Apollo Valves 70-102-27 Bronze Ball Valve 3/8 Inches

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 70-102-27 is a 3/8-inch bronze ball valve designed for reliable shutoff and straightforward manual operation in plumbing and mechanical systems. Built with a chrome-plated brass ball and a blowout-proof stem, this valve delivers consistent performance across a wide range of service conditions. The adjustable packing gland allows field adjustment to address stem leakage without taking the valve out of service. Rated at 600 psig WOG cold and 150 psig saturated steam, this valve handles demanding pressure requirements in both water and steam applications. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and residential settings.

This ball valve is suited for water, oil, and gas service at pressures up to 600 psig WOG cold and 150 psig saturated steam. The zinc-plated steel lever handle with a securely attached vinyl grip allows quick quarter-turn operation, making it practical in tight or high-traffic mechanical rooms. It is commonly installed on supply and return lines, isolation points, and branch takeoffs where a compact, durable shutoff is required.
