Injection Molding

Barb-Tech™ PQD Hose Assembly Tool

The NEWEST tool in the Barb-Tech™ lineup is the Barb-Tech™ PQD hose assembly tool, a revolutionary tool to address the assembly of quick connect mold couplers commonly used in the plastics injection molding industry. The tool is a portable, lightweight solution for push-lock hose assembly, allowing technicians to carry it with them wherever they go and have it readily available at the job site.

The Barb-Tech™ PQD securely anchors the quick connect mold coupler on one side of the tool, while gripping the push-lock hose on the other side and, with a few simple squeezes of the comfort trigger, it pushes the fitting into the hose, in seconds, with ease and precision.

The tool is designed to work with Push-Lock style hoses and quick connect mold couplers from 1/4″ to 1/2″ inside diameter (ID). The Barb-Tech™ PQD Push-Lock Hose Assembly tool is sold as a kit with carrying case and (3) straight and (3) 90° elbow quick disconnect mandrels for 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ ID hose sizes, with optional mandrels, mandrel assemblies and jaw sets available separately.

Robotics

Barb-Tech™ Poly-Lock Hose Assembly Tool

The Barb-Tech™ Poly-Lock hose assembly tool is designed to grip slippery polyurethane hose and easily insert push-lock barbed fittings common to industrial automation systems.

Installs most 1/2″ fittings with the “Click-On” mandrel design. The Barb-Tech™ Poly-Lock is portable and lightweight, allowing technicians to take it to the hose, rather than take the hose to the tool.

Multi-Purpose Industrial

Barb-Tech™ III Hose Assembly Tool

Installs most 1/2″ thru 1″ fittings with our “Click-On” mandrel design. Barb-Tech™ III is portable and lightweight, allowing technicians to carry it with them wherever they go and have it readily available at the job site.  Mandrels for elbow fittings are available as additional options.

Multi-Purpose Industrial

The ORIGINAL Barb-Tech™ IIc Hose Assembly Tool

The ORIGINAL Barb-Tech™ IIc push-lock hose assembly tool is for many industrial applications. Quickly install barbed fittings with ease by holding the fitting steady with our easy to change “Click-On” mandrels and guide the hose through the self gripping jaw system. A few squeezes of the handle and you’re finished. Barb-Tech™ IIc is portable and lightweight, allowing technicians to take it to the hose, rather than take the hose to the tool.

Installs most  1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, and some 3/4″ fittings with the “Click-On” mandrel design. Optional mandrels are available for the hard to hold 45° and 90° elbow fittings.
