Parker PC224AV 45 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER PC224AV is a 45-degree hose barb coupler designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer applications where a reliable, low-profile angled connection is required. Part of the Moldmate series, this valved, non-threaded fitting is constructed from brass and rated to 200 psi. The 45-degree barb geometry seats securely onto compatible hose ends, and the integrated valve allows the line to be disconnected without full system depressurization. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians install this type of fitting in both stationary and mobile fluid systems where directional routing and leak-free sealing are priorities.

The PC224AV is suited for use in low-to-medium pressure hydraulic circuits, pneumatic lines, and fluid transfer assemblies operating within a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. The 1/4-inch body diameter and 1/4-inch hose diameter make it a direct fit for quarter-inch hose assemblies. Its non-threaded shaft design pairs with barbed hose fittings rather than pipe threads, making it appropriate for flexible hose terminations in both light industrial and commercial equipment applications.

Key Features

• 45-degree hose barb geometry for angled routing without additional elbow fittings
• Valved design allows disconnection with reduced fluid loss
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and many hydraulic fluid environments
• Rated to 200 psi for low-to-medium pressure circuit use
• Wide operating temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Non-threaded shaft designed for barbed hose assembly connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for 1/4-inch hose assemblies in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems requiring a 45-degree valved hose barb coupler.

Installation Notes

Installation of hydraulic and fluid fittings should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the affected circuit completely before removing or installing any coupler. Ensure the mating hose inside diameter matches the 1/4-inch barb size and use appropriate clamps or crimps rated for the system pressure. Follow applicable industry codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fluid system assembly and pressure testing after installation.
