Parker H2C-E Pneumatic Hose Coupling 1/4 in Body

Product Description

The PARKER H2C-E is a pneumatic hose coupling connector designed for industrial compressed-air and pneumatic fluid-power systems. It features a 3/8-18 MNPT threaded connection and a 1/4-inch body diameter, with a maximum working pressure rating of 300 psi. The zinc chromate finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field environments. This connector is installed by industrial maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and pneumatic system specialists wherever quick, reliable air-line connections are required.

The H2C-E fits industrial interchange-style coupling systems, making it compatible with the broad installed base of industrial interchange pneumatic tooling and equipment. It is suited for use on compressor drop lines, pneumatic tool hookups, and general plant air distribution in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing environments. The threaded NPT connection allows integration into standard piping and hose assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/8-18 MNPT threaded connection for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• 1/4-inch body diameter rated to 300 psi maximum working pressure
• Industrial interchange coupling type for broad compatibility with shop and plant pneumatic tooling
• Zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Steel construction for durability under sustained pneumatic service
• Compact overall length of 1.81 inches with 0.69-inch hex for standard wrench installation

Compatibility

Designed as an industrial interchange-type pneumatic connector compatible with standard industrial interchange pneumatic coupling systems used with air-powered tools, hose assemblies, and compressed-air distribution lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pneumatic system technicians or pipefitters. Depressurize and lock out the air supply before servicing any coupling or hose fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to the MNPT threads before assembly, and tighten using a wrench on the hex flats. Do not overtighten or use pipe wrenches on the body, as this can damage the coupling seat and compromise the pressure seal.
