- Apollo ball valves vary by series and material. Threaded stainless steel models can be rated up to ~2000 psi WOG for smaller sizes and ~1500 psi for larger sizes, with steam or vacuum service limits noted in spec sheets. Always check the specific series rating for your valve and application.
- Valve sizing depends on your system’s flow rate (Q), pressure differential, and specific gravity of the media. Apollo’s Cv curves let you estimate flow and pressure drop , higher Cv means more flow at a given pressure drop. Use manufacturer Cv data and pipe specs to select the right size for performance.
- Many Apollo ball valve models are offered as full-port, meaning the bore matches the pipe ID, minimizing flow restriction and pressure drop , critical in high-flow or control applications vs. reduced-port designs.
- Apollo valves are available with threaded (NPT/BSPT), solder, flanged, and weld end connections. Threaded is typical for small plumbing; flanged for larger industrial systems needing easier maintenance; solder for HVAC or hydronic piping. Choose based on existing piping and installation method.
- Apollo publishes Cv values for their series, showing how many gallons per minute a valve can pass with a 1 psi differential. You use Cv to calculate expected flow and pressure drop in your system: higher Cv equals greater flow at a given ΔP.
