Paasche adapter for compressor.

[kender]

I have a paasche air brush, VLSTPRO, with the paasche air hose. My problem is that it won't connect to the compressor that I bought. The moisture trap says it has an 1/8 connector. The paasche air hose will not fit on it since the threading on the airhose is larger than what's on the fitting. Does anyone know what size fitting the paasche airhose will work with? I have the compressor from http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/compress.aspx it's like the top one only it has 2 compressors.

Thanks

I don't know about sizes. but you can buy adaptor pieces for the compressor
I bring in my hose and let them know what size I need for the compressor and get the workers to figure it out..

You need a 1/8 - 1/4 npt adapter - you can get one at any big box hardware store. Get a 1/8 nipple and a 1/8 - 1/4 bushing. You will then be able to attach your airbrush hose.

Put quick-connects on the compressor and hose, that way you won't have to go through the battle everytime you want to change hoses, airbrushes, etc.
With each hose set up with the male end for the quick connect, the female end on the compressor will let you swap hoses in and out without having to use wrenches or cursing.
As far as the specific fittings go, you need to bring the existing fitting in to your hardare or hobby shop, and do your buying with those measurements in mind. Some compressor companies use their own oddball sizes for the compressor fittings so that you will have to buy their hoses to use it.

All pipe threads and couplings are standardized. There are maybe 4 pipe standards NPT, NPTF, BSPP, and BSPT that are used for compressor applications. As far as quick connects go there are just a few standards for those also. No one makes there own oddball sizes as they would have to manufacture there own tap and dies as well.

Just over the counter from wallyworld here,,,
ordinary snap fittings,, most auto/hdw areas
carry them,, cheaper than genuine "Airbrush"
suppliers would be,, but work great,, and
portable to most auto/body shops as well !!!

(these aren't bright'n shiney,, but they see some use)

egneg, I wish your comments were true, but some airbrush companies who produce their own compressors do use their own odball size for fittings. Commercial compressors do tend to go with standard fittings, and most airbrush companies make their hoses with one end set up for 1/4"NPT, but not all.
Whit, I'm with you, I try to use as much standard over the counter stuff as I can, that lets me save my money, and lets me keep my setup so that I can get pieces almost anywhere.
I tend to keep one male and female fitting with me when I go shopping for fittings, that lest me have a way to test that all the new fittings will fit my existing fittings. I have run into the "close but not quite" routine a couple of times, where the variations in the fittings were just enough to keep them from working for me, I lost the cost of the time and gas for the shopping trips.
