Parker PC328-BP 45 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PC328-BP is a 45-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for high-pressure fluid transfer in industrial applications. Built from solid brass, this Moldmate series fitting accepts a 0.5-inch ID hose and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. The non-threaded shaft paired with a threaded body connection allows for secure, tool-assisted installation into compatible ported equipment. Rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, this coupler handles demanding thermal cycling without seal degradation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping professionals install this type of fitting where reliable coolant flow and pressure integrity are critical.

The PC328-BP is specified for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines, where consistent coolant delivery and leak-free connections are essential to production uptime. The Moldmate series is engineered for these high-cycle, thermally stressed environments. The 3/8-inch body diameter and 0.5-inch hose inside diameter make this fitting a direct match for standard mold cooling circuit configurations. It is sold individually, making it suitable for single-point replacement or new circuit builds.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or industrial maintenance technician familiar with hydraulic and coolant circuit assembly. Depressurize and drain the coolant circuit fully before removing or installing any fitting. Follow applicable fluid system codes and the equipment manufacturer's torque and assembly guidelines for threaded body connections. Inspect hose end condition before seating onto the barb to ensure a leak-free Push-Lok engagement.
