Airbrush conector and hose ?

[dryvr12]

Has anyone had any luck with a quick connect/disconnect with airbrushes and compressors (and hoses)

I use a quick disconnect from my compressor to my air hose and works great. I don't use one from my airbrush to my hose as it just makes the airbrush too heavy. Just go to any of the local hardware stores that have air tools and they should have quick change connectors. Just make sure you get the right male fittings that will work with the female fitting since there are several different types.

Zack, They make small ones just for your AB, you can get them at Coast Airbrush or Bear Air. I use a Quick disconnect on the compressor end and use a separate hose for each AB. You could also rig up a manifold of some sort and have them all hooked up at once if you want. I hope this helps.

Zack,

I had the opertunity to try the new Badger "Rage" and "Velocity" airbrushes a week ago, and both were epuiped with a mini Q/disconect. I did not notice any difference in performance at all. The only thing that did give me some difficulty was connecting and disconecting the hose while using the bottom feed Velocity with a large paint bottle. Attaching the hose is easier w/o the paint bottle. I had no problem with with the top feed Rage.

I would recomend using a Q/disco if you change brushes often

Been using them for years. Got the from Coast Airbrush. They make it a lot easier to clean the airbrush when you are done. I have two airbrushes and I would probably not use both of them if I had to unscrew the hose each time. Money well spent even if you only have one brush.

Here is my setup. I used a valve out of the compressor then a quick disconnect into a short 1/4"hose, which is adapted to the Paasche hose. I can leave the gun connected with this system without it leaking at the gun. It will be easy to add a manifold with this system.
