I"m surprised you can actually still buy an american made ball valve. Typically when you start seeing China stuff mixing in with the old US stock it means that they are switching the mfg to China and soon that"s all you"ll find. Years ago I bought some chinese ball valves from Harbor Freight and they looked to be excellent quality, nice casting, nice machining, all teflon insides- they"ve been on a compressed air system at 160 psi and no problems. But like HJ said, probably full of lead LOL.

After leading as a manufacturer of American-made flow control products, like backflow, PVC check valves and PVC ball valves since 1928, Conbraco became known as “Apollo.” In the industry, Apollo valves are recognized by their signature yellow handles.

Apollo valves are designed, engineered, cast, machined, assembled, and tested in ISO-registered, state-of-the-art facilities in the Carolinas. In fact, about 95% of Apollo’s backflow and valve products are made in the USA. At their foundries, they cast 81 bronze, 85 bronze, lead-free bronze, carbon steel, low-temp carbon steel, stainless steel, low-carbon stainless steel, alloy 20, Hastelloy “C,” nickel, nickel-copper alloys, and titanium.

Apollo’s vertical manufacturing integration assures better quality control, better cost control, and the shortest delivery lead times possible for their range of ball valves and 3-way ball valves, check valves, needle valves, automation products, safety relief valves, backflow preventers, and plumbing/heating products.

More About Apollo ValvesTwo Detroit-based manufacturers of brass valves and fittings merged in 1928, forming Consolidated Brass Company and Conbraco Industries was created. Conbraco Industries, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of American Made flow control products for U.S. and International Markets. In 2005, all products were brought under the Apollo name, of which NASVI stocks hot water safety release valves, bronze high capacity commercial T&P valves, low pressure steam heating boiler safety valves, low pressure air relief valves, and bronze safety valves.

Constantly developing and introducing new products, and focusing on superior problem-solving initiatives, Apollo Valves continues to produce top quality and reliable solutions.

Conbraco Industries was created when two Detroit-based manufacturers of brass valves and fittings merged in 1928 forming Consolidated Brass Company. Over 80 years later, Conbraco is an American success story that"s still being written.

The company now known as Apollo® Valves earned a reputation for developing new products to meet emerging market demands. In 1968, the company introduced its Apollo® Series 70 ball valve to the commercial market.

A revolutionary innovation at the time, the product became the most specified ball valve in the world. Line extensions have resulted in new materials, new sizes and new applications for the classic Apollo ball valve.

In 2005, the company brought all of its products under the Apollo® Valves brand. Products which had been sold under the Conbraco brand included plumbing and heating products, water gauges, pop safety and relief valves, marine fittings and backflow prevention devices. Those lines joined the company"s ball valves, actuators and mixing valves as part of the complete Apollo Valves family of products.

"As proud as we are of the Conbraco tradition that goes back eight decades, it is the Apollo name, and the quality and reliability that it stands for, that has won the confidence of our customers," said Cal Mosack, Executive Vice President.

Nearly all Apollo® valves are produced in U.S. facilities that are second to none in the industry, including ISO-registered, state-of-the-art foundries and manufacturing facilities in Pageland and Conway, S.C. The company"s headquarters is located in Matthews, N.C.

"Some of our competitors claim to be domestic while they are really sourcing most of their products from the Far East", said Glenn Mosack. "We actually manufacture 95 to 98% of all the components in our valves in our own plants in the Carolinas, right down to the yellow handles!"

Valves for industrial applicationsIn order to prevent the uncontrolled rise in pressure in pressure vessels or pressurized pipelines, a safety valve is inserted. The safety valve is designed so that it opens at a given maximum pressure, thereby relieving the line or the container. Safety valves find their use in almost all areas of the pressure vessel and pipeline construction. In cryogenics as a spring-loaded safety valve for example.
