Description

Prevost ELS Series Straight-Through Hose Stem Coupler

The Prevost ELS Series Straight-Through Hose Stem Coupler is engineered for industrial water applications where “more is better”—specifically, more flow and more volume. By utilizing an unvalved, straight-through design, this coupler eliminates internal obstructions, providing a wide-open 9mm path for water to travel from the hose to your tool without any pressure drop.

Finished in high-quality chrome-plated brass, it is the professional choice for wash-down stations, cooling systems, and high-capacity fluid transfer.

Key Features & Benefits

Unrestricted High Flow: The unvalved internal architecture ensures that the water volume is limited only by your hose diameter, making it ideal for high-output tasks like tank filling or industrial rinsing.
Direct Hose Integration: Features a precision-machined, multi-serrated hose stem (barb) that provides a superior grip on the internal diameter of the hose, preventing leaks or blow-offs when secured.
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Constructed with a chrome-plated brass body and stainless steel locking components to withstand constant exposure to water, salt air, and industrial detergents.
One-Handed Operation: The knurled sliding sleeve is designed for quick, easy connection and disconnection, even with wet hands or heavy work gloves.
Hygienic Finish: The polished chrome exterior resists scale buildup and is easy to sanitize, meeting the high standards required in food processing and laboratory environments.

Common Applications

Machine Cooling: Providing high-volume, continuous water circulation for industrial equipment and molds.
High-Capacity Rinsing: Used in breweries, dairies, and meat processing for rapid cleaning of large surfaces and floors.
Agriculture: Connecting irrigation lines where maximum water delivery is required for sprayers or soaking systems.
Emergency Eye Wash/Showers: Ensuring immediate, high-volume flow in safety-critical plumbing.

Safety Tip: When using a straight-through coupler, always ensure there is a shut-off valve located upstream in the system to stop water flow before disconnecting the hose.
