Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 70-144-E2 is a 3/4-inch NPT bronze ball valve designed for reliable manual shutoff in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It features a chrome-plated brass ball for smooth, consistent shutoff performance and a blowout-proof stem for added safety under pressure. The zinc-plated steel lever handle includes a securely attached vinyl grip for easy quarter-turn operation. Rated at 600 psig WOG cold and 150 psig saturated steam, this valve is suited for a wide range of fluid and steam service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve in both new construction and service work.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, process piping, and general HVAC applications where a dependable manual shutoff is required. The 3/4-inch NPT end connections make it a standard choice for branch lines, equipment isolation, and system service points. Its compact bronze body holds up well in wet and corrosive environments commonly found in mechanical rooms and utility spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME standards. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing the valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threads and avoid over-tightening, which can distort the valve body.
