Parker LFPP6VME8 Male Elbow Ball Valve 1/2 in Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP6VME8 is a male elbow, bi-directional, full-port manual ball valve designed for 1/2-inch pipe connections. It features an MNPT x Push-To-Connect end configuration, making it suitable for quick-connect plumbing assemblies without sacrificing flow capacity. The polypropylene body keeps the valve lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff across a broad range of compatible fluid media. Rated to 150 psi and 10 bar maximum working pressure, this valve is appropriate for potable water, irrigation, and light-duty fluid-control applications. A wedge-style handle allows for positive open/closed indication. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a compact elbow-style shutoff is needed at a 1/2-inch line. The push-to-connect outlet simplifies installation in tight spaces or retrofit scenarios where soldering or threaded fittings on both ends are impractical. The full-port design maintains full line flow with minimal pressure drop, which is important in systems where flow rate is a design factor. Compatible tube outside diameter at the push-to-connect end is 3/8 inch.

Key Features

• MNPT x Push-To-Connect ends allow tool-free connection on the push-fit side
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in potable water and irrigation service
• EPDM seals rated for broad fluid compatibility
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi (10 bar)
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified for use in potable water systems; meets California Prop 65 and FDA standards

Compatibility

Designed for 1/2-inch MNPT male pipe connections with a 3/8-inch outside-diameter push-to-connect tube. Suited for potable water and fluid-control systems requiring NSF-61-listed components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant tape to the MNPT threads per standard practice; do not over-tighten, as polypropylene bodies can crack under excessive torque. Confirm the push-to-connect tube is fully seated and the locking ring is engaged before restoring pressure.
