new airbrush

Sparrowhyperion

If it's the same as my 155,t hen it is their 1/8" proprietary on the brush end and a female 1/4" NPT on the other.  I have a 2 Gallon, 1/3 HP conpressor that I had to switch the regulator out for one with a moisture trap.  I attached the new regulator/gauge/moisture trap using a standard 1/4"NPT Male to 1/4" NPT Male 4" long nipple extension pipe.  The new regulator doesn't need anything else to connect it to the nipple extension, just screw it on.  On the hose side of the regulator I installed a Male to Male 1/4" NPT adapter that the hose plugs into the other side of with a quick disconnect connector in between.  If you have to swap pipes or adapters, make sure to use a good amount of teflon tape when you put things back together. There is a seller on eBay who has an inexpensive kit with just about every kind of adapter and connector you might need.  The price is pretty good too.  Here's a link.

Linky above.

If you have a Harbor Freight or other hardware store nearby, you can go shop for exactly what you need. See the HF examples.

I_AM_THE_GREATEST

i have the same airbrush only mine is black. I need to know what attachment to use.

Ok,, glad to hear you've solved the issue.......  best of luck with the a-brush

PS

Sitting in my shop, watching the Bears spank Seattle and getting ready to fire up my compressor / airbrush for some Krupp Protze painting.......

problem resolved! i found the part at a local craft store.

I use a CH too, and it did come with the adapter, hope you find one. Somehow I've ended up with three or four of them! Good luck with your new airbrush, and remember practice is best accomplished by applying equal parts effort, perseverance and patience.

my compressor is a cambell hausfeld. It has 100 max psi and it came with a bunch of attachments in cluding some kind of chuck. I need to find these attachments and/or get the little brass part.

yea i found that about an hour earlier. If you know my last post, i mentioned i was young and have no way of getting around. I need to wait until monday when my dad gets back to go the hardware store.

Then we will need to know what fitting on your compressor. If the air hose you bought has a larger "female" fitting, it will most likely attached directly, and if not this is likely the one you will need:

Easily sourced for a few bucks at the hardware store.

You might want to check out my page on the 250. You can see it here.

it came with a hose. I looked at the box for the compressasaurus and it says it comes with multiple nozzles so i probably can hook it up.

Well, not directly, you'll need an air hose!

A standard Badger air hose connects to my compressasaurus just fine, but you just may need an adapter, which are found at any decent hardware store that sells air compressors and tools.
