Parker PC226AV 45 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC226AV is a 45-degree hose barb coupler designed for hydraulic and fluid transfer applications requiring a reliable, low-profile connection. Built from brass, this valved, non-threaded fitting belongs to Parker's Moldmate Series and carries a 200 psi pressure rating. It accepts a 3/8-inch hose diameter and features a 1/4-inch body diameter, making it suited for compact routing in tight spaces. The internal valve allows the line to be connected and disconnected without full system depressurization, reducing fluid loss during service. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install this fitting.

The PC226AV is used in hydraulic lines, industrial fluid systems, and equipment requiring angled hose routing where a straight coupler would create excessive bend stress. The 45-degree barb geometry reduces hose strain at the connection point. Its brass construction and wide operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F make it suitable for both heated and cold-environment service. The valved design is particularly useful in systems where quick-disconnect service is performed without full shutdown.

Key Features

• 45-degree hose barb angle reduces hose bend stress at connection point
• Valved body allows disconnect without full system depressurization
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid transfer service
• 200 psi pressure rating for hydraulic and industrial fluid lines
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Non-threaded shaft for barb-style hose retention

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch inside diameter hose in hydraulic and industrial fluid systems requiring a 45-degree barb coupler fitting. Part of the Parker Moldmate Series.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or licensed industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic line before removing or installing any coupler fitting, even on valved designs. Ensure the hose is fully seated past all barb retaining rings before securing with an appropriate clamp. Follow applicable industry standards for hydraulic fitting assembly and hose clamp torque specifications.
