|---|---|---|---|
| IRC 06 | 1/4" | 1/4" | 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" |

Direct Hose Connection
The Prevost Hose Stem Regular Quick Coupler provides a hose-barb connection that allows the coupler to be installed directly onto compatible compressed-air hose.
- Direct hose-stem connection
- No threaded NPT connection on the hose side
- Select according to the inside diameter of the hose
- Designed for compressed-air hose assemblies
- Suitable for permanent or serviceable hose-end installations
Industrial Profile vs. Hose ID
The Industrial quick-connect profile and the hose ID are separate specifications and both must be correct for the application.
- The Industrial profile determines which quick-connect plug fits the coupler.
- The hose ID determines which compressed-air hose fits the hose stem.
- IRC 061810 fits 3/8" ID hose but uses the 1/4" Industrial profile.
- IRC 081810 also fits 3/8" ID hose but uses the larger 3/8" Industrial profile.
- Do not identify quick-connect compatibility based only on hose size.
- Verify both the profile and hose ID before ordering.
Hose ID Selection Guide
1/4" Hose ID
- IRC 061806
- 1/4" Industrial Profile
- 1/4" ID Passage
3/8" Hose ID
- IRC 061810 - 1/4" Industrial Profile
- IRC 081810 - 3/8" Industrial Profile
1/2" Hose ID
- IRC 061813 - 1/4" Industrial Profile

Compatible Plug Profiles
| Coupler Family | Industrial Profile | Matching Plug Profile |
|---|---|---|
| IRC 06 | 1/4" | Compatible 1/4" Industrial Profile Plug |
| IRC 08 | 3/8" | Compatible 3/8" Industrial Profile Plug |
Quick-connect compatibility is determined by the plug and coupler profile. Hose ID determines only the hose-side connection and does not determine which plug fits the coupler.

- Use a suitable hose clamp, ferrule, or approved retention method for the hose and application.
- Do not use a damaged, cracked, hardened, or incorrectly sized hose.
- Do not force an incompatible plug into the coupler.
