Parker PP4VUC6-MG Ball Valve Full Port 1/4 X 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER PP4VUC6-MG is a union connector bi-directional manual ball valve designed for full-port flow control in plumbing and fluid handling systems. The polypropylene body accepts push-to-connect fittings on both ends, with tube outside diameters of 1/4 x 3/8 inches, making connection and disconnection straightforward without additional tooling. A wedge handle provides positive open and close indication. Rated at 150 psi working pressure and certified to NSF-51 and NSF-61 standards, this valve is suited for potable water and food-contact fluid applications. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial water treatment systems, filtration assemblies, and similar fluid handling installations where a serviceable shutoff with union-style disconnection is required. The bi-directional design allows flow in either direction, reducing installation errors. The push-to-connect ends make it compatible with standard tubing used in reverse osmosis, water filtration, and related systems. The full-port configuration minimizes pressure drop across the valve body.

Key Features

• Full-port ball valve design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Bi-directional flow accepts installation in either orientation
• Push-to-connect x push-to-connect ends for tool-free tubing connection
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff across the rated temperature range
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified for potable water and food-contact fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit valve for push-to-connect plumbing assemblies using 1/4 x 3/8 inch tube outside diameter connections, such as those found in water filtration and reverse osmosis systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in compliance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Confirm tubing is fully seated in the push-to-connect fittings and the valve is in the closed position before restoring pressure. Verify minimum operating temperature does not drop below 35 degrees F, as lower temperatures are outside the rated range of this valve.
