Parker LFPP4VFC6 Ball Valve 3/8 Inch Full Port Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP4VFC6 is a female connector bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 3/8-inch pipe systems requiring reliable shutoff and flow control. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, it handles working pressures up to 150 psi (10 bar) and connects via push-to-connect on one end and female NPT (FNPT) on the other. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve. A wedge-style handle provides positive open and closed indication. This valve is rated under NSF-51, NSF-61, FDA, and California Proposition 65 standards, making it appropriate for potable water and food-service fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water treatment, and food-service piping systems where push-to-connect installation speed and full-port flow capacity are required. The bi-directional design allows installation without concern for flow direction, simplifying rough-in. NSF-61 certification makes it acceptable for use in potable water supply lines. The push-to-connect end accepts 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing, while the FNPT end threads into standard female NPT fittings.

Compatibility

Designed for 3/8-inch pipe systems using push-to-connect by 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing and female NPT threaded connections in potable water, water treatment, and food-service fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the line fully before installing or servicing this valve. Ensure the push-to-connect tubing end is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted to full depth before pressurizing. Verify FNPT threads are clean and apply appropriate thread sealant compatible with potable water service before making up the threaded connection.
