Parker PC216 90 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 0.375 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC216 is a 90-degree hose barb coupler designed for use in fluid handling and cooling applications where a right-angle connection is required. Part of the Parker Moldmate Series, this fitting is constructed from brass and rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi across a temperature range of -20 to 400 degrees F. It accepts 3/8-inch hose (0.375 inches ID) and features a 1/4-inch body diameter with a threaded connection type. The non-valved design allows unrestricted flow when connected. This coupler is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working with low-pressure fluid lines.

The PC216 is specifically suited for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where a compact 90-degree barb fitting is needed to route coolant hose around corners or through tight spaces. The Moldmate Series is built for the demands of industrial cooling circuits, where reliable sealing and temperature resistance are essential. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water-based coolant environments. It is sold individually and is a direct fit for applications requiring a 3/8-inch hose barb with a 1/4-inch coupler body.
