Lawzer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi folks, the wonderful mrs lawzer bought me the revell starter airbrush set for Christmas. Works great but the only thing is it's just a push on hose from the compressor to the a/b and as i bought another a/b (daren't tell her! 😆) i want to use both. Went to my local shop today and the guy said you can get a push on quick release adaptor but i can't remember what he said it was called. Something like easy connect or the like. Any one know the name of this (or of any other similar gadgets)? Tia! ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwh548 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You might as well get the quick release with air regulator, it saves you the effort of reaching to the compressor for adjusting the pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest - I don't know for sure - but they fitted my H&S EVO airbrush - which is one of the 'industry standard' brushes on the market - so I would guess so... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks folks. i have the q/r couplings - problem is the air hose is just a push on type - no threaded connector to attach the q/r fitting to. It's an adaptor for that i need (if such a thing exists).... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 ...push on at both ends - to the brush and the compressor??? Maybe you need a new hose too??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup both ends... the compressor itself is just a push on connection (which considering how much it cost i'm quite surprised at) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What brand/version is the compressor? Photo would help sort out what may be needed but I would suggest new connectors both ends and a new hose is the way to go. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'push-pull' connections on some pumps are common - with a little ring around the hole that you - push - then - pull the tube to release it - not really 'budget' just 'another way'. How about a picture... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 here we go: as I said this thing wasn't cheap. It works well for my needs but a PITA as far as the q/r goes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawzer Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 I might just try putting the airbrush end of the hose in HOT water the see if i can screw the q/r fitting into it. If it all goes wrong i can always just cut off that bit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 From your photos, it appears to me the hose connector will screw off the airbrush body, you'll need to replace that with a male quick release connector of the appropriate thread (someone on here might be able to help with that) & cut off the hose fitting & replace with a female quick release fitting, Paul (little cars) above might be able to advise on that, probably be happy to sell you the right bits too.

bmwh548 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I don't see the quick-release you bought, is it one of these? https://newgaga.guphotos.com/i/w?u=/images/E/5/E1395/E1395-1-7881-RhiV.jpg If so you need an additional part: https://www.image-tmart.com/prodimgs/2/22001483/Airbrush-Spray-Gun-Air-Hose-Splitter-Connector-Fitting-Part-_800x800.jpg You connect those two and just force the hose over the part in the second link (you can secure it in place with a zip-tie if you want). Or you can place an order with Paul for a custom hose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to an airbrush supplier would be the best route and they will be able to give you the most suitable solution. Goos luck P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
