Parker PP6VME4-MG Ball Valve 1/4 Inch Mnpt Push-to-connect

Product Description

The PARKER PP6VME4-MG is a male elbow bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 1/4-inch pipe connections using an MNPT x Push-To-Connect end configuration. Built with a polypropylene body and EPDM seals, this valve handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi (10 bar) and is rated for temperatures starting at 35 degrees F. The wedge-style handle allows for straightforward manual operation, and the full-port design maintains maximum flow through the valve body. It is well suited for potable water and food-contact fluid systems where NSF and FDA compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

This valve is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, water treatment, and hydronic systems where a compact elbow-style shutoff is needed at a 1/4-inch pipe connection point. The push-to-connect end simplifies field installation without additional fittings on the tube side. With a 3/8-inch outside diameter tube connection paired with a 1/4-inch MNPT thread, it bridges common tubing-to-threaded-pipe transitions efficiently. Its bi-directional design allows installation without concern for flow direction, reducing the chance of installation error in the field.

Key Features

• Full-port ball valve maintains unrestricted flow through the valve body
• MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connection simplifies tubing hookup without extra fittings
• Polypropylene body offers corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid systems
• EPDM seals rated for service starting at 35 degrees F
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi (10 bar)
• FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 certified for potable water and food-contact applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 1/4-inch MNPT threaded pipe systems using 3/8-inch OD push-to-connect tubing in plumbing, water treatment, and compatible fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Hand-tighten the MNPT threaded connection first, then apply a wrench for a snug fit — do not overtighten polypropylene fittings. Confirm push-to-connect tubing is cut cleanly and fully seated before restoring system pressure.
