Bronze two-piece ball valve with sweat ends and lever handle

Apollo

Apollo 70LF24401 3/4 in Bronze Ball Valve

SKU CH-EX4D-FFRZP

Inline bronze ball valve handles air and water up to 600 psi with a 29 in Hg vacuum rating

  • Rated for 600 psi water and air service
  • Handles 150 psi steam applications safely
  • Vacuum rated to 29 in Hg for negative pressure
  • Chrome-plated bronze ball resists corrosion and wear
  • Two-piece bronze body enables inline maintenance

Valve Purpose and User

This Apollo 70LF24401 is a manual two-way bronze ball valve built for inline shut-off of air or water lines. It suits plumbers and maintenance crews who need a straight-pattern, 3/4-inch sweat connection with a standard port.

Deciding Specification

The valve is rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure and 150 psi steam pressure, with a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg. Those pressure limits are the single figures that determine whether the part matches the system design.

Installation Notes and Common Issues

Sweat the bronze body into copper pipe using standard brazing practice; the chrome-plated bronze ball and non-locking handle operate freely after assembly. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm, so wear gloves and ventilate the work area. It is not rated for combustible gas service.

Questions about this item

What does the 600 psi pressure rating mean when the valve is installed?

The 600 psi rating is the maximum operating pressure for air or water service; the valve must not see higher pressure in the system.

How does the sweat connection affect installation?

The sweat ends require copper tubing and soldering equipment to form a permanent, leak-tight joint.

What clearance is needed for the lever handle?

The non-locking lever handle needs enough room to swing a quarter-turn from open to closed without obstruction.
