Parker PC216-BP 90 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC216-BP is a 90-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for fluid handling applications in industrial and process cooling systems. Built from brass with a 0.375-inch hose inside diameter and a 0.25-inch threaded body, this coupler handles working pressures up to 200 psi and temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. The non-threaded shaft design and Push-Lok connection method allow for fast, tool-free hose assembly without clamps or ferrules. It is part of the Parker Moldmate series, engineered for precision fluid routing in demanding environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This coupler is specified for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where reliable 90-degree routing and secure push-on hose attachment are critical. The Moldmate series targets cooling circuit applications in industrial mold and die environments where consistent flow, temperature range, and pressure integrity are required. The brass construction resists corrosion in water-based coolant circuits. The 90-degree elbow geometry suits tight routing paths where straight fittings would create excessive hose bend stress or routing conflicts in compact manifold assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Fits 3/8-inch inside diameter Push-Lok hose with a 1/4-inch body connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or industrial maintenance technicians familiar with hydraulic and fluid cooling circuits. Depressurize and drain the coolant circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Push-Lok connections require the hose to be pushed firmly onto the barb to achieve a proper seal — verify full seating before returning the system to pressure. Follow applicable industry standards for fluid system assembly and leak testing after installation.
