Parker LFPP4VMC6 Ball Valve 3/8 in Mnpt Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP4VMC6 is a full-port, bi-directional manual ball valve designed for inline shutoff and flow control in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, it handles working pressures up to 150 psi (10 bar) and connects via a 3/8 inch male NPT thread on one end and a 1/4 inch outside diameter push-to-connect fitting on the other. The wedge-style handle provides a clear open-and-closed indication. NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified construction makes it appropriate for potable water and food-equipment applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a compact inline shutoff is needed at a transition between threaded pipe and push-to-connect tubing. Typical applications include under-sink water filtration systems, reverse osmosis installations, ice maker supply lines, and similar low-pressure potable water circuits. The full-port ball design minimizes flow restriction across the valve body, which matters in low-flow filtration setups. California Prop 65 and FDA compliance requirements are already addressed by the valve certification package.

Key Features

• Full-port ball design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• Bi-directional flow — no preferred inlet or outlet orientation required
• MNPT x push-to-connect end configuration simplifies threaded-to-tube transitions
• Polypropylene body with EPDM seals rated for potable water service
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified; also meets California Prop 65 and FDA requirements
• 150 psi (10 bar) maximum working pressure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement manual shutoff valve for push-to-connect plumbing assemblies using 1/4 inch OD tubing with a 3/8 inch MNPT threaded port connection, typical of residential water filtration and purification systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before making the threaded connection; do not overtighten the polypropylene body. Confirm push-to-connect tubing is cut squarely and fully seated before restoring system pressure.
