Prevost NPT 3/8″ Automotive 1/4″ ID Female Coupler (USI061202)

Description

The Prevost NPT 3/8″ Automotive 1/4″ ID Female Coupler (USI061202) is designed for professional and industrial compressed air applications, delivering reliable, efficient, and safe connections between air lines and pneumatic tools. Featuring an advanced one-push release mechanism, it ensures controlled and safe disconnection by eliminating sudden air pressure releases and hose whip. Constructed with a durable composite body and steel internal components, this coupler resists impacts, abrasions, and corrosion while maintaining consistent airflow. Ideal for automotive and workshop environments, it offers exceptional safety and user-friendly operation.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Advanced Safety Release: Utilizes a one-push release system that purges downstream air before disconnecting, reducing hose whip hazards.
• Optimal Airflow: Provides 29 CFM at 87 PSI with minimal pressure drop (ΔP = 8.69 PSI) for maximum tool performance.
• Broad Compatibility: Compatible with “Automotive” (Truflate) profile plugs and features a secure NPT 3/8″ female thread.
• Robust Composite Construction: Heavy-duty composite body resists scratches, impacts, and crushing while steel internals ensure long-term reliability.
• Effortless Operation: Single-hand connection and disconnection improve convenience during frequent tool changes.
