Description
Prevost 3/8" Hose Stem Coupler - Automotive Profile
Prevost URC 061810 Hose Stem Coupler provides a direct quick-connect connection between flexible compressed-air hose and systems using Prevost's Automotive Profile. This model combines the URC 06 Automotive quick-connect interface with an integrated hose stem for 3/8" ID hose.
The Automotive Profile determines compatibility with the mating quick-connect plug, while the 3/8" hose-stem connection determines the inside diameter of the flexible hose that attaches to the coupler. The integrated stem provides a compact hose-end connection without requiring a separate threaded hose adapter.

Automotive Profile vs. Hose ID
The 1/4" Automotive Profile and 3/8" hose ID describe two different sides of the coupler.
- The Automotive Profile determines which quick-connect plug mates with the coupler.
- The 3/8" hose ID determines which flexible compressed-air hose fits the integrated stem.
- The hose size does not determine quick-connect compatibility.
- Verify both the Automotive Profile and hose inside diameter before ordering.
Direct Hose Connection
The integrated hose stem allows URC 061810 to connect directly to compatible 3/8" ID flexible compressed-air hose.
- Designed for 3/8" hose inside diameter
- No separate threaded hose adapter required
- Hose should be fully seated over the stem during installation
- Use an appropriate hose clamp or approved retention method
- Verify the hose is suitable for the pressure and service conditions of the compressed-air system
Why Use a Hose Stem Coupler?
Direct Connection
The integrated stem connects directly to flexible compressed-air hose without requiring an additional threaded hose adapter.
Compact Assembly
Eliminating a separate adapter simplifies the hose-end assembly and reduces the number of connection points.
Quick-Connect Access
The Automotive Profile provides a convenient quick-connect interface for compatible pneumatic components.

How to Select This Coupler
- Step 1: Confirm the mating plug uses the compatible Automotive Profile.
- Step 2: Confirm the compressed-air hose has a 3/8" inside diameter.
- Step 3: Verify the hose construction and pressure rating are suitable for the application.
- Step 4: Fully seat the hose over the stem during assembly.
- Step 5: Secure the hose using an appropriate clamp or approved retention method.
- Step 6: Verify the requirements of the complete compressed-air system before pressurizing.
Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize the compressed-air system before installing, removing, or servicing the coupler.
- Use only with compatible 3/8" ID compressed-air hose.
- Push the hose completely onto the hose stem.
- Use a clamp or approved retention method appropriate for the hose construction and operating pressure.
- Confirm the mating plug uses the correct Automotive quick-connect profile.
- Do not force incompatible quick-connect components together.
- Inspect the hose, coupler, clamp, and mating plug periodically for wear, damage, or leakage.
- Replace damaged or excessively worn components before returning the system to service.
- Do not exceed the operating limits of the lowest-rated component in the compressed-air system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hose size does URC 061810 fit?
URC 061810 is designed for compatible 3/8" ID compressed-air hose.
What quick-connect profile does this coupler use?
URC 061810 uses the URC 06 Automotive Profile.
Is the 3/8" hose ID the same as the quick-connect profile size?
No. The hose ID identifies the hose connection, while the Automotive Profile identifies the quick-connect interface.
Does this coupler require a separate hose adapter?
No. The hose stem is integrated into the coupler for direct connection to compatible flexible hose.
How should the hose be secured?
Use an appropriate hose clamp or approved retention method suitable for the hose material, diameter, operating pressure, and application.
Is this the swivel model?
No. URC 061810 is the standard non-swivel hose-stem configuration.
