Parker PC206AV-BP Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC206AV-BP is a valved Push-Lok hose barb straight coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for quick, tool-free connections in pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies. Constructed from brass, it accepts 3/8 inch hose diameter and carries a pressure rating of 200 psi. The built-in valve closes automatically when disconnected, preventing fluid or air loss during service. Operating temperature range spans -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and fluid-handling environments. This coupler is installed by hydraulic and pneumatic technicians on hose runs requiring reliable push-on attachment without threaded fittings.

The PC206AV-BP is used in industrial fluid power systems, pneumatic tool lines, and equipment requiring frequent hose disconnection and reconnection. The non-threaded, push-on design reduces assembly time on production floors, maintenance bays, and field service applications. The 1/4 inch body diameter fits standard Moldmate series mating components. It is sold individually, making it practical for both single-unit replacement and small maintenance stock builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or pneumatic technicians. Before servicing any hose connection, depressurize the system completely and verify zero pressure using an appropriate gauge. Push the hose firmly onto the barb until fully seated; inspect for proper seating before returning the system to service. Follow applicable OSHA and fluid power safety standards when working on pressurized hose assemblies.
