Apollo 3 Inch Sweat Brass Ball Valve

The Apollo 94A20001 is a 3 inch sweat brass ball valve designed for inline installation in plumbing systems. Its full port design provides unrestricted flow for residential and commercial pipework. The two piece construction allows straightforward assembly on copper tubing using sweat connections. This valve suits installers who need a reliable shut off device for 3 inch copper lines.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive plumbing component the valve generates no operational noise and draws no electrical power. The brass body and chrome plated brass ball handle fluid temperatures from 0 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit without active cooling. PTFE seats maintain sealing integrity across the temperature range while the blowout proof stem prevents stem ejection under pressure. The valve operates within a 400 psi cold working pressure rating.

Build quality and daily use

The brass body with chrome plated brass ball resists corrosion in typical water supply applications. Steel lever handle with corrosion resistant plating provides durable manual operation. Sweat by sweat connections require soldering during installation which creates permanent leak resistant joints. The inline body style fits straight pipe runs without directional changes. Blowout proof stem design adds safety during high pressure conditions. Installers who need threaded or flanged connections will require a different valve style.

Questions about this item

How do I sweat this 3-inch brass ball valve into copper pipe without leaks?

Clean both pipe ends and valve sockets, apply flux, heat the joint evenly with a torch, and feed solder until it flows around the full circumference; the step often missed is heating the fitting body rather than the pipe so the solder pulls into the socket by capillary action.

Which internal parts of the 94A20001 will need replacement after years of service?

The PTFE seats and stem packing are the wear items; they can be swapped by removing the lever handle, unthreading the stem nut, and pulling the stem and ball out of the two-piece brass body.

At what pressure does the 400 psi CWP rating become the limiting factor during prolonged operation?

The 400 psi cold working pressure is the first hard limit; sustained pressure above that value will stress the brass body and PTFE seats beyond their rated capacity.
