Apollo® 36ELF Series Pressure Reducing Valve – Engineered for Reliable System Pressure Control
The Apollo® 36ELF Series Pressure Reducing Valve is built for dependable downstream pressure regulation in potable water systems. Designed to automatically control and reduce high inlet pressures, this valve protects plumbing infrastructure from stress and extends the life of fixtures and equipment. Ideal for residential, commercial, or light industrial use, it delivers consistent performance in varying operating conditions.
Constructed with a lead-free, dezincification-resistant bronze body and a stainless steel adjustment screw, the 36ELF Series ensures corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. The unit features an internal balanced piston assembly and serviceable cartridge design, simplifying both installation and routine maintenance.
Professional-Grade Features
Pressure Regulation Range: Adjustable from 15–75 PSI, enabling precise control across standard system pressures.
Balanced Piston Assembly: Maintains outlet pressure stability, even under fluctuating inlet conditions.
Dezincification-Resistant Bronze Body: Offers enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive water environments.
Cartridge-Style Design: Enables in-line servicing without valve removal, reducing downtime and labor.
Lead-Free Certified: Complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for use in potable water applications.
EPDM Elastomers: Durable soft goods designed to withstand water quality variations and temperature fluctuations.
The 36ELF is suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications. For optimal performance, it should be installed in the horizontal position unless otherwise approved. Isolation valves and unions are recommended for future servicing. Pressure should be adjusted using the top-mounted stainless steel screw. Professional installation is advised to ensure code compliance and accurate downstream pressure settings.
Advantages on the Jobsite
Tool-Free Maintenance: Replaceable internal cartridge simplifies service without removing the valve from the line.
Robust Materials: Internal and external components are selected for long-term performance in chlorinated systems.
Flexible Use: Commonly installed on residential water services, irrigation systems, and commercial branch lines.
