Are Apollo ball valves directional?

Are Apollo ball valves directional?

Two piece threaded end Apollo 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. Note: Valves must be installed in piping systems that comply with the applicable portions of the ASME B31 standards.

How do you adjust Apollo valves?

To adjust the Apollo “MVA” Series, simply turn the handle to the desired setting. Facing top of the valve, turn the handle clockwise to decrease the mixed temperature, or counter-clockwise to increase the mixed temperature. Allow the mixed temperature to stabilize (at least one minute) before making another adjustment.

Is Apollo and conbraco the same?

Conbraco Industries in the United States is a leading manufacturer of a complete package of bronze, brass, steel and stainless steel valves and a range of backflow preventers sold mainly in the commercial, industrial and consumer market (retail) under the strong brand name “APOLLO®“ Valves.

Where are Apollo valves made?

By “Apollo” Valves. January 3, 2019 “Apollo’s” commercial and industrial valves are designed, engineered, cast, machined, assembled, and tested in our state-of-the-art facilities in the Carolinas, right down to our yellow handles. In fact, we’ve been American-made from the very beginning.

Does it matter which direction a ball valve is installed?

VALVE ORIENTATION: Ball valves may be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs, they are bi-directional therefore flow direction is not critical, however the best practice is to set up the valve handle to point in the direction of flow whenever possible.

How do you adjust a thermostatic mixing valve?

To adjust the temperature supply remove the plastic cap on top of the valve and adjust with a close fitting spanner. To increase the temperature turn anti-clockwise To decrease the temperature turn clockwise To set the valve to a maximum recommended mixed water temperature, see table below.

How does a two way valve work?

A 2-way, normally closed, solenoid valve has 2 pipe connections, an inlet called the cavity port and an outlet called the body orifice port. When the valve is energized the plunger opens allowing media to flow through the valve in the cavity port and out the body orifice port. Turn off the power.

Does Apollo own conbraco?

The Netherlands-based Aalberts Industries N.V. has recently acquired Conbraco Industries Inc., manufacturer of APOLLO Valves.

Are Apollo ball valves good?

Apollo ball valves are backed by over 80 years of experience. That amount of time includes a good deal of effort invested in producing the finest quality valves and related parts, through research, innovation, and hard work.

Which valves are bidirectional?

Gate / Globe / Check valves are bidirectional or unidirectional? In a unidirectional valve the medium can flow in only one direction. In a bidirectional valve, the medium can flow in both the directions. In case of Gate / Globe / Check valves, Gate valve is bidirectional and Globe and Check valves are unidirectional.

Is my ball valve open or closed?

Ball valves Open or closed: When the handle of a ball valve is parallel to the valve or pipe, it’s open. When it’s perpendicular, it’s closed. This makes it easy to know if a ball valve is open or closed, just by looking at it. The ball valve below is in the open position.

How does a manual mixing valve work?

Closing (turning clockwise, or “in” or “down” or “closed”) a manual mixing valve mixes in less cold water so it makes the resulting “hot water” in the building hotter – it raises the hot water temperature.

How do you adjust the temperature on a valve?

Where are Jomar valves made?
