Connector Type:Npt Female  |  Item Length String:1.60 Inches  |  Number of Items:1  |  Part Number:32-101-01 The Apollo 32-100 series two-piece inline ball valve is made of bronze and has a lever handle and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections on both ends. This valve is made of bronze for higher strength and corrosion resistance than brass. It has a zinc-plated steel lever handle with a vinyl sleeve for manual on/off control. This ball valve is standard (or regular) port for reduced valve size and cost. The maximum pressure is 400 pounds per square inch (psi) for cold working pressure (CWP) and 125 psi for steam working pressure (SWP), and the maximum temperature is 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The valve is inline for connecting two pipes going in the same direction and has NPT threads on both ends for creating tighter seals than straight threads. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seats and reinforced polytetraflouroethylene (RPTFE) stem packing reduce the risk of valve leakage. This valve is for use in water lines, processing plants, and agricultural applications and meets standards MSS SP-110 and CRN: OC10908.5 for quality assurance. Ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow between pipes, tubes, or hoses. Flow is allowed when the hole that pierces the ball-shaped disc is in line with the inlet and outlet of the valve. Flow is blocked when the ball is horizontally swiveled 90 degrees, so that the hole of the ball is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter of the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and is reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe. Ball valves may have a handle or lever that aligns with the ball’s position (open or closed) for manual operation. They are primarily used in air, gas, liquid, and steam applications. Apollo manufactures ball, mixing, and relief valves, actuators, water gauges, marine fittings, heating and plumbing products, and backflow prevention devices. The company, founded in 1928 and headquartered in Matthews, NC, meets International Organization for Standardization ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and makes products that meet ISO and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.

Ball valve (usa clone)
In the few reviews that I had published, it wasn't till today, my reveiews were held for an extensive review, although my reveiw was based on my own experience and rated as the best of my knowledge, this will be the same for the rest as I feel I am being censored & staying within the protocols set fourth.

High Quality ball valve
This is a robust piece I am using as a safety shut-off valve for my for the ballast system in my boat. The valve is very high quality, solid, all-brass, and exactly what I was looking for. It seals well and I have no complaints at all.

Missing Parts
Valves seem to be of good quality but two of the three valves were missing the nut that holds on the handle. Went to the hardware store and it turned out not to be a standard nut. Still looking for the correct nuts.
