Parker PC204-BP Push-lok Hose Barb Straight Coupler

Product Description

The PARKER PC204-BP is a Push-Lok hose barb straight coupler designed for low-pressure hydraulic and coolant line applications. Built from brass with a straight body profile, it accepts 0.25 inch inside diameter hose and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. The threaded connection type and non-threaded shaft make it straightforward to install without special tooling in most shop and industrial settings. This fitting is part of the Moldmate series and is sized at 1/4 inch body diameter. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with coolant or fluid transfer systems will find this coupler a reliable, direct-fit component.

The PC204-BP is intended for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, making it well suited for industrial maintenance environments where reliable fluid connections are required. Its brass construction handles a wide service temperature range, from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, giving it useful flexibility across both chilled coolant and elevated-temperature fluid circuits. It ships individually and can be ordered as a single unit.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by pipefitters, millwrights, or maintenance technicians servicing industrial coolant systems. Shut down fluid flow and depressurize the line fully before removing or installing any hose fitting. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 0.25 inch barb before seating the Push-Lok connection. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and any relevant fluid system standards when servicing die casting or mold cooling circuits.
