Parker V409F-8-6 Brass Truck Valve Flare X Mnptf

Product Description

The PARKER V409F-8-6 is a brass truck valve configured with a flare inlet and male NPT (MNPTF) outlet end connection. Truck valves of this type are used to control refrigerant or fluid flow in mobile and stationary systems where a compact, durable shutoff is required. The body is machined from brass for corrosion resistance and long service life. A round handle provides positive manual control. The valve is rated for a working temperature range of -30 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a broad range of service conditions. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers for this type of fitting valve.

This valve is applied in refrigeration and HVAC service work where a flare-to-MNPTF connection is needed. The 1/2 x 3/8 inch pipe sizing fits common service port and line configurations found in light commercial and mobile refrigeration equipment. It is also used in truck refrigeration systems and portable cooling units where a reliable manual shutoff at a flare junction is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician. Recover all refrigerant and depressurize the system before removing or installing any valve. Ensure flare fittings are properly flared and free of burrs before making connections to avoid leaks. Verify all connections are leak-tested after installation per applicable service procedures.
