Manual Two-Way Ball Valve

The Apollo 70LF24801 is a manual two-way ball valve designed for controlling the flow of air and water in plumbing systems. It features a straight, two-piece bronze body with a standard port configuration and a chrome-plated bronze ball. The non-locking lever handle provides direct manual operation for on-off service.

Sustained Pressure and Vacuum Performance

The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 600 psi and a steam working pressure of 150 psi. It maintains a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg, indicating reliable sealing under negative pressure conditions. These ratings define its safe operating envelope for continuous duty in compatible piping installations.

Sweat Connection Installation

Installation requires sweat soldering the valve into copper piping using appropriate flux and solder alloys. The two-piece body construction allows for internal inspection or servicing if required. Installers must verify that system media and temperatures are compatible with bronze construction and the valve's pressure ratings. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical content.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 70LF24801 generate when it runs all day?

The bronze valve body and chrome-plated bronze ball have no moving electrical parts, so the 70LF24801 produces no measurable heat or noise during continuous operation.

What piping must I already have to install this sweat valve?

You need 2-inch copper tubing ready for sweat soldering, plus flux, solder and a torch to join the straight-style body to your existing water or air lines.

Will the 600 psi rating and 29 in Hg vacuum rating work with my older 150 psi steam system?

Yes, the 70LF24801 is rated for 150 psi steam and 600 psi general service, so it safely handles the pressure and vacuum levels found in legacy steam installations.
