APOLLO VALVES 70-601-01 Ball Valve, 1/4 Inch, 400 PSI, -20 to 450 Deg. F, Lever Handle, FNPT

Apollo 70-601-01 ball valve is suitable for precise control and regulating the flow of liquids and gases in the oil & gas, water treatment, chemical processing and HVAC industries.

Working Mechanism:

• Ball valves direct or regulate the flow of a fluid (liquids, gases, solids, or slurries) by closing, opening or partly blocking different passageways using a controlling ball with a hole inside.
• When the valve opens, the bore line permits gas, oil or other liquid to flow through.
• It can be turned to the closed position, where the bore is perpendicular to the opening of the pipeline, stopping the contents from flowing through.

Features:

• Apollo 70-601-01 ball valve has a bronze body for superior durability and resistance against corrosion.
• It features a lever handle for ease of operation with a simple turn handle offering quick and precise control over fluid flow.
• The 3-way valve's RPTFE seat ensures a secure and reliable seal, preventing leaks and enhancing overall performance.
• It has a maximum pressure rating of 400 PSI CWP (Cold Working Pressure), making it a suitable choice for diverse pressure applications.
• This full port ball valve's ball is coated with chrome plating for resistance against wear and corrosion, ensuring the valve's consistent operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can Apollo 70-601-01 ball valve handle corrosive fluids?

A. Yes, it features a PTFE body seal, making it highly resistant to corrosive fluids.

Q. What safety considerations should I keep while installing a ball valve?

A. Before installation, assess the flow direction and orientation, ensuring the valve is aligned correctly. Tighten connections appropriately, taking care not to overtighten, which might damage the valve or deform seals. Also, ensure the system's pressure and temperature compatibility.

Q. How should I clean Apollo 70-601-01 ball valve for optimal performance?

A. Proper cleaning involves disassembling the valve, using a compatible solvent to remove debris and ensuring no residue remains. Be cautious not to damage seals or surfaces.
