Parker PP4VMC6-MG Ball Valve 3/8 in Mnpt Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER PP4VMC6-MG is a male connector bi-directional manual ball valve designed for fluid control in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this valve handles bi-directional flow and delivers a full-port opening to minimize pressure drop across the connection. The 3/8 inch pipe size, MNPT x Push-To-Connect end configuration allows fast, tool-free tubing attachment on one side while threading securely to male NPT fittings on the other. A wedge-style handle gives clear open and closed positioning at a glance. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this valve where inline shutoff control and quick-connect convenience are both required.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water lines, compressed air distribution, and similar low-pressure fluid systems. The push-to-connect end accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing, making it a practical choice for equipment supply lines, refrigeration accessory circuits, and auxiliary water feeds where frequent service access is expected. The MNPT thread connection integrates directly with standard NPT pipe fittings without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Full-port ball design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Bi-directional flow — no required flow-direction orientation during installation
• MNPT x Push-To-Connect ends combine threaded and tool-free tubing attachment
• Polypropylene body offers corrosion resistance in wet service environments
• EPDM seals provide reliable performance with water and many common fluids
• Wedge handle gives clear visual indication of open or closed position

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing on the push-to-connect end and 3/8 inch male NPT pipe threads on the threaded end. Intended as an inline shutoff valve for standard NPT-piped systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the line before installing or servicing this valve. Ensure the push-to-connect tubing end is fully seated and the tubing is cut cleanly and squarely before insertion. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT connection per IPC or local code requirements.
