Parker LFPP4VME6 Male Elbow Ball Valve 3/8 in Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP4VME6 is a male elbow bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 3/8-inch pipe connections using an MNPT x Push-To-Connect end configuration. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this full-port valve delivers a maximum working pressure of 150 psi (10 bar) and is rated for use in potable water and food-service adjacent applications. The wedge-style handle allows quick quarter-turn shutoff and is bi-directional, meaning flow can enter from either port. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and water treatment installers use this valve where a compact elbow configuration saves space at connection points.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water filtration, and refrigeration water-supply lines where a 3/8-inch MNPT x Push-To-Connect transition is required. The push-to-connect end accepts 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing, making it compatible with RO systems, ice makers, and similar small-bore water distribution setups. It meets NSF-51 and NSF-61 certification requirements, making it appropriate for potable water contact applications and food-equipment installations. California Proposition 65 compliance is also noted.

Key Features

• Full-port ball valve design minimizes flow restriction through the valve body
• Bi-directional operation allows flow from either inlet or outlet port
• MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connections for tool-free tubing attachment on one end
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in water and mild chemical service
• EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff and broad temperature compatibility
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified for potable water and food-equipment contact

Compatibility

Designed for 3/8-inch MNPT threaded pipe connections paired with 1/4-inch outside diameter push-to-connect tubing. Suitable for potable water systems, RO filtration assemblies, and similar small-bore plumbing applications where NSF-certified components are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing the valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before making up the threaded connection; do not overtighten the plastic body. Verify that tubing inserted into the push-to-connect port is cut cleanly and fully seated before restoring pressure.
