FAQS
What types of valves are suitable for high-pressure applications?
For high-pressure applications, gate valves are often recommended due to their robust construction and ability to withstand extreme pressures. Additionally, ball valves are also suitable for high-pressure environments, offering reliable shut-off capabilities and minimal pressure drop.
Are your valves suitable for use in corrosive environments?
Yes, many of our valves, particularly those made from Stainless Steel, are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in corrosive environments. Bronze valves are also suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is crucial.
What are the advantages of butterfly valves over other valve types?
Butterfly valves offer several advantages, including compact design, quick operation, and cost-effectiveness. They are particularly well-suited for applications requiring moderate flow control, such as HVAC systems and water treatment plants.
Do you offer valves compliant with industry standards for lead-free materials?
Yes, we supply a range of lead-free valves that comply with industry standards such as NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372. These valves are suitable for use in potable water systems and other applications where lead contamination is a concern.
What is the difference between threaded and flanged end valves?
Threaded end valves feature screw threads for easy installation into threaded pipe fittings, offering convenience and versatility. Flanged end valves, on the other hand, are equipped with flanges for bolted connection to pipes or equipment, providing a secure and leak-proof seal in high-pressure applications. Both types have their advantages depending on the specific requirements of your project.

Ball Valves:
PipingNow.com stocks ball valves for sale in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and Bronze with threaded, socketweld, 150# flanged, 300# flanged, sanitary, and solder connections.
Ball valves are mostly used in shutoff applications -- mainly in systems handling steam, water, air, oil and corrosive fluids. They also can handle dusty, dry fluids and slurries but should not be used with fibrous and abrasive materials to avoid damage.
The advantages of Ball Valves includes quick, 1/4 turn operation; positive shut-off; straight-through flow; many seating options for a variety of services; and easy to automate. Check out these ball valves for sale today!

Butterfly Valves:
Butterfly valves are quite simple but very versatile. Just like the ball valves, butterfly valves are quarter-turn operated valves that are mostly used in many industries and for a wide range of applications. Its quarter-turn element ensures quick operation of the valve. In an open condition, the butterfly disc allows flow around it aerodynamically. The butterfly valves are great for regulating flow and can handle slurries or fluids with suspended solids because they have no cavities within their bodies where solid particles can settle.
Butterfly valves are commonly used in water and air applications, as well as in pipes with large diameters. Check out these butterfly valves for sale today!
We proudly offer High Performance & Resilient Seated Butterfly valves manufactured by Apollo.
Gate Valves:
Gate valves are the most commonly used valves in industrial piping. They also sometimes are used in residential piping. Gate valves have a significant advantage simply because they cause less obstruction to substance flow and also lead to a very low pressure drop within the valve. They have a sliding metal gate that slides up or down to open or close the pipe’s passage, allowing flow or stopping it completely.
PipingNow proudly stocks Gate Valves from Bonney Forge, Sharpe, Apollo, and TCI.
Globe Valves:
Globe valves are commonly used in pipelines to control the flow of more viscous fluids such as oil. These globe valves for sale are suitable for both on/off operations as well as throttling - flow rate control. In this type of valve, flow rate control is determined using the difference in distance between the lift plug and the valve seat. It is important to note that because of their S-shaped passageway, globe valves lead to a higher pressure drop than many other types of valves.

Check Valves:
Check valves are valves designed to prevent the backflow in piping systems. They are activated by the pressure of the substance flowing in them. That is, when the fluid is flowing in a certain direction, its pressure forces the valve to open and allow flow through. But when the flow is reversed, the valve closes automatically. Closure is achieved either by back pressure, a spring, a check mechanism, or a combination of all these.
Quality swing type check valves are offered from Bonney Forge, Apollo, Titan, and Sharpe among others.
Apollo Ball Cone Check Valves
- Bodies: Stainless Steel, Bronze, or Brass
- Connections: Threaded or Solder
- Apollo Series: 61-100, 61-200, 61-500, 61-600, 61-700, 62-100, 62-500
IN-LINE CHECK VALVES
Series 61 and lead free (61LF) check valves feature bronze body construction and are available in sizes 1/4” to 3” for use with water, steam, oil, air and inert gases. Series 62 model in stainless steel with investment cast body are sized from 1/4” to 2” for use in more severe applications and corrosive environments. 61 and 62 Series check valves are available with either RPTFE ball cone or elastomer soft seats. They come equipped with 316 stainless steel springs. All wetted parts are bronze/brass (61 Series) or stainless steel (62 Series).
SPRING ASSISTED CLOSING
Apollo’s 61 and 62 Series feature short check travel and spring assisted closing. This ensures the valve closes quickly, before reversal of flow, helping to eliminate water hammer, its associated noise, and damage to piping and machinery.
LOW CRACKING PRESSURE
Apollo’s standard 61 and 62 Series checks operate at a low 1/2 psi cracking pressure. An extra-light-spring version of the valve is available as an option. A 5-pound or 10-pound cracking pressure spring is also available on models through 1”.
TIGHT...OR BUBBLE TIGHT
Patented Apollo Ball Cone® check valves (61-100, 61-200 and 62-100) feature a tight-sealing RPTFE ball-shaped check which seats against the conical interior face of the valve’s metal retainer. This simple design provides exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion. But, where even tighter sealing is required, choose the 61-500 or 61-600, featuring EPDM (elastomer) seat or 62-500, featuring a Fluorocarbon (Viton®) seat, for a bubble-tight seal. A Nitrile seat is optional.
CHECK VALVES EXTEND SYSTEM LIFE
In any liquid or gas system where reverse flow cannot be tolerated, a quick-responding check valve is a necessity. Check valves that close slowly permit flow reversal to occur in the line which can cause severe mechanical shock. As the valve finally seats, high peak pressure pulses and shock waves are generated on the downstream side due to the media being forced to a sudden stop. Upstream, the momentum is not restricted which can create voids in the flow, filling with air or vapor to cause additional, lower frequency shock waves. These shock waves added together are known as water hammer. It can cause extensive damage or failure to pipelines, gaskets, supports, hardware and equipment. The result can be expensive, troublesome; even dangerous.
With Apollo ball cone check valves, the potential for water hammer is greatly reduced since the check returns to its seat before flow velocity reaches zero. Apollo’s check valves set the standard for compact, economical protection against reverse flow. They provide reliable service in liquids or gases at various temperature and pressure combinations. Because of their simple design, they’re versatile and easy to maintain.
USE IN ANY POSITION
Horizontal, vertical or upside down; liquid, air and gases; Apollo’s in-line checks operate in any orientation. Where frequent opening and closing cycles occur, vertical orientation with upward flow is best. This saves time and money, eliminating the need to stock separate vertical and horizontal-operating valves. It also makes new or replacement installation less of a headache.
*Ball cone check valves are not recommended for use with reciprocating pumps and similar applications. Low flows may result in undesirable noise and premature valve failure.
