- 304 stainless steel reverse lever gives durable, easy operation
Apollo 70104HC Bronze Ball Valve
This 3/4 inch FNPT x hose cap valve uses a bronze B584 body with a two-piece inline design. It suits plumbing and irrigation systems needing reliable shut-off at standard port flow. The chrome-plated brass ball and RPTFE seats handle water, oil and compatible gases in residential or light commercial service.
Sustained pressure and temperature range
Rated for 450 psi cold working pressure, the valve operates continuously from -20 degrees to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The blowout-proof brass stem and 304 stainless steel reverse lever maintain sealing integrity through repeated thermal cycles without packing leaks or handle loosening.
Installation checks before ordering
Verify the piping uses 3/4 inch female NPT threads to match the FNPT inlet. Confirm the hose cap outlet suits the intended hose or accessory connection. Ensure system pressure and media temperature stay within the 450 psi and 450 degree Fahrenheit limits for bronze and RPTFE compatibility.

Questions about this item
Does the 304 stainless steel handle stay cool when the valve runs at 450 degrees Fahrenheit all day?
The handle is made of 304 stainless steel, which conducts less heat than brass, but the valve body reaches the full fluid temperature of up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit during continuous operation.
What pipe fitting do I already need to thread this 3/4 inch FNPT inlet onto?
You need a male NPT pipe thread of 3/4 inch on your supply line to mate with the female NPT inlet on this valve.
Will the RPTFE seats hold up if I keep my older brass piping that may have minor scale?
RPTFE seats resist abrasion and chemical attack better than plain PTFE, so they tolerate the light scale typically found in older brass piping without rapid wear.
