Brass Sweat Ball Valve

The Apollo 95ALF20301 is a 1/2 inch inline brass ball valve designed for sweat connections on copper tubing. It serves plumbers and contractors installing or repairing potable water and hydronic heating lines in residential or light commercial buildings.

Sustained Pressure and Temperature Performance

Rated for 600 psi cold working pressure, the valve maintains a reliable seal across a continuous operating range of 32 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The PTFE seats and EPDM body seals resist degradation during prolonged thermal cycling, while the blowout-proof stem prevents stem ejection under constant system pressure.

Sweat Connection Practical Limits

The sweat-by-sweat ends require direct soldering to 1/2 inch copper tube, so installation demands open flame work and adequate clearance for a torch. The full-port chrome-plated brass ball allows unrestricted flow but the valve cannot be disassembled for cleaning once soldered in place, and the plated steel lever handle may conduct heat during the brazing process.

Questions about this item

Will the 600 psi CWP rating keep the valve cool and quiet during all-day flow?

The 600 psi CWP rating is a pressure limit, not a thermal or acoustic spec; the brass body and PTFE seats run at the water temperature supplied, so noise and heat depend on the system, not the valve alone.

What pipe and tools must I already have to sweat this 1/2 in valve into place?

You need 1/2 in copper tube, flux, lead-free solder, a propane or MAPP torch, pipe cutter, emery cloth and a fitting brush to make the sweat connections.

Can the 1/2 in sweat ends join directly to older 1/2 in copper without adapters?

Yes, the sweat-by-sweat ends accept standard 1/2 in copper tube, so the valve slides onto existing copper of the same size for a direct soldered joint.
