- Reduces direct coupler-body contact with nearby surfaces
- Useful in environments where cosmetic damage is a concern
- Provides a softer exterior contact surface
Designed for FA Swivel Couplers
NSB FA is specifically intended for compatible Prevost FA swivel couplers. It should be selected based on coupler family compatibility rather than pipe-thread or quick-connect profile size.

- Does not replace the coupler itself
- Verify the installed coupler family before ordering
Why Use a Coupler Boot?

Professional Shop Protection
The boot is particularly useful in service and finishing environments where maintaining the appearance of surrounding equipment and customer property is important.
