Parker 16-6BP Push-lok Tru-flate Pneumatic Coupler 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 16-6BP is a Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for automotive and industrial pneumatic hose assemblies. It features a Tru-Flate style body rated for standard shop-air and pneumatic tool applications. The coupler body measures 1/2 inch in diameter and accepts 1/2 inch hose ID, making it a direct-fit connection point for mid-size pneumatic lines. Constructed from steel with a zinc chromate finish, the 16-6BP resists corrosion in typical shop environments. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades rely on this style of coupler for compressed-air distribution, pneumatic controls, and service tool hookups.

This coupler suits residential and commercial shop environments where Tru-Flate interchange style fittings are the shop standard. It threads onto Push-Lok hose assemblies without additional clamps, relying on the hose barb geometry to seat and retain the hose under normal pneumatic working pressures. It is commonly installed on air compressor whips, blow-gun lines, and pneumatic control hose assemblies. A single unit is packaged per order quantity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or qualified maintenance mechanic working on compressed-air systems. Depressurize and bleed the air line completely before disconnecting or installing any coupler. Push-Lok hose must be cut cleanly and squarely for a proper barb seat. Verify working pressure ratings of the full hose assembly before returning the system to service.
