Badger Quick Disconnect? - Help!

Badger Quick Disconnect? - Help!

O.K. Stupid question time.

I bought the Badger Quick Disconnect part #51-038

It says Male Q.D. For Badger.

O.K. it screws on to the airbrush. Nice. Now what. There is
no "female" part for the hose. Am I missing something?
I searched but can only find the quick disconnect that
I bought listed anywhere. There must be a "female" part
for the hose. Yes? No?

Help please. LOL!

If you change from the screwing process to quick change ( you just engage the connect into the other one, you can change your airbrushes quickly, you must no longer shut the air supply ) it is obvious that you need male AND female parts . I think it is a part that screws on the airhose the same way you screwed the male part on your airbrush and I figure Badger produces it the same way they produce the matching part. You shouls get it at the same place you got your male connect ( the alternative is getting a specific airhose, but that means modifying the compressor, I bet they sell the female part, no worry)

Thank you all for coming José

James,

You need the Badger air hose with the female Quick Connect on it. It is part # 50-2018. I have three of them. Wink [;)]

You can order a Createx female connection. It works with the Badger male fitting. I bought a few of the Createx female quick release fittings to put on my air hoses. It is cheaper than buying a hose with the female fitting on it if you already have a airhose you are willing to cut the end off of.

Thanks for the replies. Well that hose cost $23.00+ so I think
I will keep the one I have and chuck the disconnect.

Thanks for pointing that out John, I forgot that they fit.

James,

I can get you that hose for $18.42 plus shipping if you want one.
The Createx connector that John mentioned is another alternative although it is almost the same price as the Badger airhose.
