Description
Prevost CSM Metal Safety Quick Female Swivel Coupler - ISO 6150 C Profile
Prevost CSM Metal Safety Quick Female Swivel Couplers combine the rugged CSM safety coupling design with a 360° rotary connection to help reduce hose twisting and improve positioning in compressed-air applications. This listing includes 1/4" and 3/8" ID Passage versions, both with a 3/8" female NPT connection.
The CSM safety system uses a two-stage anti-whiplash disconnection process. During release, the coupling first automatically decompresses the downstream hose and then safely disconnects the plug. The swivel connection allows the coupling assembly to rotate on its axis, helping the attached hose move more naturally during use.

360° Swivel Connection
The CSM swivel configuration incorporates a 360° rotary connection on the coupling axis. This allows the connection to rotate as the attached hose or pneumatic equipment moves.
- 360° rotation on axis
- Helps reduce twisting of connected air hose
- Allows more natural hose positioning during use
- Useful where tools or hoses are frequently repositioned
- Can help reduce strain at the threaded connection
- Maintains the CSM safety quick-coupling function while adding rotational movement
Two-Stage Anti-Whiplash Safety System
Prevost designed the CSM coupling with an anti-whiplash safety device that separates downstream decompression from final plug release.
- Stage 1: Automatic decompression of the downstream hose.
- Stage 2: Safe disconnection of the coupling.
- Helps reduce sudden hose movement during disconnection.
- Provides simple and intuitive connection and disconnection.
- Flexible automated mechanism is designed for reliable repeated operation.
Heavy-Duty Metal Construction
Stainless-Steel Body
The CSM coupling body is manufactured from 17% chrome stainless steel, providing a rugged metal housing for demanding compressed-air applications.
- Resistant to abrasion
- Resistant to shock
- Resistant to crushing
- Resistant to vibration
- Resistant to corrosion
Stainless-Steel Lock
The locking mechanism uses a 13% chrome stainless-steel one-piece lock. Combined with the profiled valve and nitrile seal, the design supports dependable sealing and long service life.
Choose the Correct ID Passage
1/4" ID Passage - CSM 06
CSM 061202SW combines the nominal 1/4" ID Passage ISO C coupling family with a 3/8" female NPT swivel connection.
The 1/4" ID Passage CSM family provides approximately 833 l/min at 6 bar with a 0.6 bar pressure drop under Prevost's published test conditions.
3/8" ID Passage - CSM 08
CSM 081202SW combines the nominal 3/8" ID Passage ISO C coupling family with a 3/8" female NPT swivel connection.
The 3/8" ID Passage CSM family provides approximately 2,120 l/min at 6 bar with a 0.6 bar pressure drop under Prevost's published test conditions.
Understanding ID Passage vs. Thread Size
The ID Passage and female NPT connection describe different parts of the swivel coupler.
Both variants use a 3/8" female NPT threaded connection, but they belong to different quick-connect passage families.
- CSM 061202SW: 1/4" ID Passage x 3/8" Female NPT Swivel
- CSM 081202SW: 3/8" ID Passage x 3/8" Female NPT Swivel
- The 3/8" female NPT size does not determine the quick-connect profile size.
- Select the ID Passage according to the required ISO C coupling family and airflow.
Why Use a Swivel Coupler?
Reduced Hose Twist
The rotary connection allows the coupler to turn with hose movement, helping reduce twisting and kinking during operation.
Improved Positioning
360° rotation gives the hose additional freedom to orient itself as tools and equipment are moved around the work area.
Less Connection Strain
Allowing rotational movement can help reduce torsional loading at the hose, fitting, and threaded connection.
Sealing & Pneumatic Efficiency
Profiled Valve
The CSM system uses a profiled valve as part of the internal sealing arrangement for dependable compressed-air performance.
Nitrile Seal
A nitrile seal helps maintain connection tightness and contributes to long sealing life.
Efficient Airflow
Prevost designed the CSM coupling family to maintain efficient airflow for pneumatic systems and tools.
Flow Capacity by ID Passage
| 1/4" ID Passage | 833 l/min at 6 bar with 0.6 bar Pressure Drop |
|---|---|
| 3/8" ID Passage | 2,120 l/min at 6 bar with 0.6 bar Pressure Drop |
ISO 6150 C Compatibility
These CSM swivel safety couplers use the ISO 6150 C quick-connect profile. The mating plug must correspond to the selected CSM coupling family.
- Select the mating plug according to the CSM quick-connect ID Passage family.
- Female NPT size does not determine plug compatibility.
- The 1/4" and 3/8" ID Passage models are different quick-connect sizes despite sharing a 3/8" FNPT connection.
- Verify existing plug compatibility before ordering.

Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize the compressed-air system before installing, removing, or servicing the coupling.
- Confirm that the 3/8" female NPT connection matches the system fitting.
- Use thread-sealing materials and installation practices appropriate for compressed-air NPT connections.
- Do not restrict the swivel connection in a way that prevents normal rotational movement.
- Verify the required ISO C quick-connect family before connecting pneumatic equipment.
- Do not select the coupler based only on the 3/8" female thread size.
- Verify that the selected ID Passage provides adequate airflow for the pneumatic equipment.
- Keep the coupling within its specified operating-temperature range.
- Inspect the coupling, swivel connection, and mating plug periodically for wear, damage, contamination, corrosion, or leakage.
- Compressed-air components should be installed and serviced by qualified personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about the CSM swivel coupler?
The swivel version incorporates a 360° rotary connection that allows the coupling to rotate on its axis as the hose or connected equipment moves.
What ID Passage sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/4" and 3/8" ID Passage CSM swivel couplers.
What female thread size do these swivels use?
Both variants use a 3/8" female NPT connection.
Does the 3/8" female NPT connection mean both couplers use the same quick-connect size?
No. CSM 061202SW uses the 1/4" ID Passage quick-connect family, while CSM 081202SW uses the 3/8" ID Passage family.
How far does the swivel rotate?
