Installation:
The Apollo International ball valves are bi-directional. They may be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs without regard to flow direction and without regard to stem
orientation.
Threaded End Valves
Clean pipe ends and valve threads. Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the male threads. Two wrenches must be used when mating up pipe joints. Apply one flat-faced
wrench on the valve hex closest to the pipe joint being tightened and use a pipe wrench on the pipe to prevent transmitting torque through the valve body
joint. Typical wrench make-up is 1-1/2 turns after installing the pipe hand-tight. Do not overtighten the valve onto the pipe. Do not reverse-rotate after tightening as this can
damage the body/retainer seal.
Solder End (Sweat In) Valves
Caution: Use only solders with melt points below 500°F. Valves should only be soldered in the fully open position.
During soldering, the mid-portion of the valve body should not exceed 300°F. Depending on the fuel selected and the orientation of the installation it may be necessary to wrap
the valve body with wet rags or employ other heat absorbing techniques. The flame must be directed away from the valve body, concentrated on the solder cup. The cup should
be heated evenly. Allow heated joints to cool naturally. After soldering, it may be necessary to adjust the stem packing due to temperatures involved. See Regular Maintenance
instructions.
Fuel Flame temperature in Air, Propane 3596°F 1980°C, Natural Gas 3560°F 1960°C, MAPP Gas 3670°F 2021°C, Acetylene 4622°F 2550°C, Acetylene w/ O2 5612°F 3100°C
Warning!: Excessive heat input will damage the body seal resulting in leaks at the valve body joint. In extreme cases, seats and stem packing may also be damaged.
