Prevost Female Plug Automotive Interchange

Description

Prevost Female Plug (Automotive Interchange)

Reliable High-Pressure Connection for Professional Air Tools

The Prevost Female Plug (Automotive Interchange), also commonly referred to as the Truflate style, is a premium pneumatic fitting designed for the North American automotive and service industry. This female-threaded plug is engineered to screw directly onto the air inlet of your pneumatic tools or the ends of male-threaded air hoses, providing a secure, leak-free connection point for your quick-disconnect couplers.

Constructed for high-frequency use, these plugs are the benchmark for durability in busy tire shops, repair garages, and industrial assembly plants.

Key Features

• Truflate Profile Compatibility: Designed to seat perfectly in any Automotive-style coupler. The specific dimensions of the locking groove ensure a stable, “wiggle-free” fit that prevents air leaks and premature coupler wear.
• Case-Hardened Steel Durability: To withstand the constant impact and abrasion of a shop environment, Prevost uses heat-treated steel. This hardening process prevents the plug from “mushrooming” or deforming even after thousands of connection cycles.
• Precision Female Threading: Features clean, accurate NPT threads for a deep, secure bite into tool inlets or hose fittings. This ensures the plug remains airtight under high pressure and vibration.
• High-Quality Zinc Plating: The exterior is finished with a protective zinc coating that resists rust, corrosion, and the harsh chemicals often found in automotive workshops, such as brake cleaner and motor oil.
• Optimized Flow Rate: The internal bore is designed to allow maximum air volume (CFM) with minimal restriction, ensuring your impact wrenches and grinders operate with full power and torque.

Technical Specifications

Which Thread Size Do You Need?

The Body Size refers to the plug’s connection tip, while the Thread Size must match your tool’s inlet.

• 1/4″ NPT Female: Most common size for standard air tools like blowguns, ratchets, and 1/2″ impact wrenches.
• 3/8″ NPT Female: Ideal for high-flow tools and larger 3/4″ impact wrenches to ensure no air starvation.
• 1/2″ NPT Female: Used for heavy-duty industrial equipment and high-volume distribution manifolds.

Why Choose Prevost?

In a professional environment, cheap “over-the-counter” fittings often lead to “whistling” leaks that force your compressor to run more often than necessary. Prevost’s Automotive plugs are machined to tighter tolerances, saving you energy costs and extending the life of your pneumatic system.
