H&S adapters?

[kitman]

Hi i am contemplating getting a H&S airbrush. Presently i use a iwata compressor and iwata airbrushes. What i need to know is if i can use the air hose that i have at the moment or will i have to also purchase a new pipe/adaptor for the H&S.?. Also i intend to get the model with the smallest nozzel for very fine work. Anyone offering good prices which you could recommend. Thanks.

You don't need an adapter. It's a standard 1/8".

H&S have the same 1/8th fitting as Iwata , but have a quick release adapter on the bottom of the brush as standard.  You can either take this off or buy the other half of the quick release adapter  to attach to  your hose.  ( https://www.modellingtools.co.uk/quick-release-27mm-to-18-m--for-18th-hose-104403-3554-p.asp  )

 

This has one advantage, if you have a compressor with a tank.  When you remove the brush from the hose, the quick release adaptor seals the hose.

Also you could get the air adjusting quick release. A bit on the expensive side compared to the Chinese ones, but there's no comparison in terms of quality.
