1" Carbon Steel Gas Press Ball Valve, Full Port

Apollo® PowerPress® 1-Inch Carbon Steel Ball Valve – Fast, Flame-Free Piping Solution for Compressed Air & Gas Systems

The Apollo® PowerPress® 1-Inch Carbon Steel Ball Valve is engineered for secure, high-performance fluid and gas control in industrial and commercial applications. Designed to work with standard carbon steel piping systems, this full-port valve uses press-to-connect technology to eliminate open flames, threading, and downtime—accelerating installations while maintaining consistent quality control.

Built from robust carbon steel with factory-installed press ends and leak-detection technology, this valve supports a clean, efficient workflow and meets a broad range of project specifications, including compressed air and fuel gas systems. It’s a trusted solution for mechanical contractors who require fast, code-compliant installation on the job site.

Key Advantages

• Press Connection Technology – Reduces labor time and eliminates hot work permits, cutting installation time significantly.
• Full-Port Flow Path – Allows maximum flow capacity with minimal pressure loss.
• Carbon Steel Body – Manufactured to ASTM A105 standards for strength and durability in demanding environments.
• HNBR Sealing Elements – Designed for compatibility with fuel gases, inert gases, and compressed air.
• Visual Press Indicator – Built-in inspection ring ensures that each connection is properly pressed for installation integrity.

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1 inch
• Body Material: Carbon Steel
• Connection Type: Press (compatible with standard PowerPress® jaw sets)
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for SCH 10–40 piping
• Approvals: ANSI Z21.15/CSA 9.1 for fuel gas, MSS SP-110, complies with ASTM A53, A106, A135, A795

Installation Considerations

This valve is intended for use with compatible press tools and must be installed per manufacturer specifications and local code requirements. It is designed for quick, repeatable connections without flame or curing time. Proper pipe prep and jaw compatibility are critical for leak-free performance. Always verify system pressure ratings and media compatibility before installation.

Optimized for Mechanical Applications

• Tool-Activated Connection – Connection integrity is determined by the press tool, not installer technique, minimizing human error.
• No Open Flames – Improves safety and reduces fire risk in occupied or sensitive spaces.
• Low-Profile Design – Ideal for tight installations where welding or threading access is limited.
• Wide Media Compatibility – Suitable for air, fuel gas, nitrogen, and inert gas systems.
