Apollo 1/2" Bronze Ball Valve
This Apollo 82LF10301 is a manual two-way ball valve built for inline shut-off in plumbing and hydronic systems. Its bronze body and chrome-plated brass ball suit water and steam service up to the rated limits. The full-port design maintains flow area through the 1/2 inch FNPT connections. A lever handle provides direct quarter-turn operation.
For Water and Steam Lines to 150 psi Steam
Installers needing a straight-pattern bronze valve rated for 600 psi water, oil, gas or 150 psi saturated steam will find the specifications match. The 29 in Hg vacuum rating supports evacuation duties. Builders requiring 3-A sanitary certification, locking handles, combustible-gas ratings or larger nominal sizes must select a different valve.
600 psi Water / 150 psi Steam Pressure Rating
The maximum operating pressure of 600 psi for water, oil and gas and 150 psi for steam is the single figure that decides whether this valve fits the system design. Exceeding either limit risks leakage or body damage. Verify the service pressure against these ratings before installation.

Questions about this item
What pipe fitting do I need to connect this 1/2" FNPT valve?
You need a male NPT thread of the same 1/2" nominal size; the valve's female NPT ends screw directly onto that thread with sealant or tape.
Will this bronze valve handle the 150 psi steam limit in my older boiler loop?
Yes, the valve is rated for 150 psi steam and 600 psi water, so it suits older low-pressure steam loops within those limits.
How can I confirm the valve is operating correctly after installation?
Pressurise the line, cycle the lever from fully closed to fully open, and verify no leakage at the joints or stem while flow moves freely.
