Parker PP6VUC4-MG Ball Valve 3/8 X 1/4 in Full Port Ptc

Product Description

The PARKER PP6VUC4-MG is a bi-directional manual ball valve with a union connector body designed for push-to-connect tube fittings. It accepts 3/8-inch outside diameter inlet and 1/4-inch outside diameter outlet tubing and delivers a full-port flow path with a wedge-style handle for quick quarter-turn shutoff. The polypropylene body and EPDM seals make it suitable for water-based fluid handling applications where corrosion resistance and food-safety compliance matter. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, this valve suits plumbing pros, HVAC technicians, and filtration system installers who need reliable inline shutoff without threading or soldering.

This valve is intended for residential and light commercial fluid-handling systems, including water filtration lines, drinking water distribution, and similar low-pressure tubing runs. The push-to-connect end connections on both sides allow fast, tool-free tube insertion, making it practical in tight equipment cabinets and under-sink filter assemblies. Its NSF-51 and NSF-61 certifications confirm it is evaluated for contact with potable water and food-zone applications. Minimum working temperature is 35 degrees F. Installers working with refrigerant-rated or high-temperature steam systems should verify this valve is outside its intended scope.

Key Features

• Full-port flow path minimizes pressure drop across the valve
• Push-to-connect x push-to-connect ends on both sides for tool-free tube insertion
• Polypropylene body resists corrosion in water and mild chemical service
• EPDM seals rated for potable water and food-contact environments
• Wedge handle provides clear open/closed indication with a quarter-turn
• NSF-51 and NSF-61 certified; FDA-referenced standards compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline shutoff valve for push-to-connect tubing systems in potable water, water filtration, and light-duty fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician. Shut off the upstream water supply and relieve system pressure before inserting or removing tube connections. Confirm tube outside diameter matches valve port sizing before seating the push-to-connect fittings. Local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements, may govern shutoff valve placement and accessibility on potable water lines.
