2 Apollo® Top Entry Ball Valve Features Top Entry Advantages: • Self-Adjusting Seats: Compensate for Wear & Temperature Fluctuations • Spring Loaded Low Pressure Seals • Pressure Activated Seating • Built-In Antistatic Feature • Simplified In-line Service • Minimal Potential Leak Paths Standards Compliance (Most valves within this family of products comply with the requirements of these listed standards.) ASME B16.5 “Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings” ASME B16.10 “Face to Face Dimensions of Valves” (Except Full Port Valves) ASME B16.34 “Valves – Flanged, Threaded, and Welding End.” ASME B31.1 “Power Piping” ASME B31.3 “Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping” ASME B31.8 “Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems” API 607 “Fire Test – Soft Seated Quarter Turn Valves” (Depending on Seat and Seal Selection) MSS SP-25 “Standard Marking System for Valves” MSS SP-61 “Pressure Testing of Steel Valves” MSS SP-72 “Ball Valves with Flanged of Buttweld Ends” No Surprises Apollo’s Top Entry Ball Valves offer more. In addition to the three things everyone has come to expect from Conbraco: high quality products, competitive pricing and on time delivery, Apollo Top Entry Valves deliver additional premiums; a broader choice of material for both internal and external components, more optional features to choose from, and selectable seal material combinations all resulting in an expanded serviceable application range. Fit for Purpose These premiums can be combined to create a product uniquely tailored to customer specifications and applications. These additional options allow a valve to be selected without compromising critical performance requirements or operating conveniences and without adding unnecessary features and the costs associated with them. The Correct Design The special “V” seating design introduced the self-adjusting seat to the floating ball valve. This design does not rely on the built-in interference of conventional floating ball valves. It provides automatic compensation for pressure, temperature and wear. As these changes occur, the ball and seats are continuously snugged down into the “V” resulting in positive leak-tight shutoff when using resilient seats. Maintaining a low pressure seal had been the most difficult condition for floating ball valves, the wedge effect on the ball and seats down the “V” assures continued low pressure sealing for the life of the seat. All Apollo Top Entry Valves have an “anti-static” feature designed in. All valve configurations also feature blow-out proof stems as standard. The Right Application Apollo’s Top Entry Valves provide simplified in-line maintenance in the most natural way. The valve body is allowed to act as a permanent part of the piping system. Potential leak paths are eliminated with the one piece body. Only the bonnet seal and stem seals remain to be counted. And with the variety of bonnet gaskets and stem seal arrangements available through the selection of optional features, even these threats can be minimized.
