Parker PP6VEU4-MG Elbow Union Ball Valve 3/8x1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PP6VEU4-MG is a bi-directional, full port, elbow union manual ball valve designed for push-to-connect tubing systems. It accepts 3/8-inch outside diameter tubing on one end and 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing on the other, allowing a directional change in the line while maintaining full flow capacity. The polypropylene body and EPDM seals make it suited to water and fluid handling applications in HVAC, refrigeration support lines, and light plumbing. Operation is handled by a wedge-style handle for straightforward manual shutoff. Licensed plumbers and HVAC service technicians are the primary installers of this type of valve.

This valve is appropriate for residential and light commercial fluid systems where an elbow fitting and isolation capability are needed at a single point. The push-to-connect ends eliminate the need for soldering, threading, or compression fittings at the connection, speeding up installation on compatible tubing runs. It is commonly installed in tight spaces where a standard inline valve would require additional elbow fittings to redirect flow.

Key Features

• Full port ball valve design maintains maximum flow rate through the valve body
• Bi-directional flow allows installation without regard to flow direction
• Push-to-connect ends on both ports for tool-free tube insertion
• Polypropylene body offers chemical resistance suitable for water-based fluid systems
• EPDM seals provide reliable shutoff and compatibility with water and mild chemical service
• Elbow union configuration combines a 90-degree direction change and union disconnect in one fitting

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch outside diameter push-to-connect compatible tubing in fluid handling systems. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before connecting or disconnecting push-to-connect fittings. Confirm tubing outside diameter matches the valve ports before insertion, and ensure tubing ends are cut clean and square. Do not overtighten or apply rotational force to the valve body during tube insertion, as the polypropylene construction is not designed for mechanical stress loading.
