Aalberts integrated piping systems has launched the Apollo LD151 Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, expanding its valve portfolio with a new model designed for industrial, commercial, mechanical, and data center applications.

The Apollo LD151 builds on the company's LD141 valve platform and features a 250 psi pressure rating for sizes up to 24 inches, increasing its suitability for high-pressure heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, commercial mechanical rooms, industrial processing facilities, chilled water systems, cooling tower loops, and other mission-critical cooling applications.

According to Aalberts, the valve incorporates a vulcanized seat design that bonds the seat directly to the valve body. The design is intended to improve sealing integrity, enhance performance in bidirectional dead-end service, and reduce the risk of seat movement, leakage, and premature wear, supporting longer service life and improved reliability.

The LD151 also introduces a streamlined SKU structure compared with the broader LD141 product range. The simplified offering is designed to help distributors, contractors, and engineers improve quoting efficiency, simplify submittal preparation, reduce inventory complexity, and support project planning.

The butterfly valve meets or exceeds several industry standards and certifications, including Manufacturers Standardization Society SP-67, American Petroleum Institute 609, American National Standards Institute/Fluid Controls Institute 70-2 Class VI, American Water Works Association C504 and C550, NSF/American National Standards Institute 61 and 372, and International Organization for Standardization 5211 top plate actuator interface requirements. According to the company, these certifications support use in potable water systems, commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning installations, industrial process applications, and automated valve systems.
