Parker XVVP500P-6 Ball Valve 3/8 Inch Fnpt Brass 600 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER XVVP500P-6 is a standard manual ball valve designed for shutoff and flow control in piping systems across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trade applications. Built with a brass body and brass trim, it accepts 3/8 inch female NPT connections on both ends. The valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 600 psi and operates across a temperature range of 0 degrees F to 400 degrees F. Reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is used for both the seat and seal materials, providing chemical resistance and a reliable low-friction shutoff. The padlock handle allows the valve to be locked in the open or closed position, adding a layer of access control in service environments.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where a compact, durable brass ball valve is required. Typical applications include gas lines, water supply lines, and refrigeration or HVAC piping where the 3/8 inch NPT port size is appropriate. The padlock handle feature makes it a practical choice for mechanical rooms or service panels where unauthorized valve operation must be restricted. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of valve.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off the upstream supply and depressurize the line fully before removing an existing valve or threading in this unit. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the male NPT fittings mating to this valve. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
