Prevost Male Plug Automotive Interchange

Description

Prevost Male Plug (Automotive Interchange)

The Professional Standard for North American Service Bays

The Prevost Male Plug (Automotive Interchange), also widely known as the Truflate profile, is a rugged and reliable pneumatic adapter specifically engineered for the automotive service industry. These plugs are the essential link between your air tools and your shop’s compressed air supply, designed to handle the high-cycle demands of tire shops, repair garages, and assembly lines.

Built to exceed industry standards, Prevost plugs ensure a leak-free connection that maximizes the torque and efficiency of your impact wrenches, grinders, and air ratchets.

Key Features

• Genuine Truflate Compatibility: Fully compatible with all Automotive/Truflate style couplers. This profile is easily identified by its shorter pilot and distinctive locking groove geometry, which is the standard for most North American automotive facilities.
• Case-Hardened Steel Construction: To prevent “mushrooming” and wear from constant plugging and unplugging, Prevost uses heat-treated steel. This ensures the plug maintains its precise shape and sealing integrity over years of heavy use.
• Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Plating: Every plug is finished with a high-quality zinc coating that protects against moisture, shop chemicals, and oils, preventing the rust that often causes leaks in inferior fittings.
• Precision Machined Seal Surfaces: The plug’s exterior is machined to a mirror-smooth finish. This reduces friction against the coupler’s O-rings, extending the life of your couplers and ensuring an airtight seal every time.
• High Flow Path: Optimized internal dimensions allow for maximum air volume, ensuring your tools receive the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) they need to perform at their rated capacity.

Why Choose Prevost Plugs?

In a busy shop, air leaks are more than just a noise—they are a waste of electricity and compressor life. Prevost Automotive plugs are engineered with tighter tolerances than “big box” alternatives. This precision prevents “plug wiggle,” a common cause of premature coupler failure and annoying air hissing.

Application Guide

• 1/4″ Body: Ideal for general-purpose tools like blowguns, tire inflators, and small air ratchets.
• 3/8″ Body: Recommended for 1/2″ drive impact wrenches and high-demand grinders.
• 1/2″ Body: Designed for heavy-duty 3/4″ and 1″ drive impacts and large-scale industrial machinery.
