Parker PC204 Hose Barb Straight Coupler 0.25 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC204 is a brass hose barb straight coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for non-valved, push-on hose connections in fluid handling applications. With a 0.25-inch hose inside diameter and a 200 psi maximum working pressure, this coupler delivers reliable performance across a wide temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. The threaded body connection and non-threaded shaft make installation straightforward, and the all-brass construction ensures durability in demanding coolant and hydraulic circuits. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working with mold cooling systems or light hydraulic lines will find this fitting a practical, direct-fit solution.

The PC204 is rated for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, making it well-suited for industrial maintenance and production environments. Its straight body geometry simplifies routing in tight manifold or tooling setups. The Moldmate series designation indicates this coupler meets the dimensional and pressure standards common to modular mold cooling systems. The 1/4-inch body diameter and 0.25-inch hose diameter make it a standard-size component for common coolant circuit assemblies found in manufacturing facilities.

Key Features

• 0.25-inch hose inside diameter for compatibility with 1/4-inch hose lines
• 200 psi maximum working pressure suitable for mold coolant and light hydraulic circuits
• Operating temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• All-brass construction for corrosion resistance in coolant environments
• Non-valved, straight-body design for unrestricted flow and simple installation
• Threaded body connection with non-threaded shaft for secure, leak-resistant attachment

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Suitable for 1/4-inch ID hose connections in non-valved straight-coupler applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or millwright familiar with fluid fitting assembly. Depressurize and drain the coolant circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect hose ends for cuts or deformation prior to barb insertion, and ensure the hose is fully seated over the barb before securing any clamp. Follow applicable facility safety and fluid system procedures when working on pressurized coolant or hydraulic lines.
