Apollo Valves 70-105-27 Bronze Ball Valve 1 in Locking Handle

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 70-105-27 is a 1-inch bronze ball valve designed for reliable manual shutoff in a wide range of plumbing and mechanical piping systems. It features a chrome-plated brass ball and a blowout-proof stem for long-term service integrity. The zinc-plated steel lever handle includes a securely attached vinyl grip and is configured for locking, allowing the valve to be secured in the open or closed position. Rated at 600 psig WOG (water, oil, gas) cold working pressure and 150 psig saturated steam, this valve handles demanding service conditions encountered in commercial and residential installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve is suited for general-purpose shutoff duty in water, oil, and gas piping systems across residential and light commercial applications. The 1-inch end connections fit standard pipe configurations commonly found in supply lines, mechanical rooms, and utility piping. The locking handle makes it appropriate for installations where inadvertent operation must be prevented, such as in multi-tenant buildings, equipment isolation points, or code-required shutoff locations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off upstream supply pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Verify that the valve body material and pressure rating are compatible with the specific fluid and temperature conditions of the system before installation. Do not exceed the published pressure and temperature ratings for the intended service type.
