Parker 16-5BP Push-lok Hose Barb Tru-flate Coupler Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 16-5BP is a Push-Lok hose barb style Tru-Flate automotive pneumatic coupler designed for quick-connect air line applications in shop and field service environments. Built from steel with a zinc chromate finish, it features a 1/2 inch body diameter and accepts a 3/8 inch hose ID. The Tru-Flate profile is the standard automotive interchange used across a wide range of pneumatic tools and compressor outlets. This coupler is installed by HVAC technicians, auto mechanics, and general trade professionals who maintain compressed air systems for tool operation and equipment service.

This fitting is suited for use on pneumatic hose assemblies in automotive, light industrial, and mechanical service applications. The Push-Lok hose barb end eliminates the need for clamps on compatible Parker Push-Lok hose, allowing for fast field assembly. The 1/2 inch body size accommodates standard airflow demands of most pneumatic hand tools. It is appropriate for both shop compressor installations and portable air supply setups where Tru-Flate interchange compatibility is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, mechanics, or pneumatic system service professionals. Depressurize and bleed the air line completely before disconnecting or installing any coupler. The Push-Lok barb end requires a compatible Parker Push-Lok hose cut cleanly and pushed fully onto the barb to seat properly. Inspect the coupler body and locking mechanism for damage before placing the fitting back into service.
