I'm giving Airbrushing a try. I bought a Badger Sotar airbrush, and a compressor, Central Pneumatic. They don't use the same size connectors to attach the hose. Can someone point me towards an adapter?

I see some on Amazon, but not sure what you call it or what to search for?

Thanks, Xin/Jeff

Most likely 1/4" or 1/4" quick connect to 1/8". See if this helps: link

Your local hardware store will likely have adapters, they're pretty common.

Email or message Badger. They are EXCELLENT at making sure you have the right part. They are inexpensive too. I had the same issue when I bought my Badger 105 Patriot airbrush.

Thanks

If you go to a local hardware store, a local Ace hardware store should be your first choice. They have been very helpful to me when I wasn't sure what I needed. You're pretty much on your own with the big box stores.

You hardware superstore will have a blister pack of 20-odd air tool connectors and adapters. Likely the size you want will be in that set. Save the rest for future.

Don't forget teflon tape if you don't have some already.
