Parker PC318-BP 90 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC318-BP is a 90-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications in industrial environments. Built from brass, this coupler features a 0.5-inch hose inside diameter and a 3/8-inch body diameter, with a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. The non-threaded shaft mates with a threaded connection type, making it compatible with standard Push-Lok hose assemblies. It is part of the Parker Moldmate series, engineered for reliable performance across a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. Installation is handled by hydraulic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals.

The PC318-BP is rated for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where consistent flow and leak-free connections are critical. Its brass construction resists corrosion in coolant and hydraulic fluid environments. The 90-degree barb geometry allows for tight routing in confined spaces, reducing hose stress at connection points. This fitting is sold individually and is well-suited for both new installations and replacement work in production and tooling environments where the Moldmate series is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial maintenance professional. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or coolant circuit completely before removing or installing fittings. Push-Lok barb fittings require no tools for hose attachment but confirm full hose seating before returning the system to pressure. Verify that hose material and pressure rating are compatible with the circuit before installation.
