Product Description

The PARKER V405P-6-8 is a brass truck valve with female NPT by male NPT end connections, designed for fluid control in mobile and stationary piping systems. It features a round handle for quick manual operation and is rated for working temperatures from -30 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The valve is built from brass for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding service environments. It fits a 3/8 inch by 1/2 inch pipe configuration and has an overall length of 2.96 inches. Plumbers, fleet mechanics, and industrial piping technicians are the typical installers of this valve type.

This valve is suited for truck body plumbing, compressed air lines, fluid transfer systems, and light industrial piping applications. Its brass construction makes it a reliable choice for installations where corrosion resistance and a broad working temperature range are required. The compact overall length of 2.96 inches allows for installation in tight-clearance plumbing runs found in mobile equipment and service trucks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing the existing valve or installing this unit. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to NPT threads before assembly; do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify that the operating temperature and media are within the rated limits before returning the system to service.
