Automotive Profile vs. Male NPT Size
The Automotive profile and the male NPT thread size describe different sides of the plug.
- The Automotive profile determines which quick coupler accepts the plug.
- The male NPT thread determines which female-threaded component the plug screws into.
- URP 066253 has a 1/2" male NPT thread but uses the 1/4" Automotive profile.
- URP 086253 also has a 1/2" male NPT thread but uses the 3/8" Automotive profile.
- URP 116253 has a 1/2" male NPT thread and uses the 1/2" Automotive profile.
- Always verify both specifications before ordering.

What Automotive profiles are available?
The male plugs in this listing are available in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Automotive profiles.
What is the difference between URP 06, URP 08, and URP 11?
URP 06 uses a 1/4" Automotive profile and 1/4" ID passage. URP 08 uses a 3/8" Automotive profile and 3/8" ID passage. URP 11 uses a 1/2" Automotive profile and 1/2" ID passage.
What are Prevost plugs made from?
Prevost specifies its plugs as nitrided steel with scratch- and corrosion-resistant properties.
Does male NPT size determine the Automotive profile?
No. The male NPT size determines the equipment-side threaded connection, while the Automotive profile determines which mating quick coupler accepts the plug.
Which plug family fits a USI 06 coupler?
Use a compatible URP 06 Automotive-profile plug.
Which plug family fits a USI 08 coupler?
Use a compatible URP 08 Automotive-profile plug.
Which plug family fits a USI 11 coupler?
Use a compatible URP 11 Automotive-profile plug.
Why is matching the correct profile important?
The plug and coupler must use compatible profile dimensions and tolerances to provide the intended connection and seal. Do not choose a plug based only on NPT thread size.
