Apollo 94A20601 Brass Ball Valve
This Apollo 94A20601 valve is a manual two-way ball valve constructed from brass with a chrome-plated brass ball. It features a full-port design and a straight body style with sweat connections for 1-1/4 inch nominal piping. The valve carries a maximum operating pressure rating of 600 psi and is rated for use with combustible gases. A non-locking handle provides standard manual operation.
Installers needing sweat-end brass valve
This valve suits plumbers and HVAC technicians requiring a full-port brass ball valve for sweat installation on 1-1/4 inch lines carrying combustible gases at pressures up to 600 psi. It is not intended for applications demanding 3-A sanitary compliance or a rated steam pressure limit. Buyers who need a locking handle for security or a vacuum service rating should look at alternative valve models.
Sweat installation requires torch and flux
Installation uses standard copper sweat techniques: clean the pipe and valve ends, apply flux, assemble the joint, and heat evenly with a torch until solder flows into the cup. The valve must be in the open position during heating to prevent pressure build-up and seat damage. Overheating the brass body can degrade the PTFE seats, causing leaks, so heat control is critical. Ensure the system is depressurised and drained before starting work.

Questions about this item
What pipe size must I already have to sweat this 1-1/4 in Apollo ball valve in place?
You need 1-1/4 in copper tubing and a torch setup for sweat soldering; the valve body is straight-pattern brass with a full-port chrome-plated brass ball.
Can I keep my existing 600 psi rated copper lines when installing this valve?
Yes — the valve is rated for 600 psi maximum operating pressure, matching typical Type L or K copper systems used at that pressure class.
How do I confirm the valve is sealing properly after soldering and cooling?
Pressurise the line up to 600 psi with air or water; the two-piece brass body and full-port ball should hold pressure with zero leakage past the seats or stem.
