Apollo Valves 70-103-27 Bronze Ball Valve 1/2 in 600 Psi

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 70-103-27 is a 1/2-inch bronze ball valve designed for reliable manual shutoff in plumbing, hydronic, and general fluid-handling systems. It features a chrome-plated brass ball for smooth, consistent operation and a blowout-proof stem for added safety under pressure. The zinc-plated steel lever handle includes a securely attached vinyl grip and locks in the open or closed position, making it well-suited for applications where accidental actuation is a concern. Rated at 600 psig WOG (water, oil, gas) cold working pressure and 150 psig saturated steam, this valve handles a wide range of service conditions encountered in residential and light commercial work.

This valve is a general-purpose shutoff solution installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, HVAC hydronic loops, and compressed-air piping. The locking handle makes it appropriate for mechanical rooms, equipment isolation points, and anywhere a secured-open or secured-closed position is required by code or best practice. It is sold individually and suits both new construction and retrofit service calls.
