Apollo 1 1/2"" Ball Valve Spring Loaded

Apollo 1 1/2"" Ball Valve Spring Loaded

This is an Apollo 71-500 series, 1-1/2" standard port ball valve, designed for reliable shutoff in general purpose applications on concrete mixer trucks. The key feature is its spring-loaded 'deadman' handle, which automatically returns the valve to the closed position when released, enhancing safety and preventing accidental water loss. Constructed from a durable bronze body with a chrome-plated brass ball and a blowout-proof stainless steel stem, it is commonly used in mixer water systems for washout or tank filling operations where fail-safe closing is required.
