Parker PC214AV-BP 90 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PC214AV-BP is a 90-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a reliable, valved connection point. Built from brass, this fitting features a 0.25-inch inside diameter and a 200 psi maximum working pressure rating. The valved body design allows line disconnection without full system drain-down, reducing downtime during maintenance. It accepts Push-Lok hose assembly without additional tools, making it a practical choice for technicians working in tight or angled routing situations. The PC214AV-BP belongs to Parker's Moldmate series and is rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F.

This coupler is engineered for use in die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where precise, leak-free connections at 90-degree angles are essential. The Moldmate series is purpose-built for industrial cooling circuit applications where couplers must withstand thermal cycling and repeated connect-disconnect cycles. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically install these fittings as part of closed-loop coolant systems in manufacturing environments. The brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in water-based coolant circuits.

Key Features

• 90-degree hose barb geometry routes hose in space-constrained installations without additional elbow fittings
• Valved body allows disconnection with minimal fluid loss
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water-based and light coolant media
• 200 psi maximum working pressure suits typical mold cooling circuit demands
• Wide temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F covers standard industrial coolant operating conditions
• Push-Lok hose attachment requires no clamps or threading tools at the hose end

Compatibility

Specified for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Accepts 1/4-inch Push-Lok hose on the barb end with a threaded connection on the body side.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial maintenance technician familiar with hydraulic and coolant circuit service. Shut down the coolant system and relieve all line pressure before disconnecting or installing couplers. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 0.25-inch barb before pushing the hose fully onto the barb end. Inspect the valved mechanism and body threads for damage before placing the fitting into service.
