Parker PQ-00162 Pneumatic Hose Coupler 3/8-18 Brass

Product Description

The PARKER PQ-00162 is a brass pneumatic hose coupler designed for industrial interchange applications. It features a 3/8-18 female NPTF threaded connection and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi. The coupler measures 2.28 inches in overall length and is built to handle operating temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. This coupler is installed by pneumatic technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial tradespeople working on compressed air lines, pneumatic tool circuits, and related fluid-transfer systems. The all-brass construction offers corrosion resistance in demanding service environments.

This coupler fits into industrial pneumatic systems where standard industrial interchange quick-connect fittings are specified. It is sized for 3/8-inch inside-diameter hose and uses a female NPTF threaded port, making it compatible with standard pipe-thread male nipples and fittings commonly found in manufacturing, maintenance, and general industrial service applications. Each package contains two couplers. The industrial interchange configuration ensures broad cross-brand mating compatibility within that coupling standard.

Compatibility

Designed as an industrial interchange-style pneumatic hose coupler compatible with standard 3/8-inch industrial interchange pneumatic quick-connect systems using 3/8-18 female NPTF threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or mechanical technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before removing or installing any coupling. Apply thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service to the NPTF threads per the fitting manufacturer and site guidelines. Do not exceed the rated 300 psi working pressure or the specified temperature limits in service.
