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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-piece 316 stainless steel body for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch FNPT x FNPT connections for straightforward threaded installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced PTFE seat and seal material for durable, low-friction shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel lever handle for quick quarter-turn manual operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMSS SP-110 compliant construction meets recognized industry standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard port design suitable for typical residential and light commercial flow control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 3\/8 inch threaded pipe systems requiring a 2-piece stainless steel manual shutoff valve with FNPT x FNPT end connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT x FNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePort Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Structure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrim Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reinforced Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSS SP-110 Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.54 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APOLLO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7660227A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APOLLO VALVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67907352494386,"sku":"7660227A","price":306.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/56cbf8517757bda91650bd74aea855b3.jpg?v=1791178133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apollo-7660227a-3-8-inch-ball-valve-stainless-steel-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
