Prevost Prolac Hose Stem Coupler Automotive

Description

Prevost Prolac Hose Stem Coupler

Streamlined Connectivity for Flexible Air Line Assemblies

The Prevost Prolac Hose Stem Coupler combines the speed of a push-button quick-disconnect with a direct hose tail integration. Designed to be inserted directly into the inner diameter (ID) of a flexible air hose, this coupler eliminates the need for extra threaded adapters, reducing potential leak points and creating a slimmer, more ergonomic tool interface.

Whether you are building custom whip hoses or extending a main line, the Prolac Hose Stem version provides a secure, “one-push” connection in a lightweight, non-marring package.

Key Features

• Direct Hose Integration: The integrated barbed stem (hose tail) ensures a high-integrity connection when secured with a hose clamp. This “inline” design is less bulky than threaded setups, making it easier to drag across shop floors.
• Effortless “Push-to-Connect”: Part of the Prolac “one-click” family, this coupler allows for instantaneous tool connection with a single hand. Simply push the plug in until it locks—no sleeve retraction required.
• Anti-Scratch Composite Housing: The body is crafted from high-tech composite materials that won’t scratch workpieces or damage vehicle finishes. This makes it the preferred choice for automotive detailing, furniture assembly, and aerospace applications.
• Lightweight Ergonomics: By removing the weight of metal threads and adapters, this coupler reduces operator hand fatigue, especially when used on handheld pneumatic sanders, blowguns, or staplers.
• High-Visibility Button Release: The large, color-coded push-button provides an instant release and allows for quick identification of the interchange profile (e.g., Industrial, Euro, or ARO).

Installation Best Practices

1. Sizing: Match the stem diameter exactly to the inner diameter (ID) of your hose (common sizes include 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm).
2. Security: Always secure the hose to the stem using a Prevost Double Ear Clamp or a high-quality worm-gear clamp to ensure the assembly can handle full system pressure.
3. Compatibility: Ensure the coupler profile (Industrial, High Flow, etc.) matches the plugs currently installed on your air tools.

Why Use the Hose Stem Version?

The Hose Stem Coupler is the best choice for hose-end applications. Unlike female or male threaded couplers that require a separate hose barb fitting, this all-in-one unit keeps your air line lightweight, shorter, and less prone to snagging on workbench edges or equipment.
