Parker PC328V 45 Degree Hose Barb Coupler 0.5 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PC328V is a 45-degree hose barb coupler designed for fluid transfer applications that demand reliable sealing and thermal stability. Built from brass with a valved configuration, this coupler connects 0.5-inch ID hose to a 3/8-inch threaded body port. It carries a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -20 degrees F up to 400 degrees F. The non-threaded shaft and threaded connection body make it a straightforward fit into ported manifolds and equipment fittings. It is part of the Moldmate series, sized and rated for demanding industrial fluid routing tasks performed by maintenance technicians and fluid system specialists.

The PC328V is specified for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. The 45-degree barb angle eases hose routing in tight or angled installations where a straight barb would create excessive hose stress or bending. The valved design allows the coupler to control flow independently at the connection point, which is useful when disconnecting hose assemblies without full system shutdown. This coupler suits industrial coolant and hydraulic fluid circuits that operate at moderate pressure within the 200 psi rating.

Key Features

• 45-degree hose barb angle for angled hose routing with reduced stress
• Valved design allows flow control at the connection point
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in coolant and hydraulic fluid service
• Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Moldmate series fit for die casting and mold coolant line applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as stated by the manufacturer. Fits 0.5-inch ID hose with a 3/8-inch threaded body connection per Moldmate series specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified maintenance or fluid systems technicians. Depressurize and isolate the fluid circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any coupler. Ensure the mating hose ID matches the 0.5-inch barb diameter and that the threaded port matches the 3/8-inch body thread before assembly. Do not exceed the 200 psi maximum working pressure or the 400 degrees F temperature limit in service.
