Parker PC226-BP 45 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC226-BP is a 45-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for use in fluid handling systems that require a secure, leak-resistant connection without threaded assembly at the hose end. Constructed from brass, this non-valved coupler features a 0.375-inch hose inside diameter and a 0.25-inch coupler size with a body diameter of 0.25 inches. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F up to 400 degrees F. Plumbing and hydraulic technicians install this fitting in applications where a push-on hose attachment is preferred over a traditional threaded connection.

The PC226-BP belongs to the Parker Moldmate series, purpose-built for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. Its 45-degree barb angle allows routing in tight spaces where straight fittings would create excessive bend stress on the hose. The non-valved, non-threaded shaft design simplifies installation on compatible push-on hose assemblies. This fitting is well suited to industrial and light hydraulic circuits that operate within the 200 psi pressure envelope and require reliable performance across a wide temperature range.

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Suitable for push-on hose assemblies with a 0.375-inch inside diameter operating within the stated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or plumbing technicians. Depressurize and drain the system fully before disconnecting or installing any hose fitting. Ensure the hose inside diameter matches the 0.375-inch barb specification and that the hose is pushed fully onto the barb to achieve a secure seal. Follow applicable OSHA and industry fluid power safety standards when working on hydraulic and coolant systems.
