Apollo 94A10001 Ball Valve 3 in Full Port Forged Brass 400 Psi

Product Description

The APOLLO 94A10001 is a 3-inch full-port manual ball valve built for in-line shutoff and flow control in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. The two-piece forged brass body with chrome finish provides structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends allow direct threaded installation into standard pipe runs. A lever handle gives the installer fast quarter-turn open and close operation. Rated at 400 psi WOG and rated for service from 0 degrees F to 400 degrees F, this valve handles a wide range of water, oil, and gas applications where a reliable full-bore shutoff is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

The 94A10001 is suited for residential and commercial mechanical systems where a 3-inch threaded shutoff is needed. Typical applications include main water service lines, boiler supply and return piping, chilled water loops, hydronic heating systems, and industrial process piping. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, making it appropriate for systems where flow restriction must be kept to a minimum. The FNPT end connections fit standard 3-inch threaded pipe in both ferrous and non-ferrous piping configurations.

Key Features

• Full-port bore maintains maximum flow and minimizes pressure drop
• Forged brass body with chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seat material provides low-friction, leak-resistant sealing
• 400 psi WOG rating supports a broad range of service conditions
• Operating temperature range of 0 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Lever handle enables quick quarter-turn operation and visual open/closed indication
• Two-piece in-line body design allows end connections to be tightened without disturbing the valve

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 3-inch FNPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads per the sealant manufacturer's instructions before making up connections. Do not use a pipe wrench directly on the valve body; use a backup wrench on the hex flats provided to avoid distorting the body or seat.
