Parker PC308V Hose Barb Straight Coupler 0.5 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC308V is a valved hose barb straight coupler from the Moldmate series, designed for use in die casting equipment and mold coolant line applications. Built from brass, this coupler features a 0.5 inch hose inside diameter and a 3/8 inch body diameter, with a rated maximum working pressure of 200 psi. The threaded connection type and straight body shape make it a direct, compact solution for connecting coolant hoses in demanding industrial environments. It is typically installed by industrial maintenance technicians and plumbing professionals working on mold cooling circuits. The Moldmate series valved design helps control flow when disconnecting lines, reducing spillage during service.

The PC308V is intended for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines where reliable low-pressure fluid connections are required. Its valved construction is well-suited for coolant systems that require frequent connect and disconnect cycles without significant fluid loss. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance compatible with water-based coolant fluids commonly used in industrial mold cooling applications. This coupler ships individually and is sold in single-piece quantities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with industrial fluid systems. Depressurize and drain the coolant line fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Confirm hose inside diameter matches the 0.5 inch barb before assembly to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fluid system assembly and pressure testing.
