Parker PC326V 45 Deg Hose Barb Coupler 200 Psi 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PC326V is a 45-degree hose barb coupler designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer lines requiring a reliable valved connection. Constructed from brass, this fitting belongs to the Moldmate series and carries a 200 psi pressure rating. The non-threaded, barbed design allows it to seat securely onto 3/8-inch hose I.D. The valved body allows the line to be disconnected without full system bleed-down, making it a practical choice for field service on equipment where minimizing fluid loss matters. Rated for use from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, it suits a wide range of fluid and ambient temperature conditions encountered in industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.

This coupler is suited for use in hydraulic hose assemblies on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid-power systems where a 45-degree barb exit angle is required for routing. The 3/8-inch hose barb end connects directly to compatible rubber or thermoplastic hose without threading. The valved internals make it particularly useful in quick-disconnect and service-loop configurations where technicians need to swap hose segments under field conditions without extensive system drainage.

Key Features

• 45-degree hose barb coupler geometry for low-profile hose routing
• Valved body allows disconnection with reduced fluid spill
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in hydraulic fluid environments
• Non-threaded barb end accepts 3/8-inch I.D. hose directly
• Rated 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide service temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch I.D. hydraulic hose in Moldmate-series coupler applications. Verify hose wall thickness and clamp retention are appropriate for 200 psi service before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Secure the barb end into compatible hose with an appropriately rated hose clamp or crimp ferrule rated for the system working pressure. Inspect the barb seat and valve mechanism for debris before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
