PRECAUTIONARY NOTE : Not recommended for use with reciprocating pumps and similar applications which may induce repetitious vibrations. Low flow rates, which do not fully open the valve, may result in undesirable noise and premature valve failure. Upstream flow disturbances, which create turbulence, may also result in rapid wear. Therefore, it is recommended that a minimum of 10 diameters of straight pipe be provided between the check valve and any upstream flow disturbances such as pumps, control valves, elbows, etc.

Conbraco Industries was created when two Detroit-based manufacturers of brass valves and fittings merged in 1928 forming Consolidated Brass Company. After 80 years, 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
