Apollo Valves 77v10001 Ball Valve 3 in Copper Press Bronze

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES 77v10001 is a 3-inch full port bronze ball valve designed for copper press installations in commercial and residential plumbing and hydronic systems. Rated at 300 CWP (cold working pressure), this valve delivers full-bore flow with minimal pressure drop — a key advantage in larger-diameter piping runs. The bronze body provides corrosion resistance suited to potable water, heating, and cooling applications. Manufactured in the USA, it is built to the dimensional and material standards expected in professional mechanical installations.

This valve is intended for use in 3-inch copper press piping systems. It is a common choice for mechanical rooms, boiler installations, chiller loops, and main supply or return lines where a reliable full port shutoff is required. The press-fit end connections eliminate the need for soldering or threading, making installation faster and suitable for use in areas where open flame is restricted. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this size and connection type.

Key Features

• Full port design maintains full pipe bore, minimizing flow restriction

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch copper press piping systems. Compatible with standard copper press fittings and tooling used in commercial and residential plumbing and hydronic heating and cooling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before installing or servicing this valve. Press-fit connections require an approved pressing tool and compatible jaw profile for the fitting size — verify tool and jaw compatibility before pressing. Do not press fittings while the system is under pressure or flow.
