INTRODUCTION

DESIGN FEATURES
LC149 SERIES

• Available in lug body only.

• Flange holes comply with ANSI Class 125/150 dimensions.

• Cast-in top plate with ISO-5211 mounting dimensions provides for direct-mounting of

Apollo actuators and manual operators.

• All body dimensions were designed to comply with MSS SP-67 and API 609.

• Through-shaft design with pinned connection from stem to disc. Disc-to-seat interface

provides bubble-tight shut-off with reduced torque and extended service life.

• Equipped with a blowout-proof, phenolic-backed EPDM (food grade) cartridge seat.

• Factory tested to 110% of full rated pressure in both directions before shipping.

FLANGE AND PIPE COMPATIBILITY

APOLLO Butterfly Valves are designed to fit between the following piping flanges:

• ANSI 125 Cast iron flanges (all sizes)

• ANSI 150 Steel flanges, schedule 40 (all sizes)

• ANSI 150 Steel flanges, schedule 80 (all sizes)

Note: When installing valves in schedule 80 piping, make sure the valve is properly

centered between the pipe flanges to prevent disc edge damage since the
clearance between the disc O.D. and the pipe I.D. is reduced. If there is a
compatibility question, compare the minimum pipe I.D. with the disc chord

OPERATING PRESSURES
LC149 SERIES:

• 2”-12” (50mm-300mm) – 200 psig (13.78 bar)

PRODUCT STORAGE

• The valves should be stored with the disc in the partially open position.

• The valves should be stored indoors in a clean, dry, well-ventilated place away from

• The valves should be stored on a rack or pallet off the floor and arranged to prevent

• Keep valves out of direct sunlight and in a cool location to prolong elastomer life.

• Valves should be protected to prevent damage to the flange faces, disc sealing edge and

PRODUCT MARKING

All APOLLO Butterfly Valves are equipped with an identification tag attached to the valve
neck (Figure 1). This tag provides the model number, part number, size, max pressure
rating, and date of manufacture.
