Parker PP4VFE4-MG Female Elbow Ball Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PP4VFE4-MG is a female elbow bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch pipe connections in fluid control applications. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this full-port valve delivers unrestricted flow through a wedge-style handle for quick quarter-turn shutoff. The MNPT x push-to-connect end configuration allows for fast, tool-free tube insertion on one end and threaded engagement on the other. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration or water treatment installers will find this valve well suited to tight-space routing where an elbow orientation simplifies layout and reduces the need for additional fittings.

This valve is a practical fit for residential and light commercial water lines, refrigeration supply systems, and fluid distribution panels where 1/4 inch tubing is standard. The bi-directional design allows flow in either direction without reconfiguring the installation. The push-to-connect end accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing directly, making it effective in low-pressure service lines, ice maker supply, RO system plumbing, and similar applications where quick connections and compact routing are priorities.

Key Features

• Full-port ball valve design minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• MNPT x push-to-connect ends combine threaded and tool-free tube connections in a single fitting
• Bi-directional flow — no orientation requirement during installation
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in water and mild chemical service
• EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff across a range of fluid media compatible with EPDM
• Elbow body geometry reduces the need for separate elbow fittings in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 1/4 inch OD tubing systems using MNPT threaded ports, compatible with push-to-connect plumbing in water treatment, refrigeration, and HVAC condensate or supply line configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing fitting or installing this valve. Ensure the MNPT threads are wrapped with thread seal tape and tightened to avoid leaks before inserting tubing into the push-to-connect end. Verify that tubing is cut cleanly and inserted fully into the push-to-connect fitting to ensure a proper seal before restoring system pressure.
