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 materials are offered for both internal and external components, numerous optional features, and seat/seal combinations.  All of these features result in an expanded serviceable application range.

Fit for Purpose

Options can be combined to create a product uniquely tailored to meet each customer's specifications. These options allow a valve to be selected without compromising critical performance requirements or operating conveniences.

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, but provides automatic compensation for changes that occur as a result of varying 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 a difficult challenge for floating ball valves. The wedge design allows the ball and seats to move down the "V", assuring continued low pressure sealing for the life of the seat. All Apollo Top Entry Valves are designed with an "anti-static" feature. Also, all valve configurations come with blow-out proof stems as a standard feature.

The Right Application

Apollo’s Top Entry Valve provides simplified in-line maintenance.  Once the valve is installed, it acts as a permanent part of the pipeline.  The bonnet can be removed and repacked.  This also allows easy access to replace internal parts such as the ball and seats.  Our wedge design top entry valve is much easier to service than the parallel seat design top entry valves. Additionally, our ball to stem engagement and performance capabilities are superior.
