Parker PC328V-BP 45 Deg Push-lok Hose Barb Coupler

Product Description

The PARKER PC328V-BP is a 45-degree Push-Lok hose barb coupler designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. Part of the Parker Moldmate series, this brass fitting accepts a 1/2-inch hose diameter and carries a pressure rating of 200 psi. It is a valved, non-threaded coupler with a 3/8-inch body diameter. The brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid media. Operating temperatures span from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding service environments. Licensed technicians and fluid-power mechanics install this fitting in both mobile and stationary hydraulic systems.

The PC328V-BP is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies where a 45-degree push-on barb connection is required. The valved design allows the coupler to control flow when disconnected, reducing fluid loss during hose changes. Typical applications include industrial hydraulic circuits, fluid-transfer lines, and mobile equipment where compact, angled fittings improve routing clearance. The push-lok barb interface eliminates threaded assembly, speeding up field installations and hose replacements on systems running compatible 1/2-inch Push-Lok hose.

Key Features

• 45-degree hose barb angle for improved hose routing in tight spaces
• Valved design reduces fluid spillage when the coupler is disconnected
• Brass body construction resists corrosion across a broad range of fluids
• 200 psi working pressure rating for hydraulic and fluid-transfer service
• Non-threaded Push-Lok barb interface for fast, tool-free hose attachment
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch Parker Push-Lok hose in the Moldmate series. Confirm hose series and body diameter compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid-power technician or hydraulic system mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Verify that the hose is fully seated on the barb per the hose manufacturer's push-on seating guidelines. Inspect the coupler and hose end for damage before returning the system to service.
