Parker LFPP6VFC4 Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Full Port Mnpt Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP6VFC4 is a female connector bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch pipe applications requiring a full-port flow path. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this valve handles bi-directional flow and is operated by a wedge-style handle for straightforward on/off control. It connects via MNPT on one end and push-to-connect on the other, accepting 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing. Rated under FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 standards, it is suited for potable water and food-contact fluid systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in commercial and light industrial environments.

This valve is used in plumbing and fluid distribution systems where a compact, manually operated shutoff is needed at a 1/4 inch pipe connection point. The push-to-connect end simplifies installation in tight spaces or panel-mount configurations without requiring threaded fittings on both sides. Its NSF-61 listing makes it appropriate for potable water lines, while NSF-51 certification covers food equipment applications. It is commonly installed in water treatment equipment, beverage dispensing lines, ice machine supply runs, and similar light commercial or institutional plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• Bi-directional flow allows installation without regard to flow direction
• MNPT x push-to-connect end configuration for mixed-fitting installations
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in wet and chemical-contact environments
• EPDM seals provide durable performance in water and mild fluid service
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 listed for potable water and food equipment applications

Compatibility

Designed for 1/4 inch pipe systems using MNPT threaded connections and 3/8 inch outside diameter push-to-connect tubing. Suitable for potable water, beverage, and food equipment fluid circuits meeting FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the upstream water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or servicing the valve. Hand-tighten the MNPT connection first, then apply wrench torque carefully to avoid stressing the polypropylene body. Ensure push-to-connect tubing is cut cleanly and fully seated before returning the system to service.
