Parker PPB4VUC4-MG Bi-directional Ball Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PPB4VUC4-MG is a bi-directional manual ball valve designed for push-to-connect tubing systems. Built with a polypropylene body and lever handle, this compact valve allows technicians to open or shut off flow in either direction without concern for orientation. It accepts 1/4-inch outside diameter tubing on both ends and is well suited for use in refrigeration, HVAC, or light fluid-handling applications where quick, tool-free line connections are required. Its push-to-connect fittings on both ports allow for fast installation and removal in tight spaces.

This valve is a practical choice for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, and fluid control assemblies that use 1/4-inch OD push-to-connect tubing. It is commonly installed in line sets, condensate management systems, and equipment service ports where a manual shutoff with bi-directional capability is needed. Service technicians and installers will find the lever handle straightforward to operate during commissioning and routine maintenance.
