1/4" Industrial Quick-Connect Profile
Both IRM hose stem coupler variants use the same 1/4" Industrial quick-connect profile. This profile determines which plug fits the coupler and is separate from the hose ID used on the hose side.
- IRM 061806: 1/4" Industrial Profile x 1/4" Hose ID
- IRM 061810: 1/4" Industrial Profile x 3/8" Hose ID
- 1/4" ID passage on both variants
- Designed for compatible 1/4" Industrial-profile plugs
Choose the Correct Hose ID
IRM 061806 - 1/4" Hose ID
- 1/4" Industrial quick-connect profile
- For 1/4" ID compressed-air hose
- 1/4" ID passage
- Regular Metal construction
- Direct hose stem connection
IRM 061810 - 3/8" Hose ID
- 1/4" Industrial quick-connect profile
- For 3/8" ID compressed-air hose
- 1/4" ID passage
- Regular Metal construction
- Direct hose stem connection
Direct Hose Stem Connection
The integrated hose stem allows the Prevost Regular Metal Hose Stem Quick Coupler to connect directly to compatible compressed-air hose without an equipment-side threaded fitting.
- Direct hose stem / hose barb connection
- No NPT equipment-side connection
- Select according to compressed-air hose inside diameter
- Designed for hose-end pneumatic assemblies
- Use an appropriate hose clamp, ferrule, or approved retention method
Industrial Profile vs. Hose ID
The 1/4" Industrial profile and hose ID describe two different sides of the coupler and should be selected independently.
- The Industrial profile determines which quick-connect plug fits the coupler.
- The hose ID determines which compressed-air hose fits the hose stem.
- IRM 061806 fits 1/4" ID hose.
- IRM 061810 fits 3/8" ID hose.
- Both models use the same 1/4" Industrial quick-connect profile.
- Do not determine plug compatibility based only on hose size.
