APOLLO VALVES 76-107-27 Cf8m Stainless Steel Ball Valve Fnpt 1-1/2 In

Apollo 7610727 CF8M stainless steel ball valve controls the flow of liquids and gases. It consists of a spherically shaped ball with a hole through the centre rotating inside the valve body to open / close the flow. This Apollo CF8M ball valve is used in plumbing & heating systems, chemical & petrochemical industries and agriculture & irrigation systems.

Working Mechanism:

• It uses a rotating ball inside the valve body to control the fluid flow.
• This ball has a hole through the centre to align with the inlet & outlet ports when the valve is open to allow free fluid flow.
• When the ball is turned to stop the flow, the valve gets closed.
• A handle or lever attached to a stem extends from the top of the valve body and rotates this ball.
• This valve operates with a quarter-turn motion to open or close the valve.
• This makes ball valves operate and provide a fast & precise controlling of fluid flow.
• This tight seal is created when the ball is turned to close the valve for a leak-proof shutoff.

Features:

• It comes with reinforced seats for added safety.
• This ball valve is equipped with a mounting pad for easy actuator mounting.
• It features a blowout-proof stem design to prevent over-pressurising.
• This ball valve has an adjustable packing gland for reduced operating costs.
• It is integrated with stainless construction to prevent corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• This ball valve offers female NPT thread to seal the pipes for seamless transfer.
• It also comes with a locking handle and mounting pad for enhanced safety & security.

Standards and Approvals:

• API 607
• NACE
• MR0175
• MR0103

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How much vacuum service can this Apollo 7610727 ball valve withstand?

A. 29 inches of Hg.

Q. What is the difference between ball valves and butterfly valves?

A.

• Ball valves have a ball inside the valve body that rotates to control the flow of fluid, while butterfly valves have a disk-shaped element that rotates to control the flow.
• Ball valves provide a smooth flow with low resistance, while butterfly valves can cause turbulence in the flow due to the disk shape of the valve element.
• Ball valves are typically larger and heavier than butterfly valves, making them more suitable for high-pressure applications.
