As some may know, I just recieved my new Iwata hp-cs airbrush. I have a testors aztek compressor that I use for my aztek. I’m getting the seprately sold AB hose tommorow and I just wanted to know, will the Iwata AB hose work on my testors compressor? If it can’t, is there any adapters that I can buy to fit them together? The compressor is testor’s AC400 and it looks like the thread outlet on it is a 1/2 an inch. Does anybody know what the size of the compressor end of Iwata’s AB hoses? Thanks.
Should be the same, The moisture trap and reg I just added were from Home Depot, all 1/4 inch fittings I believe. If it isn’t universal, I would never buy from the offender again.
yes, i have an iwata hose and it comes with a 1/2 inch female coupling which attaches to standard american compressor parts. later.
Thanks ausf and Salty, I’m so glad![:D][8D][bow]. The airhose is coming today and I’m glad to know it will work out! I’ll tell everyone how it works out, but thanks![bow]
Do you mean it measures 1/2" or are you saying it is a 1/2" NPT fitting? That is huge! [:0]

here is my set up mike. take a look and correct me if im wrong as i really dont know what NPT means. i should be ashamed as i have several nail guns and such that have 1/4 inch NPT. later.
Chris,
The abbreviation, “NPT” stands for National Pipe Thread and it is the standard for pipe fittings in the U.S as you probably already know.
That fitting you are showing is a 1/4" NPT I believe as that is pretty much the standard size used on Badger, Paasche, and other air hoses where they connect to the compressor. Although they are called, “1/4” they are much larger than that as the NPT system is odd as are most thread standards for pipe threads. Who thinks these things up anyhow? [%-)]

who knows brother!! later.
