Parker PP4VFE6-MG Female Elbow Ball Valve 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PP4VFE6-MG is a female elbow, bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 3/8 inch pipe applications. It features a full-port design with MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connections, allowing straightforward inline installation without specialized tooling. The body is molded from polypropylene with EPDM seals, making it well suited for water and fluid handling systems where corrosion resistance and food-safety compliance matter. Rated to 150 psi and 10 bar, this valve handles typical low-pressure service in plumbing, water treatment, and light commercial fluid distribution. A wedge-style handle provides a positive open/close feel. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters are the primary installers.

This valve fits residential and light commercial plumbing systems, water treatment lines, and fluid distribution assemblies where a compact elbow-style shutoff is needed at a 3/8 inch pipe connection. The MNPT x Push-To-Connect configuration makes it a practical choice for polyethylene tubing runs and quick-connect plumbing layouts. Minimum working temperature is 35 degrees F, making it appropriate for indoor conditioned spaces and tempered water systems. The push-to-connect port accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing.

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before making or breaking any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT connection per local code; do not over-tighten the threaded port into the mating fitting. Verify push-to-connect tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and fully seated before restoring pressure.
