Apollo Valves 70-141-B5 Bronze Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Npt

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 70-141-B5 is a 1/4 inch NPT bronze ball valve designed for reliable manual shutoff in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. It features a chrome-plated brass ball and a blowout-proof stem for long-term service integrity. Rated at 600 psig WOG (water, oil, gas) cold and 150 psig saturated steam, this valve handles a wide range of service conditions. The zinc-plated steel lever handle includes a securely attached vinyl grip for positive, comfortable operation. A licensed plumber or HVAC technician is the typical installer for this type of inline shutoff valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, quarter-turn shutoff is required. Common applications include isolation of water supply lines, gas distribution branch lines, and hydronic heating circuits. Its bronze body construction makes it compatible with copper, brass, and threaded iron piping systems. The non-locking lever handle allows for fast open and close operation without tools, making it practical for service and maintenance access points.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas service. Depressurize and drain the line before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before installation. Do not over-torque threaded connections on bronze-body valves, as this can crack the body or distort the seat.
