Parker PC308V-BP Push-lok Hose Barb Straight Coupler Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC308V-BP is a valved, brass Push-Lok hose barb straight coupler designed for use in fluid-handling and cooling applications that demand reliable quick-connect performance. Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure, it accepts a 0.5 inch inside-diameter hose and features a 3/8 inch body diameter. The built-in valve prevents fluid spillage when the coupling is disconnected, which keeps work areas clean and reduces fluid loss. This fitting is part of Parker's Moldmate series and is installed by hydraulic and industrial fluid-system technicians in production and maintenance environments.

This coupler is specified for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where controlled fluid flow and quick disconnection under pressure are required. The straight configuration simplifies inline installation. With a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, it handles both chilled and heated coolant circuits. Its compact profile fits in tight equipment bays common in industrial tooling setups. A single-piece package quantity makes it straightforward to source as a direct replacement or for new installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial fluid-system technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing couplings to prevent fluid ejection or injury. Verify hose inside diameter and system pressure rating before assembly. Consult applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and sealing requirements.
