Parker PC226AV-BP 45 Degree Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler

Product Description

The PARKER PC226AV-BP is a 45-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for low-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic fluid connections. Rated to 200 psi and constructed from brass, this valved coupler accepts 3/8-inch hose and features a non-threaded shaft type for tool-free push-on assembly. The built-in valve allows the line to be disconnected without full system depressurization, reducing fluid loss during service. At 0.17 pounds, it is a compact, field-ready fitting suited for installation by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals working on low-pressure fluid lines.

The PC226AV-BP is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial fluid-handling systems where a 45-degree angled push-on barb connection is required. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water, air, and compatible hydraulic fluid applications. The valved body makes it especially useful in applications where frequent connect-disconnect cycles are expected. The operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F supports a wide variety of service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or plumbing technician. Before connecting or disconnecting this fitting, relieve system pressure and isolate the fluid supply to prevent injury or fluid release. Push-Lok barb connections require the hose to be fully seated to the barb stop for a secure, leak-free assembly. Verify hose inner diameter and pressure rating compatibility before installation.
