Description
Prevost Chrome Plated Female Valved Quick Coupler for Water Systems
Prevost Chrome Plated Female Valved Quick Couplers provide a durable quick-connect solution with an integrated shutoff valve for professional water-service applications. The ELS valved design automatically cuts off water flow when the connection is disconnected, helping reduce unwanted water discharge during hose or equipment changes.
This listing includes ELS 091204 and ELS 091304. Both couplers feature chrome-plated brass construction, a 3/8" ID passage, and the same valved water-system coupling design. Choose between a 3/4" Female NPT or 3/4" Female GHT threaded connection.

- Cuts off flow when disconnected
- Helps reduce uncontrolled water discharge during connection changes
- Designed for repeated connection and disconnection
- Separate from the ELS unvalved / straight-through coupler family
- Useful where hoses or water-fed equipment are changed frequently
Chrome-Plated Brass Construction
The Prevost Chrome Plated Female Valved Quick Coupler for Water Systems uses a chrome-plated brass body designed for demanding professional water applications.
