Apollo Valves ABSC12 Bronze Stopcock 1/2 Inch Shut-off Valve

Product Description

The APOLLO VALVES ABSC12 is a 1/2-inch bronze stopcock designed for precise shut-off and flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. Built from solid bronze, the valve resists corrosion and handles the moisture exposure and temperature variation common in mechanical system environments. A quarter-turn operation mechanism allows fast, positive open and close action with minimal effort. This stopcock suits residential, commercial, and industrial installations where a reliable inline shut-off is required on water, gas, or process fluid lines. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

The ABSC12 is suited for a wide range of plumbing and mechanical system applications. Its 1/2-inch port size fits standard pipe fittings, making it a practical replacement or new-installation valve in residential water supply lines, commercial plumbing systems, and HVAC hydronic circuits. The quarter-turn design reduces operator fatigue during repeated cycling and provides a clear open or closed visual indication. Industrial fluid control applications where bronze construction is preferred over ferrous materials are also appropriate use cases for this valve.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Ensure thread engagement and sealing compound are applied per the fitting type before tightening. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as bronze fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
