product line overview

Apollo PowerPress® fittings and valves are zinc-nickel coated for superior corrosion resistance and feature either an EPDM or HNBR sealing element. The system includes a unique Leak Before Press® feature, ensuring un-pressed fittings will visibly leak during low-pressure testing, and a patented visual control ring (VCR) that offers clear indication when a connection has been pressed.

key features

• leak before press® technology: ensures un-pressed fittings leak during low-pressure testing, providing immediate feedback.
• visual control ring (VCR): patented design with break-away tabs and color coding for easy identification of sealing element type.
• corrosion resistance: zinc-nickel coating provides excellent durability against corrosion.
• enhanced connection security: smart teeth on the stainless steel gripping ring ensure maximum connection integrity.
• increased cup depths: better seat and tighter seal for straighter pipe runs.
• protective shipping cap: color-coded to protect VCR and fitting ends during shipping.
