Parker XV501P-6 Ball Valve 3/8 in Mnpt X Fnpt Brass 600 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER XV501P-6 is a standard manual ball valve designed for inline shutoff and flow control in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The valve features a 3/8 inch pipe size with male NPT inlet and female NPT outlet connections, a full brass body and trim, and a lever handle for fast quarter-turn operation. Seat and seal materials are reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), providing reliable chemical resistance and a low-friction seating surface. Maximum working pressure is rated at 600 psi. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This ball valve is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, reliable manual shutoff is required on 3/8 inch pipe lines. Typical install scenarios include water supply branches, refrigerant or gas service isolation points, and pneumatic or hydraulic circuits where an MNPT x FNPT inline valve is the specified connection type. The lever handle allows for quick visual confirmation of open or closed position, making it practical in mechanical rooms, utility chases, and equipment service ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing this valve. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male NPT threads per standard practice; do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to thread damage. Confirm pressure rating is appropriate for the specific fluid and system operating conditions before placing the valve in service.
