1/2 Inch Pressure Reducing Valve

The Apollo 36ELF12301S is a water pressure reducing valve built from lead-free bronze for potable water systems. It uses a double union solder-by-solder connection sized at 1/2 inch. The valve is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 Section 8 2010 Annex F & G, ASSE 1003/CSA B356, CA AB1953, and VT ACT 193 standards. It meets ARRA compliance requirements.

Build Integration and Space Savings

This valve installs directly into 1/2 inch copper piping using solder unions, requiring no threaded adapters or dielectric fittings. Its lead-free bronze body satisfies low-lead mandates in California, Vermont, and other jurisdictions adopting similar statutes. The factory pressure setting of 50 psi reduces commissioning time, while the adjustable range of 15 to 75 psi accommodates varied supply conditions without swapping components.

Ideal Installations and Limitations

The valve suits residential and light commercial plumbing where a compact, code-compliant pressure reducer is specified for 1/2 inch lines. Installers needing a higher maximum working pressure than 400 psi or an adjustment range beyond 75 psi should select a different model. Systems requiring threaded, flanged, or press-fit connections will need an alternative valve design.
