Parker LFPP6VFE6 Female Elbow Ball Valve 3/8 in Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP6VFE6 is a bi-directional manual ball valve in a female elbow configuration, designed for 3/8-inch pipe applications. It features a full-port design with push-to-connect and female NPT (FNPT) end connections, allowing inline shutoff or directional control with minimal flow restriction. The polypropylene body and EPDM seals make it suitable for potable water and food-contact plumbing systems. Rated at 150 psi working pressure, it is operated by a wedge-style handle for positive open/close indication. NSF-51 and NSF-61 certification confirms compliance with material safety and water quality standards. Licensed plumbing professionals and commercial water system technicians are the primary installers.

This valve is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a compact elbow-style shutoff is needed at a 3/8-inch connection point. The push-to-connect inlet simplifies installation in tight spaces or retrofit applications, while the FNPT outlet threads directly into standard pipe fittings. Its polypropylene construction suits cold and ambient-temperature water supply lines, filtration systems, ice maker lines, and similar low-pressure water distribution applications. The FDA and NSF certifications make it appropriate for potable water and food-service equipment plumbing.

Key Features

• Bi-directional full-port ball valve with no flow-direction restriction
• Push-to-connect x FNPT ends for fast, tool-reduced installation
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in potable water service
• EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff across the rated pressure range
• Wedge handle gives clear open/closed visual indication
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified; meets California Proposition 65 requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 3/8-inch push-to-connect and FNPT plumbing connections in potable water, filtration, and food-service equipment systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. The push-to-connect end requires that tubing be cut square and fully inserted to the depth mark for a leak-free connection. Do not exceed the 150 psi rated working pressure, and verify temperature compatibility of polypropylene and EPDM materials with the intended fluid before installation.
