Parker PC204AV-BP Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC204AV-BP is a valved Push-Lok hose barb straight coupler designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, tool-free hose connection. Part of the Moldmate series, it features a brass body rated to 200 psi and a non-threaded shaft configuration. The 1/4 inch hose barb accepts standard Push-Lok hose assemblies, and the integrated valve allows the coupler to shut off flow when disconnected. Operating temperature range spans -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide variety of hydraulic and pneumatic service environments. This fitting is installed by fluid power technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals.

The PC204AV-BP is used in hydraulic hose assemblies, pneumatic lines, and fluid transfer systems where quick-connect capability and positive shutoff are required. The Push-Lok barb design is commonly found in light to medium-duty hydraulic circuits, pneumatic tool lines, and industrial fluid handling installations. Its compact 1/4 inch body diameter fits standard Push-Lok compatible hose inside diameter configurations. Both residential and light commercial applications in plumbing and fluid power are typical service environments for this fitting type.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by fluid power technicians or licensed plumbers working on hydraulic or pneumatic hose assemblies. Depressurize the system completely and relieve any residual fluid pressure before disconnecting or installing couplings. Push-Lok barb connections require that the hose be pushed fully onto the barb until seated — do not use clamps with Push-Lok style fittings unless specifically specified by the system designer. Follow applicable local fluid power and plumbing codes when integrating this coupler into pressurized systems.
