Apollo 7K‑102‑27 bronze ball valve 3/8″ 125 psi with drain

Apollo 7K‑102‑27 bronze ball valve 3/8 125 psi with drain is a dependable, industrial-grade valve engineered for fluid and gas control systems where maintenance accessibility and safety are crucial. As part of the Apollo 7K Full Port Series, this 3/8-inch valve features a full port to reduce flow restriction, a drain port for safe pressure release, and robust components built to last.

The Apollo 7K‑102‑27 bronze ball valve 3/8 125 psi with drain is designed for moderate-pressure systems, supporting a Cold Working Pressure (CWP) of 125 psi—perfect for water, compressed air, and low-temperature steam systems. It is crafted from a durable ASTM B584-C84400 cast bronze body, and includes RPTFE seats, adjustable RPTFE packing, and a blow-out-proof stem for enhanced safety and longevity.

A significant advantage of the Apollo 7K‑102‑27 bronze ball valve 3/8 125 psi with drain is its integrated drain port—designed to safely vent trapped fluid downstream of the valve, enabling maintenance or de-pressurization without removing the valve. The valve also includes a mounting pad for optional actuation, making it flexible for manual or automatic control systems.

To reinforce safety and durability, the valve includes a blow-out proof stem and adjustable stuffing box, resisting ejection even under pressure fluctuations. The precision chrome-plated ball delivers smooth operation over thousands of cycles, supported by corrosion-resistant RPTFE components capable of withstanding wide temperature ranges from +50°F to 200°F (as per Apollo’s 7K Series performance data).

H2: Technical Specifications

H2: Applications

The Apollo 7K‑102‑27 bronze ball valve 3/8″ 125 psi with drain is tailored for systems requiring fluid flush, pressure relief, or draining during maintenance, as found in HVAC, pneumatic tool lines, industrial plant drain-off systems, and water safety circuits. The drain port enables ease of service while preserving line integrity, especially in remote or space-limited installations.

H2: Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Apply PTFE tape or compatible thread sealant to male threads.

2. Hand-tighten then torque adequately for leak-free installation.

3. Use the drain port to relieve pressure downstream before servicing the system.

4. Regularly check the adjustable packing and tighten as needed to prevent leakage.

5. Clean and exercise the valve periodically in systems prone to sediment or scale build-up.
