Hi everyone, I bought a badger 200SG and a Compressor with connection 1/8" BSP. I found out that the badger airbrush needs a special hose to connect to. But where can I find a badger air hose with 1/8" on the other side for my compressor. Because I've seen the air hose for badger airbrush, they are all 1/4 for the other side...So plz help me out...I really want to start AB as soon as possible...THank you all~~~

Badger sell vinyl or braided airhose with 1/8" thread at the compressor end. You should be able to find it at most Badger airbrush dealers. If you are in England, see the Everything Airbrush web page.

If you are in the US and cannot find a Badger dealer, go to Lowe or Home Depot. You can easily find a "1/8" female to 1/4" male" adapter for $2-3. The 1/8" NPT (National Pipe Thread for US) may not fit the 1/8" BSP (Bristish Standard Pipe) perfectly. But they are close enough that some telfon tape will seal them properly for you.

Next time, don't buy BSP if you are in the US. In England, you have no problem.

thank you all for replying!!! Really thank you!!!!!

btw sir ,could you tell me how to use this adapter...like where to put it?on the hose 1/4? or on the compressor 's adapter.

I'm in canada and it's really hard to find a badger dealer...even a airbrush store...

I didnt even know what BSp was...thank you for explaining. So i will just need a 1/8 female to 1/4 male adapter which has the water filting fonction?

I'm sry to bother you again... is this what I should buy?

Features and Benefits:

• True Diaphram Pressure Regulator with Gauge: Provides the user full control of operating air pressure

• Precise Adjustment of Airflow: Regulated air up to 100 PSI

• Water Trap Filter: Ensures clean, dry air and has an easy
• release drain valve
• Reduces Air Pulsation: Minimizes airflow flucuations

• Easy to Use: Pull the top button up; turn clockwise to increase the pressure; turn
• counter-clockwise to release the pressure.

• Fittings: Has 1/4" inlet and output openings, but includes 2 fittings to set up 1/8"

Yes, this regulator/filter is a typical setup for airbrush compressors. But didn't your compressor comes with one? If not, go get one.

A disphram regulator is good because it tends to provide more precise pressure setting. The filter is a must for compressor. You may save the trouble of finding the adaptor. This item typically costs $15-20 on the US Ebay with free shipping.

Make sure that your compressor can provide at least 0.5 CFM at least 10 psi higher than your preferred spray pressure setting. The margin is good for a pulsation free sir source.
