Air Hose Needed!
Posted by personman906 on Saturday, March 19, 2011 11:08 AM

I need suggestions for an air hose that fits my situation: I just bought a Master Airbrush model G23 brush, and I found out that it doesn't fit my current air hose, which is kinda understandable...Anyway, I have a Testors mini black compressor that looks like a little black box.  What I need is an air hose that will fit both that compressor and my new airbrush.  I have a very tight budget, so please don't suggest anything too expensive.

I had a similar problem.

If one end of the hose will fit at least either the airbrush or the compressor then you can get an adapter for the other end.

Locally you might check a hobby shop, Lowes, Hobby Lobby, Harbor Freight, or a general hardware store for the adapter.

I  had to physically take my airbrush and hose around with me because I kept getting the wrong size adapter.Crying

I finally bought an airbrush kit ($15) at Harbor Freight just because it contained the size adapter I needed! That airbrush is stiil in the box!

The alternative would be online but then you are going to need the EXACT size of the connectors.

Well, I've narrowed my search down to an air hose that has 1/4" fittings on both ends. I couldn't find any online, and all the adaptors I found were the right size on the wrong end...

My G23 came with a connector piece that shouldn't be to difficult to hook up to an existing airhose. Just cut one end of the hose off and use a clamp to secure that piece to the hose. No?
