Prevost Hose Stem Plug ARO 210 Interchange

The Professional Choice for Direct-to-Hose Pneumatic Connections

The Prevost Hose Stem Plug ARO 210 Interchange is a high-performance pneumatic fitting designed to be installed directly into the end of an air hose. By combining the plug profile and a serrated hose barb into a single, solid component, this fitting eliminates the need for separate threaded adapters—reducing weight, minimizing potential leak points, and creating a more streamlined tool setup.

Engineered to the precise ARO 210 (1/4″) profile, this plug ensures a perfect, airtight fit when used with ARO-style safety couplings, providing maximum efficiency for your compressed air system.

Key Features

• Integrated Hose Barb (Stem): The plug features a precision-machined, multi-serrated barb that “bites” into the inner wall of the air hose. When used with a proper clamp, it provides a permanent, blow-out-proof connection that won’t pull apart under pressure.
• Hardened Steel Construction: Unlike soft brass fittings that can deform or “mushroom” over time, Prevost plugs are made from high-grade, heat-treated steel. This ensures the plug remains perfectly shaped for a secure seal, even after thousands of cycles.
• ARO 210 Interchange Standard: Fully compatible with all ARO 210 style (often called “A-Style”) couplers. This allows you to upgrade your hose assemblies while maintaining compatibility with your existing ARO-profile shop air system.
• Anti-Corrosion Coating: The steel is treated with a specialized protective finish to resist rust and chemical wear, making it ideal for the humid and oily conditions common in automotive and industrial shops.
• Precision Machined Geometry: Machined to exact tolerances to ensure smooth insertion into safety couplings. This reduces friction, making connections easier for the operator and extending the life of the coupling’s internal seals.

Technical Specifications

Best Use Cases

• Custom Lead Hoses: Perfect for building “whip hoses” that connect directly to pneumatic tools, reducing the bulk and weight at the operator’s wrist.
• Mobile Air Units: Ideal for service trucks and portable compressors where lightweight and rugged connections are essential for field work.
• Assembly Lines: Used to create streamlined hose drops for pneumatic screwdrivers and nut runners in high-speed manufacturing.
• Repair Facilities: Replacing worn-out or leaky threaded fittings with a one-piece solution that simplifies the tool chain.

Installation Tip

For a professional, leak-free assembly, ensure the air hose is cut squarely and pushed fully over the serrated stem until it seats against the plug shoulder. Always secure the connection with a high-quality ear clamp or worm-gear clamp to ensure the hose remains safely attached at high pressures.
