Steve Noble Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I just bought myself a new compressor (Jun Air 3-4) and a new braided air hose. In both ends of the air hose, compressor end and airbrush quick connect end there's a rubber washer. Am I right to assume that the rubber washer seals the air hose and i don't need to use ptfe tape or a thread sealing liquid? Or should I still use the tape or thread lock?

Bonhoff Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I think it's safe to assume that - That's how my compressor's set up. If it does leak, take it off and add some PTFE tape.... KRs IanJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Noble Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Got everything working fine, no leaks. I used Loctite on the adaptor that goes into the regulator and the rubber seals were sufficient on the hose connections. First time I've had an automatic stop/start compressor and must say it's definitely a plus point to not have it running all the time 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
