Description
Prevost 3/8" Push-On Hose Stem Plug - Industrial Profile - STOFLEX Only
Prevost IRP 08PON38 Push-On Hose Stem Plug provides an Industrial / ISO 6150 B quick-connect plug specifically configured for use with compatible 3/8" STOFLEX push-on compressed-air hose. The IRP 08 plug profile is designed to mate with compatible Prevost ISI 08 Industrial couplers while the integrated push-on hose stem provides the hose-side connection.
This plug is intended specifically for a STOFLEX push-on hose installation and should not be treated as a general-purpose hose-barb replacement. The quick-connect profile and hose connection perform two different functions: the IRP 08 profile determines coupler compatibility, while the 3/8" push-on stem determines the compatible hose connection.

Designed for STOFLEX Push-On Hose
The IRP 08PON38 is the push-on version of the IRP 08 Industrial plug and is intended specifically for compatible 3/8" STOFLEX hose.
- Push-on stem eliminates the need for a threaded hose-side connection.
- 3/8" stem is matched to the compatible STOFLEX hose connection.
- Designed for compressed-air hose assemblies using the specified push-on system.
- Do not substitute ordinary hose solely because the nominal inside diameter is 3/8".
- Verify STOFLEX hose compatibility before assembly.
Understanding IRP 08 Profile vs. Hose Size
The IRP 08 profile and 3/8" push-on hose connection describe different sides of the plug.
The IRP 08 designation identifies the quick-connect profile that inserts into the compatible compressed-air coupling. The 3/8" Push-On designation identifies the hose-side connection.
- Quick-connect side: IRP 08 Industrial / ISO 6150 B profile
- Hose side: 3/8" STOFLEX Push-On connection
- Coupler compatibility is determined by the IRP 08 profile.
- Hose compatibility is determined by the Push-On stem and specified STOFLEX hose.
Industrial / ISO 6150 B Compatibility
This plug belongs to Prevost's IRP 08 Industrial family. Prevost identifies IRP 08 as the compatible plug family for ISI 08 Industrial couplings.
- Designed for compatible ISI 08 Industrial couplers
- Industrial / ISO 6150 B connection profile
- Do not select a plug based only on hose diameter.
- A 3/8" hose connection does not mean the plug will fit every 3/8" quick coupler.
- Confirm the existing coupler uses the matching Industrial profile before ordering.
Why Plug Quality Matters
Precise Connection Profile
Quick-connect plugs must closely match the required profile dimensions and tolerances so they seat correctly inside the coupling and interface properly with its sealing components.
Durable Construction
Prevost specifies nitrided steel construction for its compressed-air plugs, providing resistance to scratching and corrosion during repeated connection cycles.
Dependable Connection
A correctly matched plug and coupler help maintain a reliable compressed-air connection and reduce leakage at frequently connected pneumatic-system points.
Push-On vs. Standard Hose Barb Plug
IRP 08PON38 Push-On
- Specifically intended for STOFLEX push-on hose
- 3/8" push-on hose connection
- IRP 08 Industrial plug profile
- Use when the hose assembly is built around the compatible STOFLEX Push-On system
Standard IRP Hose Stem
- Separate IRP hose-stem products are available for conventional hose installations
- May use a different hose-retention method
- Should not automatically be considered interchangeable with the Push-On version
- Select according to the hose system being assembled
Common Applications
Shop & Service
- STOFLEX compressed-air hose assemblies
- Automotive repair facilities
- Body shops
- Service bays
- Pneumatic tool hoses
- Maintenance departments
Industrial Applications
- Manufacturing facilities
- Assembly lines
- Production workstations
- Machine shops
- Plant maintenance
- Flexible pneumatic hose assemblies
How to Confirm This Is the Correct Plug
- Step 1: Confirm the existing quick coupler uses the IRP 08-compatible Industrial / ISO 6150 B profile.
- Step 2: Confirm the hose is compatible 3/8" STOFLEX Push-On hose.
- Step 3: Verify the hose and fitting are intended to be assembled as a Push-On system.
- Step 4: Confirm pressure, temperature, and application requirements for the complete hose assembly.
- Step 5: Do not substitute a conventional hose solely because it has the same nominal inside diameter.
Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize the compressed-air system before assembling, removing, or servicing hose components.
- Use this plug only with compatible STOFLEX Push-On hose.
- Verify the hose is the correct size and specification before assembly.
- Install the hose fully onto the Push-On stem according to the applicable hose-system requirements.
- Confirm that the IRP 08 profile matches the existing Industrial coupler.
- Do not force the plug into an incompatible quick-coupling profile.
- Inspect the hose, stem, plug, and coupler periodically for damage, wear, loosening, or leakage.
- Replace damaged or excessively worn components.
- Do not exceed the ratings of the lowest-rated component in the compressed-air assembly.
- Compressed-air hose assemblies should be assembled and serviced by qualified personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IRP 08PON38?
The IRP 08PON38 is a Prevost Industrial-profile compressed-air plug with a 3/8" Push-On hose stem intended specifically for compatible STOFLEX hose.
What quick-connect profile does this plug use?
It uses the IRP 08 Industrial / ISO 6150 B profile.
Which Prevost coupler family is compatible?
IRP 08 is the compatible plug family for corresponding Prevost ISI 08 Industrial couplers.
What size hose does this plug connect to?
This model has a 3/8" Push-On hose stem intended for compatible 3/8" STOFLEX hose.
Can this be used with ordinary 3/8" air hose?
This product is identified for STOFLEX Push-On hose. Do not assume that another 3/8" hose is compatible solely because it has the same nominal inside diameter.
Is this the same as the standard IRP 08 hose-barb plug?
No. This is the Push-On configuration intended for the STOFLEX hose system. Standard hose-stem IRP plugs are separate products.
Does the 3/8" hose size determine which quick coupler it fits?
No. The 3/8" dimension describes the hose connection. Quick-coupler compatibility is determined by the IRP 08 Industrial profile.
What are Prevost plugs made from?
Prevost specifies nitrided steel construction for its compressed-air plugs.
Why are accurate plug dimensions important?
The plug must conform to the dimensions and tolerances of its quick-connect profile so it seats correctly in the coupling and interfaces properly with the coupling seal.
Is this a safety coupler?
No. This product is the plug that inserts into a compatible coupler. The decompression and safety-disconnection mechanism is part of the compatible prevoS1 safety coupling, not the IRP plug itself.
