Conbraco Industries 50-GB5-01A Valve
The Conbraco 50-GB5-01A Valve is a heavy-duty 1-inch female NPT solution engineered specifically for high-capacity main burner applications. Built with a robust bronze 2-piece body (ASTM B584), this gas shutoff ball valve is designed to handle demanding fuel lines including natural gas, manufactured gases, and LP gas-air mixtures. Featuring a full port design, it ensures maximum flow efficiency with a significant 3,144,000 BTU/hr capacity, making it a reliable choice for large-scale commercial heating systems. This model is equipped with a versatile zinc tee handle and specialized 1/8" NPT dual pilot tapping, allowing for streamlined installation of pilot lines or pressure gauges without additional manifolding. With a blow-out-proof stem and RPTFE packing, this Apollo GB-50 series valve maintains a positive seal under pressure ratings of 1/2 PSI up to 5 PSIG. Its corrosion-resistant chrome-plated brass ball ensures smooth quarter-turn operation and long-term seat integrity in the field.
Key Benefits- High BTU Output: Supports up to 3,144,000 BTU/hr, ideal for commercial boilers and large industrial furnaces.
- Dual Pilot Taps: Integrated 1/8" NPT tappings simplify the addition of pilot lights or pressure monitoring equipment.
- Durable Construction: Features an ASTM B584 bronze body and chrome-plated brass ball for superior durability in corrosive environments.
- Full Port Flow: Minimizes pressure drop across the valve, ensuring the burner receives consistent gas volume.
- Standard Compliance: Meets UL 125 and UL 842 requirements for gas shutoff applications.
Is this valve compatible with Propane (LP) systems?
Yes, the 50-GB5-01A is rated for use with natural gas, LP gas, and LP gas-air mixtures.
What is the purpose of the dual 1/8" NPT side taps?
These taps are cast into the body to allow for the direct connection of pilot burner lines or for taking pressure readings without needing a separate tee fitting.
Can the handle be swapped for a standard lever?
While this specific model (01A) comes with a tee handle for compact spaces, the GB-50 series is compatible with reversible steel lever handles if required by the installation footprint.
