Parker PC206AV Hose Barb Straight Coupler 0.375 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC206AV is a valved hose barb straight coupler designed for fluid control in industrial cooling and die casting applications. Constructed from brass, this coupler features a 0.375-inch hose inside diameter and a 0.25-inch body diameter, with a maximum working pressure rating of 200 psi. The straight configuration and threaded connection type make it straightforward to integrate into existing plumbing runs. The non-threaded shaft (barb end) locks onto compatible hose without additional fittings. Part of the Moldmate series, this coupler is suited for technicians and tradespeople working on precision coolant line assemblies.

The PC206AV is engineered for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where reliable sealing and consistent flow control are critical. Its valved design allows the line to be disconnected without full system drainage, reducing downtime during maintenance. The operating temperature range spans from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments found in industrial manufacturing and process cooling setups.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Compatible with 3/8-inch hose inside diameter plumbing runs requiring a valved straight coupler with threaded body connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by industrial maintenance technicians or plumbers familiar with hydraulic and process cooling systems. Depressurize and isolate the coolant line fully before disconnecting or installing any coupler. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 0.375-inch barb before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and relevant fluid system codes when working on pressurized lines.
