Prevost 3/8″ High Flow Hose Stem Coupler (ESI071810)

The Prevost 3/8″ High Flow Hose Stem Coupler (ESI071810) is an advanced, quick-connect safety coupling engineered for demanding compressed air systems. Designed with operator safety and efficiency as top priorities, this coupler provides a secure and reliable connection for 3/8-inch ID air hoses. Its innovative “one push” safety system facilitates controlled decompression and disconnection, significantly mitigating the risk of dangerous “hose whip.” Constructed from a high-performance composite material, the ESI071810 is lightweight, resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and crushing, and possesses anti-static properties, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial environments, including ATEX classified zones. This high-flow coupler ensures optimal airflow for pneumatic tools and machinery, contributing to enhanced productivity and reduced energy loss. Compliant with international safety standards, the Prevost ESI071810 is an essential component for any professional pneumatic setup prioritizing safety, performance, and operational reliability.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• One-Push Safety System: Allows for simultaneous decompression and disconnection with a single action, eliminating hose whip and enhancing operator safety.
• High Flow Performance: Engineered for optimal airflow, ensuring pneumatic tools operate at peak efficiency and reducing pressure drop in the system.
• Robust Composite Construction: Lightweight, non-scratch, anti-static, and highly resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and crushing, extending product lifespan and reducing maintenance.
• ATEX Certified: Approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (gaseous zones 1 and 2, dust zones 21 and 22), providing versatility across various industrial settings, including paint booths.
• Silicone-Free Manufacturing: Reduces the risk of contamination, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as painting and varnishing where surface integrity is critical.
• Secure & Leak-Tight Connection: Features a precise contour plug and nitrile seal for perfect leaktightness, ensuring no air loss and consistent performance.

• ID Passage: 3/8″
• For Hose ID: 3/8″
• Max. Output Pressure: 174 PSI
• Profile: High Flow (European Profile 7.2 – 7.4mm)
• Temperature Range: 5 °F to 158 °F
• Dimensions (Length x Width x Height): 3.44 inches x 1.27 inches x 0.89 inches
• Included in Product When Purchased/Shipped: The Prevost 3/8″ High Flow Hose Stem Coupler (ESI071810) typically includes one coupler unit.

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Hose: Ensure your 3/8″ ID air hose has a properly installed Prevost-compatible plug/stem.
2. Connect the Coupler: Hold the coupler in one hand and the hose with the plug in the other.
3. Insert the Plug: Push the plug firmly into the opening of the coupler until it clicks securely into place. A secure connection is indicated when the plug no longer pulls out freely.
4. Disconnect Safely (One-Push System): To disconnect, simply push the green button or sleeve on the coupler. This action will first decompress the air pressure within the hose before fully releasing the plug, preventing violent hose whip.
5. Remove the Plug: Once fully decompressed and released, pull the hose and plug away from the coupler.
