Apollo 94A Series Brass Ball Valve, Two Piece, Inline, Lever, 1-1/2" NPT Female

Not all valves are rated for flammable gas . This one is and a full port opening. Could not find this valve at the big box store. It would have to be ordered. Amazon got it delivered in a timely matter.

Good price on a 1-1/4" ball valve that's certified (UL/CSA) for natural gas.

Good shutoff valve that worked fine for me. It stops flow completely when shut off and has good flow when on.

Bought it for my compressor as a shut off valve and it does the job well. Very happy with the purchase.

Better quality and a Lot less expensive than the POS Lasco valve that Home Depot sells!

I have used Apollo valves and other Conbraco products in my position as Maintenance Manager for a Timken Bearing plant for 30 years. Apollo valves were always as good as you could get. I bought this Apollo valve for personal use from Amazon instead or a local commercial jobbing house. I noticed it didn't look right and was uncharacteristically hard to open and close. The threads were not cleanly cut and the handle and packing nut were not cleanly machined. I took the handle off the check if the packing nut was too tight and noticed the made in China engraving on the back of the handle. These valves are being marketed as Apollo INTERNATIONAL, NOT AMERICAN APOLLO. 40 YEARS OF QUALITY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING IN USA THEN CUTTING CORNERS BY CHINESE MANUFACTURING EQUALS INFERIOR PRODUCTS. i WILL NOT BE BUYING FROM THIS SUPPLIER AGAIN. If amazons search algorithms continue to highlight Chinese junk products I will shop elsewhere.

It's a valve and it works, right? Nothing about this is cheap or poorly made. I'm pleased with it. Thanks.

Works as advertised.
