My new TC-20 model air compressor finally came in last week. Now my dilemma - I have a F#1 Paasche hose I need to get an adaptor for a connection to the compressor itself. I can find the female connector for the hose part but having a hard time looking for one with the correct male end to connect to the compressor itself. I'm guessing the male end needs to be a 3/8' thread. If any of you own a TC-20 aircompressor with a Paasche air hose, please advise me on what the connector is. I don't want to cart the air compressor and hose to a store in order to find the correct fit. Thanks.

HI Blacksheeptwoonefour,
I doubt you'd find what you need locally anyway!! I just checked my Paasche hose (for an H model) and it has a 1/4" NPT female thread (is physically larger than 1/4") for the compressor - I believe the TC20 has a male 1/8" BSPP male thread at the compressor. So, you need a 1/8" BSP female to 1/4" NPT male in order to make a direct connection. Such connectors are available see AMAZON for example. Read the small print - you need to order >$25 to get them. But you have a couple of alternatives: 1) and easiest, cut the Paasche adapter off the hose and buy a barbed 1/8" female connector from TCP Global or H&S to stick in to replace what you removed; or, 2) buy a 1/8" BSP hose on both ends and also a 1/8" BSP to Paasche AB adaptor available from AB suppliers. HTH but let me know if I've confused.
EDIT: TCP Global sells what you need see HERE
After trying aftermarket attachment from Harbor Freight, I broke down and ordered one from TCP Global. The part came in the other day and tonight I did a chicken way out trial run just to get a feel of finally using an airbrush for the first time using water. I am now confident I can do this and will now take it up one baby step - try it out using a good quality water base acrylic paint. Once I get a feel of how it coats I'll be ready to go full commando and get down to serious painting. LOL!
