Parker PC216AV 90 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 0.375 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC216AV is a 90-degree hose barb coupler designed for high-pressure fluid connections in industrial cooling and die casting applications. Built from brass, this valved coupler features a 0.375-inch hose inside diameter and a 0.25-inch coupler size, with a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. Part of the Parker Moldmate series, it is engineered for reliable sealing and flow control in demanding thermal management circuits. The valved design allows for connect and disconnect without significant fluid loss, making it a practical choice for technicians servicing mold coolant lines and related equipment.

This coupler is intended for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines where a 90-degree hose barb connection is required. The Moldmate series is built for the temperature extremes common in industrial cooling circuits, rated from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. The threaded connection type and non-threaded shaft allow for straightforward integration into existing plumbing configurations without additional adapters in most standard setups.

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. Compatible with hoses having a 3/8-inch inside diameter. Part of the Parker Moldmate series.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or industrial fluid systems technician. Shut off all fluid flow and depressurize the line fully before disconnecting or installing any coupler. Verify hose inside diameter matches the 0.375-inch barb before assembly, and inspect the barb seating for proper engagement. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and local plumbing codes when working on pressurized coolant circuits.
