Parker LFPP6VMC6 Manual Ball Valve 3/8 Inch Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP6VMC6 is a bi-directional manual ball valve with a male connector configuration designed for 3/8 inch pipe systems. It features a full port design with MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connections and a wedge-style handle for positive shutoff in both flow directions. The body is constructed from polypropylene with EPDM seals, supporting a maximum working pressure of 150 psi (10 bar). This valve is suited for potable water and fluid handling systems where NSF-51 and NSF-61 certification is required. Licensed plumbers and qualified installers typically specify this valve in plumbing and water distribution applications.

This valve is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where push-to-connect convenience and threaded male connections are needed at the same fitting. The full port design minimizes flow restriction, making it suitable for water supply lines, filtration systems, and point-of-use plumbing runs. The EPDM seals and polypropylene body make it appropriate for cold and warm potable water service. Compliance with California Prop 65, FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 standards supports its use in food service and drinking water installations.

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 installation or removal. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT male threads; do not overtighten, as the polypropylene body can crack under excessive torque. Confirm the push-to-connect tube end is cut cleanly and fully seated before pressurizing the system.
