Product Identity

The Apollo 86B10324 is a manual two-way ball valve designed for inline installation in plumbing and industrial piping systems. It suits technicians and facility managers who need a durable shut-off component for air or natural gas lines. The three-piece stainless steel body allows straightforward maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.

Critical Specification

This valve carries a maximum operating pressure of 1,440 psi and a steam rating of 250 psi, with a vacuum service rating of 29 in Hg. The 316 stainless steel ball and full-port design maintain flow capacity while resisting corrosion. A locking handle secures the valve position against accidental operation.

Fit and Alternatives

Installers working with 1/2-inch FNPT connections and requiring fire-safe construction for combustible gas service will find this valve appropriate. Buyers who need a different port size, a non-locking handle, or a valve rated for higher steam pressure should look at other models. The three-piece construction also simplifies seal replacement compared to one-piece units.

Questions about this item

How does the 1,440 psi operating pressure hold up once the valve is installed in a real piping system?

The 1,440 psi rating is the maximum operating pressure the valve can withstand when properly installed in a compatible piping system.

What does the 1/2" FNPT connection mean for compatibility and what does it cap in practice?

The 1/2" FNPT connection uses female National Pipe Taper threads, limiting compatibility to male NPT fittings of the same nominal size.

What are the physical requirements for fitting and mounting this three-piece valve body?

The straight, three-piece stainless steel body with full port design requires inline installation between two 1/2" male NPT pipe ends with adequate wrench clearance.
