The Series 71-500 Apollo Ball Valves with Spring Return Handle is used when automatic control of fluid flow is required. The spring return mechanism ensures that the valve returns to its original position when the actuating force is removed. Apollo offers two options- Spring Return to Close (-01) or Spring Return to Open (-08).

The spring return handle is larger and delivers about three times the operating torque of a standard ball valve. The components of the spring return handle are constructed from A2076-316 stainless steel. The large handle format and comfortable vinyl grip help the operator maintain control during the operation of the valve. An optional 90° stem can be installed so the handle can be operated in the reverse.

Apollo manufactures this two-piece, standard port ball valve from Cast B584 Bronze. The choice of bronze material in these valves makes them suitable for applications where corrosion resistance and durability are important.

The valve is featured with a blowout-proof stem design, an adjustable packing gland, and a chromium-plated ball. This Apollo bronze ball valve has standard threaded female NPT connections. A max pressure rating of 150psig (saturated steam), 600CWP, cold non-shock, and suitability for vacuum service up to 29 inches of mercury are other key attributes of this Apollo ball valve.
