Description
Prevost Female Coupler - High Flow Profile
Prevost ERC 07 Female Couplers provide a high-flow quick-connect connection for compressed-air systems using the Prevost 7.4 mm / 3/8" High Flow profile. Available with 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" female NPT connections, these couplers make it easy to connect compatible High Flow plugs to threaded pneumatic piping, manifolds, equipment, and hose assemblies.
The ERC 07 family uses a regular push-button coupling design and mates with compatible ERP 07 High Flow plugs. All three variants use the same High Flow quick-connect profile; the only difference between them is the female NPT connection size.

Choose the Correct Female Connection
1/4" FNPT
ERC 071201 combines the ERC 07 High Flow quick-connect profile with a 1/4" female NPT connection.
3/8" FNPT
ERC 071202 combines the same High Flow profile with a 3/8" female NPT connection.
1/2" FNPT
ERC 071203 provides the High Flow quick-connect interface with a larger 1/2" female NPT connection.
High Flow Profile vs. Female NPT Size
The High Flow profile and female NPT connection describe two different sides of the coupler. Both specifications should be checked before ordering.
- The 3/8" High Flow profile determines which quick-connect plugs can be inserted into the coupler.
- The FNPT size determines which male-threaded fitting, pipe, manifold, or equipment connection the coupler attaches to.
- All three variants use the same ERC 07 quick-connect profile.
- Changing from 1/4" to 3/8" or 1/2" FNPT does not change plug compatibility.
ERC 07 / ERP 07 Compatibility
ERC 07 couplers are designed to mate with compatible ERP 07 High Flow plugs. Matching the quick-connect profile is separate from choosing the threaded connection on the back of the coupler.
- Coupler family: ERC 07
- Compatible plug family: ERP 07
- Profile: 7.4 mm / nominal 3/8" High Flow
- Do not select a mating plug based only on its thread or hose size.
- Verify the plug profile before connecting components from different coupling families.
Common Applications
Compressed-Air Distribution
- Shop air piping
- Air manifolds
- Drop connections
- Machine air supplies
- Workstation air connections
Pneumatic Equipment
- Air tools
- Hose assemblies
- Production equipment
- Automotive service equipment
- Maintenance applications
How to Select the Correct Coupler
- Step 1: Confirm the application uses the ERC 07 / ERP 07 High Flow quick-connect profile.
- Step 2: Identify the male NPT connection that the coupler will attach to.
- Step 3: Select 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" FNPT to match that connection.
- Step 4: Verify the pressure, airflow, and service requirements of the complete compressed-air system.

Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize the compressed-air system before installation, removal, or service.
- Confirm the NPT connection size before installation.
- Use an appropriate thread-sealing method for the pneumatic application.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the coupler or mating component.
- Verify that the mating plug uses the compatible High Flow profile.
- Inspect the coupler and plug periodically for wear, damage, contamination, 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 system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What profile do these couplers use?
All three models use the Prevost ERC 07 7.4 mm / nominal 3/8" High Flow profile.
Which plugs fit ERC 07 couplers?
ERC 07 couplers are designed for compatible ERP 07 High Flow plugs.
What female thread sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" female NPT connections.
Does the FNPT size determine the plug profile?
No. The female thread size and quick-connect profile are independent specifications.
What is the difference between ERC 071201, ERC 071202, and ERC 071203?
They use the same High Flow quick-connect profile but have different female NPT connection sizes.
Are these PrevoS1 safety couplers?
No. These ERC models are regular High Flow quick couplers rather than the PrevoS1 safety-coupler family.
