Parker PC204AV Hose Barb Straight Coupler 0.25 in 200 Psi Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC204AV is a valved hose barb straight coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for use in high-temperature fluid transfer applications. Built from brass, it features a 0.25-inch hose inside diameter and a 200 psi maximum working pressure rating. The threaded body connection pairs with a non-threaded shaft for quick connect and disconnect in process lines. This coupler is rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial fluid handling environments. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in process cooling and mold coolant systems.

The PC204AV is specifically listed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. It belongs to the Parker Moldmate series, which is engineered for industrial process fluid circuits where reliable sealing, thermal tolerance, and repeated connect-disconnect cycles are required. The valved design allows the line to be broken without full system drain-down, which reduces downtime during maintenance or tooling changes in die casting and injection molding operations.

Key Features

• Valved design allows disconnection without full system bleed-down
