Parker LFPP4VFE6 Female Elbow Ball Valve 3/8 in Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP4VFE6 is a female elbow bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 3/8-inch pipe connections. It features a full-port design with MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connections, allowing for straightforward installation without the need for additional fittings at the push-to-connect end. The body is constructed from polypropylene with EPDM seals, making it well suited for water and fluid handling applications where chemical compatibility and sanitary standards matter. This valve is compatible with 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing on the push-to-connect side. It is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians in systems requiring reliable manual shutoff at an elbow transition point.

This valve is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, potable water distribution, filtration systems, and fluid handling installations where an inline directional change with manual shutoff is required. The push-to-connect end simplifies service and reduces installation time in tight spaces. It meets FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 standards, confirming suitability for potable water contact applications. The wedge-style handle provides positive open and closed indication for quick visual confirmation of valve state.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before installation or service. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT connection only — do not apply sealant to the push-to-connect fitting. Confirm the push-to-connect tubing is cut squarely and fully seated before restoring system pressure.
