Prevost Hose Stem Plug ISO 6150 C Interchange

Description

Prevost Hose Stem Plug ISO 6150 C Interchange

The Precision Safety Standard for Direct Hose Integration

The Prevost Hose Stem Plug ISO 6150 C Interchange is a high-performance pneumatic component designed for industrial environments that utilize the ISO 6150 C profile (often characterized by its distinctive “stepped” or “cylindrical” shape). By integrating the plug and a serrated hose barb into a single, high-strength unit, this fitting provides a secure, streamlined connection for flexible air lines.

Machined from hardened steel, this plug is engineered to provide maximum airflow while ensuring total compatibility with ISO 6150 C safety couplings, making it a critical part of any high-efficiency pneumatic network.

Key Features

• ISO 6150 C Profile Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit the ISO 6150 C (Series C) interchange. This profile is widely used in European manufacturing and high-spec industrial plants due to its robust locking surface and high flow characteristics.
• Integrated Serrated Hose Barb: The machined stem features deep, sharp serrations that “bite” into the inner lining of the air hose. When used with a proper clamp, it creates a permanent, blowout-proof connection that resists pulling out under high pressure.
• Hardened Steel Durability: Prevost plugs are manufactured from high-grade steel that has been heat-treated to resist deformation. This prevents the “mushrooming” of the plug tip that often occurs with softer brass fittings after repeated connections.
• Precision Airflow Bore: The internal geometry is optimized to allow for high volume airflow (CFM) with minimal pressure drop, ensuring that your air tools operate at their maximum rated torque and speed.
• Anti-Corrosion Finish: Treated with a specialized protective coating to resist rust and chemical wear, ensuring a long service life even in the humid and oily environments common in heavy industry.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

• Heavy Manufacturing: Ideal for assembly lines where ISO 6150 C is the standard for high-security, leak-free connections.
• Automotive Plants: Perfect for building custom lead hoses (whips) for pneumatic nut runners and high-frequency grinders.
• Robotic Tooling: Used in automated systems where a standardized, robust, and precision-machined plug is required for consistent performance.
• Maintenance & Repair: Upgrading legacy hose assemblies to a one-piece solution that simplifies the tool chain and eliminates leaking threaded joints.

Installation Best Practices

To ensure a safe and permanent connection, cut the air hose squarely and push it fully over the barb until the end of the hose meets the plug shoulder. For industrial safety, Prevost recommends securing the hose with an Oetiker-style ear clamp or a high-torque worm-gear clamp to prevent accidental disconnection under pressure.
