Apollo. 7660227A 3/8 Inch Ball Valve Stainless Steel Fnpt

Product Description

The APOLLO. 7660227A is a standard manual ball valve designed for flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Built with a 2-piece 316 stainless steel body, it handles the mechanical and corrosion demands of commercial and residential service work. The valve features a 3/8 inch pipe size with FNPT x FNPT end connections and a standard port configuration. A reinforced PTFE seat and seal package provides reliable shutoff performance. The stainless steel lever handle gives technicians quick quarter-turn operation for isolation or service tasks. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve fits 3/8 inch threaded pipe applications across a range of systems including hydronic heating, chilled water distribution, process piping, and general plumbing service lines. The FNPT x FNPT connection type makes it compatible with standard female-threaded pipe runs without additional adapters. Its stainless steel construction suits corrosive-fluid or outdoor-exposed installations where brass or carbon steel would degrade. The standard port design is appropriate for most flow control applications where full-port sizing is not required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line completely before installing or replacing the valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads before engagement. Do not over-torque the body connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
