Parker PC318V-BP 90 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC318V-BP is a 90-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for fluid transfer applications requiring a secure, non-threaded push-on connection. Built from brass and rated to 200 psi, this valved coupler belongs to Parker's Moldmate series. It accepts a 1/2-inch hose diameter and features a 3/8-inch body diameter. The valved design allows the line to be disconnected without full system depressurization at the coupling point. It is sized at 2.8 inches in length and weighs 0.39 pounds, making it a compact, field-ready fitting for technicians working with hydraulic or pneumatic fluid lines.

This coupler is suited for hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing in both light industrial and mobile equipment applications. The 90-degree barb geometry helps route hoses in tight spaces where a straight coupler would create unacceptable bend radius or interference. The operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F supports use in heated fluid systems as well as cold-climate outdoor environments. Technicians installing push-on hose assemblies in hydraulic circuits or compressed-air systems will find this fitting a direct-install solution requiring no pipe thread sealing.

Key Features

• 90-degree hose barb geometry for compact hose routing in confined spaces
• Valved design allows coupling separation without full line blowdown at the connection point
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in fluid transfer service
• Non-threaded Push-Lok barb accepts push-on hose without clamps or ferrules
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• 200 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure hydraulic and pneumatic lines

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch Push-Lok style hose in Parker's Moldmate series. Compatible with non-threaded push-on hose assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch body diameter barb coupler.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic or pneumatic system completely before disconnecting any existing fittings or inserting this coupler. Push-Lok barb connections require hose to be pushed fully onto the barb until seated — verify full seating before re-pressurizing. Inspect the hose end for cuts or abrasion before installation to ensure a leak-free connection.
