Apollo 94A20301 1/2 in Brass Ball Valve

The Apollo 94A20301 is a manual two-way ball valve built from brass with a chrome-plated brass ball. Its straight, full-port body handles combustible gases at up to 600 psi. The sweat connection suits copper piping systems. It is intended for installers needing a durable shut-off in residential or light commercial gas lines.

Replaces older gate or plug valves in gas service

Swapping a leaking gate valve for this full-port ball valve restores quick quarter-turn shut-off and reduces pressure drop. The upgrade is worth it when the existing valve seizes, weeps at the stem, or restricts flow in a 1/2 in line. The two-piece brass body resists corrosion better than aged iron or steel units.

Sweat joint requires clean copper and flux

Installation demands a properly prepared sweat joint: clean tubing, flux, and even heat to avoid voids. The non-locking handle stays clear during soldering. What usually goes wrong is overheating the valve body, which can damage the ball seal, or insufficient solder penetration that leaves a slow leak at the fitting.

Questions about this item

What pipe size does the 1/2 in sweat connection on the Apollo 94A20301 require?

The valve uses a 1/2 in sweat connection that fits 1/2 in copper tubing for soldered installation.

How is the Apollo 94A20301 installed and what step is commonly missed?

Clean and flux the copper pipe and valve sockets, then solder the joints; the step often missed is removing the handle before heating to protect the PTFE seats.

When should the PTFE seats or stem packing on the Apollo 94A20301 be replaced?

Replace seats or packing if the valve drips when closed or leaks around the stem, typically after many thermal cycles or high-pressure gas service at 600 psi.
