Description
Prevost PrevoS1 Safety Quick Female Coupler High Flow Interchange
Prevost PrevoS1 ESI Safety Quick Female Couplers provide a compact, high-flow compressed-air connection with the controlled safety disconnection of the PrevoS1 coupling system. This listing includes female-thread couplers with NPT and BSPP connection options for professional pneumatic and compressed-air installations.
The PrevoS1 safety design controls disconnection by decompressing downstream air before releasing the mating plug. This helps reduce sudden hose movement and hose-whip hazards while providing simple push-button operation for frequent pneumatic tool and equipment changes.

Choose the Correct Thread Standard
NPT Female Thread
The standard ESI 07 female couplers in this listing are available with National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections commonly used in North American compressed-air systems.
- ESI 071201: 1/4" Female NPT
- ESI 071202: 3/8" Female NPT
BSPP Female Thread
The HE configurations are available with British Standard Pipe Parallel (BSPP) female connections for systems and equipment requiring a parallel pipe thread.
- ESI 071101HE: 1/4" Female BSPP
- ESI 071102HE: 3/8" Female BSPP
- ESI 071103HE: 1/2" Female BSPP
NPT vs. BSPP Connections
NPT and BSPP threads are different connection standards and should not be treated as interchangeable. Select the variant that matches the threaded component or equipment where the coupler will be installed.
- NPT uses the National Pipe Thread standard.
- BSPP uses a British Standard Pipe Parallel thread.
- The nominal size alone does not establish thread compatibility.
- A 1/4" NPT connection should not be assumed to fit a 1/4" BSPP connection.
- Verify both thread size and thread standard before ordering.
PrevoS1 Safety Disconnection
The PrevoS1 safety system is designed to provide a controlled method of disconnecting compressed-air equipment. Rather than immediately releasing a pressurized mating plug, the coupling first decompresses the downstream air line.
After downstream pressure has been relieved, the mating plug can be released from the coupler. This controlled sequence helps reduce sudden hose movement associated with conventional pressurized disconnection.
- Simple push-button operation
- Controlled downstream decompression
- Plug release occurs after decompression
- Helps reduce hose-whip hazards
- Designed for frequent pneumatic-tool changes
- Safety function is integrated directly into the coupling
Female Thread Connection
The female-thread connection allows the coupler to install directly onto a compatible male-threaded compressed-air component.
Depending on the selected variant, the coupler can be installed on compatible NPT or BSPP male threads used on pneumatic equipment, manifolds, distribution components, hose assemblies, and compressed-air accessories.
- Compact direct-thread installation
- No separate female-thread adaptor required when the system connection already matches
- Multiple thread sizes available
- NPT and BSPP configurations available in one product family
Available NPT Connections
1/4" Female NPT
ESI 071201 provides the PrevoS1 ESI safety coupling with a 1/4" female NPT connection.
3/8" Female NPT
ESI 071202 provides the PrevoS1 ESI safety coupling with a 3/8" female NPT connection.
Available BSPP Connections
1/4" Female BSPP
ESI 071101HE provides a 1/4" female BSPP connection.
3/8" Female BSPP
ESI 071102HE provides a 3/8" female BSPP connection.
1/2" Female BSPP
ESI 071103HE provides a 1/2" female BSPP connection.
Safety & Operator Benefits
Controlled Release
The PrevoS1 mechanism decompresses downstream compressed air before the mating plug is released.
Reduced Hose Whip
Relieving downstream pressure before separation helps reduce sudden hose movement during disconnection.
Easy Operation
The push-button PrevoS1 design provides straightforward operation for technicians who frequently connect and disconnect pneumatic equipment.
Why Thread Standard Matters
When selecting a female-thread quick coupler, both the thread size and thread standard must match the component being connected.
For example, this listing includes both a 1/4" FNPT and a 1/4" FBSPP option. Although both have a nominal 1/4" size, they use different thread standards.
- ESI 071201: 1/4" FNPT
- ESI 071101HE: 1/4" FBSPP
Always identify the existing male thread before selecting the coupler.

Installation & Safety Guidance
- Depressurize the compressed-air system before installing, removing, or servicing the coupler.
- Verify the required NPT or BSPP thread standard before installation.
- Confirm that the female thread size matches the male system connection.
- Use sealing materials and installation practices appropriate for the selected thread type.
- Do not force an NPT connection into a BSPP thread or a BSPP connection into an NPT thread.
- Do not select the coupler based only on nominal thread size.
- Verify mating-plug compatibility before pressurizing the system.
- Inspect the coupler and plug periodically for wear, contamination, damage, or leakage.
- Replace damaged or excessively worn components.
- Compressed-air components should be installed and serviced by qualified personnel.
