Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How much vacuum service can this Apollo 7610727 ball valve withstand?

A. 29 inches of Hg.

Q. What is the difference between ball valves and butterfly valves?

A.

• Ball valves have a ball inside the valve body that rotates to control the flow of fluid, while butterfly valves have a disk-shaped element that rotates to control the flow.
• Ball valves provide a smooth flow with low resistance, while butterfly valves can cause turbulence in the flow due to the disk shape of the valve element.
• Ball valves are typically larger and heavier than butterfly valves, making them more suitable for high-pressure applications.
