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

Product Description

The PARKER V409F-8-8 is a brass truck valve with a flare by male NPT (MNPTF) end connection, designed for use in refrigerant and fluid service lines on mobile and stationary equipment. The body is constructed from brass for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding field conditions. It features a round handle for manual operation and is rated for service from -30 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of temperature environments. The overall length is 3.28 inches and the valve is sized for 1/2 inch pipe. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration service professionals are the primary installers of this component.

This valve is commonly used in refrigeration systems, HVAC equipment, and mobile transport refrigeration applications where a reliable shutoff or service valve is needed at a flare-to-male-NPT transition point. The flare x MNPTF configuration makes it a practical choice for connecting copper flare tubing to threaded pipe or service port fittings. It is well suited for both residential and light commercial refrigeration service work, as well as truck and transport refrigeration units requiring a compact, serviceable valve.
