<h3>About Conbraco / Apollo Valves</h3><p><strong>Conbraco Industries</strong> — the manufacturer behind the legendary <strong>Apollo&reg; Valves</strong> brand — has roots stretching back to 1928, when two Detroit-based brass valve and fittings manufacturers merged to form the Consolidated Brass Company. Nearly a century later, the brand is recognized worldwide as a benchmark for quality, innovation, and dependability in flow control technology.</p><p>In 1968, a pivotal moment in valve engineering history arrived when the company introduced the Apollo&reg; Series 70 ball valve to the commercial market. What began as a revolutionary product quickly became the most specified ball valve in the world, earning the trust of engineers, contractors, and facility managers across virtually every industry. Line extensions over the decades brought new materials, new sizes, and new applications — solidifying Apollo&reg; as a household name in flow control.</p><p>By 2005, the company unified its ever-expanding catalog under the Apollo&reg; Valves brand. Products that had previously carried the Conbraco name — including <a href="/7303-conbracoapollo-plumbing-parts-accessories-200786">plumbing parts and accessories</a>, water gauges, safety relief valves, marine fittings, and backflow prevention devices — joined the Apollo family alongside ball valves, actuators, and mixing valves. In 2010, Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems acquired Conbraco, providing global engineering resources while keeping manufacturing rooted in South Carolina.</p><p>Today, Apollo&reg; Valves are designed, engineered, cast, machined, assembled, and tested in ISO-registered, state-of-the-art facilities. The vertically integrated manufacturing process — including two in-house foundries — gives Apollo precise control over quality at every stage. Materials range from cast bronze and forged brass to stainless steel, carbon steel, and exotic alloys. <a href="/7303-conbracoapollo-ball-valves-200130">Ball valves</a>, butterfly valves, backflow preventers, safety relief valves, mixing valves, check valves, strainers, and <a href="/7303-conbracoapollo-pipe-fitting-17358">pipe fittings</a> are all part of a comprehensive lineup built to perform in residential plumbing, commercial HVAC, industrial fluid handling, oil and gas, petrochemical, and marine environments.</p><p>Apollo&reg; continues to push the boundaries of what a valve manufacturer can deliver. Whether you need a precision <a href="/201213-y-diverter-valves-conbracoapollo-7303">diverter valve</a> for a hydronic heating system, a reliable <a href="/7303-conbracoapollo-fuel-valves-200447">fuel valve</a> for an industrial application, or a full suite of plumbing solutions for a large-scale construction project, Conbraco / Apollo brings decades of field-proven engineering expertise to every product.</p><h3>Why Choose Conbraco / Apollo?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Nearly 100 years of innovation</strong> — a legacy of product development dating to 1928</li><li><strong>American-made quality</strong> — manufactured in ISO-certified facilities in South Carolina</li><li><strong>Vertically integrated production</strong> — in-house foundries ensure consistent material and quality control</li><li><strong>Broad product range</strong> — from residential plumbing to heavy industrial flow control</li><li><strong>Comprehensive warranty coverage</strong> — backed by factory testing on every valve</li><li><strong>Compliance-ready</strong> — products meet ASME, UL, CSA, AWWA, ASSE, IAPMO, and lead-free standards</li></ul>
