Description
Prevost Male Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile
Prevost Male Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile provides a precision compressed-air quick-connect plug for pneumatic systems using the 3/8" Asian profile. The ORP 086251 male plug combines a 3/8" quick-connect profile and 3/8" ID passage with a 1/4" Male 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, regulators, manifolds, fittings, and other compressed-air equipment. The quick-connect profile and Male NPT thread size are separate specifications and should both be verified before ordering.

3/8" Asian Quick-Connect Profile
The Prevost Male Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile is designed for compressed-air systems using the corresponding Asian quick-connect geometry. The plug profile determines which coupler accepts the plug and should not be confused with the Male NPT equipment connection.
- 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" Male NPT Connection
ORP 086251 uses a 1/4" Male NPT threaded connection. This allows the plug to screw into a compatible 1/4" Female NPT port on a pneumatic tool, fitting, hose assembly, regulator, manifold, or other compressed-air component.
- 1/4" Male NPT connection
- Installs into a compatible 1/4" Female NPT port
- Suitable for pneumatic tools and equipment
- Suitable for hose fittings and compressed-air assemblies
- NPT thread 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 086251 plug and corresponds with the larger 3/8" Asian-profile connection used by this product family.
- 3/8" internal passage
- Designed for compatible compressed-air applications
- Provides an airflow path through the quick-connect connection
- Verify complete-system airflow requirements before installation
Asian Profile vs. Male NPT Thread Size
The 3/8" Asian Profile and 1/4" Male NPT dimensions describe different sides of the Prevost ORP 086251 plug.
- The 3/8" Asian profile determines which quick coupler accepts the plug.
- The 1/4" Male NPT connection determines which threaded pneumatic component the plug screws into.
- A 1/4" Male NPT connection does not make this a 1/4" profile plug.
- ORP 086251 remains a 3/8" Asian-profile plug.
- Always verify both profile and thread size before ordering.
Designed for Compatible Asian-Profile Couplers
The Prevost Male Plug - 3/8" Asian Profile should only be used with a quick coupler designed for the corresponding 3/8" 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 the existing coupler profile when replacing an installed plug
- Inspect both the plug and coupler for wear or damage during routine maintenance
Male Plug Configuration
Quick-Connect Side
- 3/8" Asian profile
- 3/8" ID passage
- Connects to a compatible Asian-profile coupler
Equipment Side

Compatible Coupler
ORP 086251 is designed for use with a compatible 3/8" Asian-profile quick coupler. For the sleeve-style Prevost family, the matching coupler profile is the same 3/8" Asian connection profile used by the Prevost Sleeve Style Female Quick Coupler - 3/8" Asian Profile.
- Plug: ORP 086251
- Plug profile: 3/8" Asian
- Compatible coupler profile: 3/8" Asian
- Thread connection on ORP 086251: 1/4" Male NPT
- Quick-connect compatibility is determined by profile, not NPT size
