Apollo 107T Series Bronze Gate Valve, Class 150, Rising Stem, 1" NPT Female

This class 150 Apollo Valve 107T series bronze gate valve has a rising stem and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends. The bronze construction, solid wedge gate, and union bonnet provide higher strength and resistance to corrosion than brass, and it has a rising stem that moves up and down with the gate that offers a visual signal (when extended) that the valve is open. This stem design and the graphite internal packing also prevent the stem threads from coming into contact with flow to avoid corrosion to extend valve life. This gate valve is full port for reduced friction; its inner diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe it connects to enable maximum operating efficiency. The maximum pressure is 300 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for cold working pressure (CWP) and 150 psig for steam working pressure (SWP), and it has a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 406 degrees F. It has female NPT threads on both ends for connecting to male threaded pipes. Mounted on top of the valve, a manually operated malleable iron hand wheel activates the inside screw mechanism, which lifts and lowers the gate to start and stop the flow between the connected pipes. This valve comes with a five-year warranty for workmanship and material defects. This class 150 valve meets Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) SP-80 for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to tolerance, construction, dimension, and wall thickness, but it is not a direct measurement of maximum working pressure. The valve is appropriate for use in plumbing and heating applications, including use in building service pipe systems.

Gate valves control flow in a piping system by lifting a gate out of the path of steam, fluids, or gases. They are designed to block or permit flow, as the vibrations and force of flow repeatedly striking a partly lowered gate can damage the gate and seats. To accommodate different flows and pressure requireme
