Conbraco/Apollo: Precision-Engineered Plumbing Parts & Accessories

When a plumbing system demands reliable, long-lasting flow control components, the Conbraco/Apollo name carries significant weight. Conbraco/Apollo traces its roots to 1928, when two Detroit-based manufacturers of brass valves and fittings merged to form Consolidated Brass Company. Over the following decades, the brand built a reputation for engineering precision and domestic manufacturing quality that still defines it today. In 2005, the company brought all of its products under the Apollo® Valves brand, which had previously included plumbing and heating products, water gauges, pop safety and relief valves, marine fittings, and backflow prevention devices.

What Sets Apollo Apart in Plumbing Parts & Accessories

For professionals and DIYers shopping the Plumbing Parts & Accessories category, Apollo stands out for a few key reasons. First is their commitment to American manufacturing. Nearly all Apollo® valves are produced in ISO-registered, state-of-the-art foundries and manufacturing facilities in Pageland and Conway, S.C. This vertical integration means tighter quality control from raw material to finished product.

Second is their breadth of plumbing-specific solutions. The Apollo® Valves brand encompasses ball valves, butterfly valves, backflow prevention devices, water pressure reducing valves, mixing valves, safety relief valves, water gauges, strainers, vacuum breakers, valve actuators, and more. Within plumbing parts and accessories specifically, Apollo offers everything from repair kits and replacement components to complete valve assemblies designed for easy in-line serviceability.

Third is their dedication to potable water safety. Apollo Valves is committed to providing customers with Lead Free alternatives for valves intended for potable water service, and their lead-free bronze products comply with federal and state lead laws for potable water applications.
