Parker PP4VUC4-MG Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Full Port Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER PP4VUC4-MG is a union connector bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch pipe and tube systems. It features a full port design with push-to-connect ends on both sides, allowing for quick, tool-free installation and removal. The wedge handle enables precise manual shutoff in either flow direction. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this valve is rated for up to 150 psi working pressure and is certified to FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 standards, making it well suited for potable water and food-grade fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers and refrigeration or water treatment technicians are the typical installers.

This valve is commonly installed in residential and light commercial water filtration systems, ice makers, beverage equipment, and other plumbing applications requiring a compact, low-profile shutoff with push-to-connect convenience. The bi-directional flow design eliminates the need to track flow direction during installation, reducing callbacks and installation errors. Its union connector configuration allows the valve body to be removed from the line without disturbing the connected tubing.

Key Features

• Full port ball valve allows unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop
• Bi-directional design works in either flow orientation
• Push-to-connect ends on both sides for tool-free tube insertion and removal
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in water and light chemical service
• EPDM seals provide flexible, durable performance across a wide temperature range
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified for use in potable water and food-contact applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing in push-to-connect plumbing systems. Suitable for potable water, filtration, and food service fluid lines that require NSF-51 and NSF-61 compliant components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or water treatment technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing this valve. Ensure tubing ends are cleanly cut and deburred before insertion into the push-to-connect fittings to maintain a leak-free seal. Verify that system operating temperature stays within the rated range and that the tubing outside diameter is confirmed at 1/4 inch before installation.
