  • Manual two-way control for air and water systems

Manual 2-Way Ball Valve Sweat Bronze

This Apollo 70LF20A01 is a manual two-way ball valve designed for controlling the flow of air or water in plumbing and industrial piping systems. Its bronze body and chrome-plated bronze ball provide durability for general service applications. The sweat connection allows for a secure soldered joint on copper tubing. It is suited for installers and maintenance personnel requiring a reliable shut-off valve.

Upgrade from basic stop valves

This valve replaces simple stop or gate valves where a quarter-turn lever handle offers faster operation and a clear visual indication of open or closed status. The two-piece construction allows for easier in-line maintenance compared to single-piece designs. The jump is worth it when the system demands a 600 psi operating pressure rating or a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg. It is not for systems requiring 3-A sanitary compliance or locking handle security.

Sweat connection and pressure limits

The sweat end connections require soldering equipment and skill to install correctly on compatible copper piping. The bronze body is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and a maximum steam pressure of 150 psi. Combustible gas service is not rated for this model. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What pipe size does the 4 in sweat connection require?

The valve is designed for a 4 in nominal copper tube that is sweat-soldered directly into the two-piece bronze body.

Which way must the lever handle point when the valve is fully open?

Align the lever parallel to the pipe run; the non-locking handle shows the ball port is straight through.

How often should the PTFE seats be inspected or replaced?

Check the seats annually for wear or leakage; replace them if the 600 psi water seal no longer holds.
