About Conbraco/Apollo Valves

For more than a century, Conbraco/Apollo has been one of North America's most trusted names in flow control technology. Headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, the brand operates under the Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems (IPS) Americas umbrella — a global engineering group dedicated to advancing the distribution and control of liquids and gases across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Apollo's reputation is built on a relentless commitment to precision manufacturing, product durability, and engineering innovation. Whether the application is a high-pressure industrial pipeline or a residential plumbing retrofit, Apollo designs products to meet demanding performance and safety standards. The brand's catalog spans a wide spectrum of flow control solutions, making it a go-to source for contractors, engineers, and facilities managers alike.

A Legacy of Flow Control Engineering

Conbraco was founded in the early 20th century and grew steadily by focusing on quality valve manufacturing at a time when dependable flow control was becoming critical to modern infrastructure. Over the decades, the Apollo brand became synonymous with reliable shut-off and control valves used in waterworks, HVAC, fire protection, and general plumbing systems. Today, as part of the Aalberts IPS family, the brand continues to push the boundaries of integrated piping technology.

Apollo's product development philosophy centers on the idea that every valve and fitting in a system must work as part of a seamlessly integrated whole — not just as an isolated component. This systems-level thinking is evident across every product category they serve.

Core Product Lines

Apollo's strongest suit is its comprehensive valve lineup. Their ball valves are among the most widely specified in the industry, engineered for tight shut-off performance and long service life across a broad range of temperatures and pressures. From compact quarter-turn designs for residential plumbing to full-port, heavy-duty configurations for industrial pipelines, Apollo ball valves are built to handle demanding service conditions.

Equally important to any plumbing or fluid system are reliable shut-off valves. Apollo's shut-off valve offerings cover a variety of configurations — including gate, globe, and specialty designs — giving installers the flexibility to select the right solution for any isolation or flow-control need. These valves are commonly found in commercial buildings, mechanical rooms, and utility systems where dependable shut-off is non-negotiable.

Beyond core valves, Apollo provides an extensive selection of plumbing parts and accessories designed to complement their valve products and complete any piping system. From fittings and adapters to backflow preventers and pressure-relief solutions, this portfolio reflects Apollo's commitment to being a full-service piping systems provider rather than a single-product manufacturer.

Rounding out the lineup are Y & diverter valves, which are essential for applications requiring flow to be split, redirected, or managed across multiple outlet paths. Apollo's diverter solutions maintain the same quality standards found across the rest of their valve family, making system integration straightforward for contractors and engineers.
