Parker PC226 45 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PC226 is a 45-degree hose barb coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for connecting flexible hose in hydraulic and fluid transfer applications. Built from brass, this non-valved, non-threaded fitting accepts 3/8-inch hose and is rated to 200 psi, with an operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. At 0.13 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suitable for installations where space and weight are considerations. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid system installers typically specify this fitting for low-to-medium pressure lines in industrial and commercial environments.

The PC226 is suited for fluid transfer systems using flexible hose in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 45-degree barb angle allows routing hose around obstructions and into tight quarters without kinking. The brass construction provides adequate corrosion resistance for water, oil, and many common hydraulic fluids. This coupler is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations as well as maintenance and repair work on existing hose assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or hydraulic technicians. Before servicing any hose assembly, depressurize the line completely and verify the system is at zero pressure before removing or installing fittings. Push the hose fully onto the barb and secure with an appropriate clamp rated for the application pressure. Follow all applicable codes and the hose manufacturer's installation guidelines for clamp placement and hose insertion depth.
