Apollo 70LF14401 Bronze Ball Valve

This Apollo 70LF14401 is a manual two-way ball valve built for residential or light commercial plumbing. It handles water and steam media through a straight-pattern bronze body with a 3/4 inch FNPT connection. The standard-port design uses a chrome-plated brass ball for corrosion resistance. It suits installers who need a reliable shut-off component for inline piping.

Sustained pressure and vacuum performance

The valve carries a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and a steam rating of 150 psi for continuous duty. Vacuum service is rated to 29 in Hg without leakage. These figures reflect steady-state limits rather than momentary spikes. The two-piece bronze construction maintains seal integrity under prolonged thermal cycling in steam or hot water lines.

Replaces older inline shut-off valves

This unit upgrades worn gate valves or leaking quarter-turn valves in existing 3/4 inch FNPT piping. The jump is worth it when the old valve no longer holds 600 psi water pressure or 150 psi steam pressure. It is not for systems requiring combustible gas ratings or 3-A sanitary compliance. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the product.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 70LF14401 produce when it runs all day?

The valve has no moving parts that generate heat or noise; it simply opens or closes the flow path, so continuous operation adds no measurable temperature rise or sound.

What piping or fittings must I already have to install this 3/4" FNPT bronze ball valve?

You need a 3/4 inch female NPT threaded connection on each side of the line, plus pipe thread sealant or tape rated for up to 600 psi water service.

Will the chrome-plated brass ball and bronze body work with older steel or copper pipe I plan to keep?

Yes, the standard-port chrome-plated brass ball and bronze body are compatible with existing copper, brass or steel piping in water or steam systems up to 150 psi steam pressure.
