Compressors

Hi all,

not sure where this one should go really...

I've got some equipment I need to hook up to a compressor and need the right hose between the two. They both have a locking pin (bad explanation) on them, and most of the compressor hoses and connectors I can see do not.

Does anyone have an idea of what fitting I need?

TIA

Could always take the fitting off both ends and replace with the more common connectors.

Touch above seems to be roughly on the right track with the twist lock coupling. Ideally you'd want a schrader coupling on the end of a filter/lubricator.

Ordered some stuff from this brand.

That's been my recommendation. Assume I'm just after some 3/8 fittings?

I'm not sure I didn't say I was an expert

. I just use quick release euro fittings, think the connectors and hose was about £40 all in.

It’s not my equipment haha, I’ve ordered a hose and some fittings. I guess time will tell...

Just for the off chance of Google results, ordered some of the above and worked perfectly.
