Description
Prevost Female Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile
Prevost Female Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile provides a precision compressed-air quick-connect plug for pneumatic systems using the 3/8" Asian profile. The ORP 086201 female plug combines a 3/8" quick-connect profile and 3/8" ID passage with a 1/4" Female NPT equipment-side connection.
Designed for connection with a compatible Asian-profile quick coupler, this Prevost plug provides a compact connection point for pneumatic tools, hose assemblies, fittings, manifolds, and other compressed-air equipment. The quick-connect profile and Female NPT thread size are separate specifications and should both be verified before ordering.

3/8" Asian Quick-Connect Profile
The Prevost Female Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile is designed for compressed-air systems using the corresponding Asian quick-connect geometry. The plug profile determines which coupler can accept the plug and should not be confused with the Female NPT thread size.
- 3/8" Asian quick-connect profile
- ORP 08 plug family
- 3/8" ID passage
- Designed for a compatible 3/8" Asian-profile coupler
- Quick-connect profile is independent of the threaded equipment connection
1/4" Female NPT Connection
ORP 086201 uses a 1/4" Female NPT threaded connection. This allows the plug to install onto a compatible 1/4" Male NPT pneumatic fitting or component while retaining the larger 3/8" Asian quick-connect profile on the coupler side.
- 1/4" Female NPT connection
- Installs onto compatible 1/4" Male NPT components
- Suitable for pneumatic tools and equipment fittings
- Suitable for hose adapters and compressed-air assemblies
- NPT size does not determine the quick-connect profile
3/8" ID Passage
The 3/8" ID passage provides the internal airflow opening through the ORP 086201 plug. This passage corresponds with the larger 3/8" Asian profile used by this plug family.
- 3/8" internal passage
- Designed for compatible compressed-air applications
- Provides an airflow path through the quick-connect plug
- Verify complete-system airflow requirements before installation
Asian Profile vs. Female NPT Thread Size
The 3/8" Asian Profile and 1/4" Female NPT dimensions describe different sides of the Prevost ORP 086201 plug.
- The 3/8" Asian profile determines which quick coupler accepts the plug.
- The 1/4" Female NPT connection determines which threaded pneumatic component the plug attaches to.
- A 1/4" Female NPT connection does not make this a 1/4" profile plug.
- ORP 086201 remains a 3/8" Asian-profile plug.
- Always verify both profile and thread size before ordering.
Designed for Compatible Asian-Profile Couplers
The Prevost Female Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile should only be used with a quick coupler designed for the corresponding Asian connection profile.
- Match the plug and coupler profile before connection
- Do not select compatibility based only on NPT thread size
- Do not force the plug into an incompatible coupler
- Confirm existing coupler profile when replacing an installed plug
- Inspect both plug and coupler for wear or damage during maintenance

- Step 4: Confirm that ORP 086201 matches the existing coupler profile.
- Step 5: Verify operating requirements of the complete compressed-air system before installation.
Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize pneumatic equipment before installing or removing the plug.
- Verify the existing coupler uses the correct 3/8" Asian profile.
- Confirm the threaded equipment connection is compatible with 1/4" Female NPT.
- Use thread-sealing material appropriate for compressed-air NPT connections.
- Follow proper NPT installation and tightening practices.
- Do not force the plug into an incompatible quick coupler.
- Inspect the plug connection surface periodically for excessive wear or damage.
- Inspect the mating coupler and seal as part of routine maintenance.
- Replace damaged or excessively worn components.
