Conbraco Industries 50-GB6-01A Ball Valve
The Conbraco Industries 50-GB6-01A Ball Valve is a rugged, 1 1/4" FNPT bronze gas shutoff valve engineered specifically for high-capacity main burner applications. Built with a heavy-duty ASTM B584 bronze body and a 2-piece design, this professional-grade valve is rated for 1/2 PSI gas pressure and supports a substantial flow capacity of up to 3,250,000 BTU/hr. It serves as a direct, high-efficiency replacement for discontinued 50-GB6-01 and 50-503-02 units, providing contractors with a reliable upgrade path for existing gas lines. The integrated 1/8" NPT dual pilot tapping allows for the seamless connection of pilot lines or pressure gauges without additional manifolding. Designed for compatibility with natural gas, LP gas, and propane-air mixtures, this Apollo 50-GB series valve features a chrome-plated ball and a zinc tee handle for smooth operation and positive shutoff in demanding commercial and industrial boiler environments.
