Here are some tips for installing pneumatic fittings for spray guns and airbrushes : These are very useful for connecting or disconnecting the elements that allow the supply of compressed air for the application of paint. Simply, if they did not exist, we would have to screw and unscrew each element when we want to separate them.
Depending on the quality, quantity and how these fittings are fitted between filters, hoses, compressor, gun, pressure may drop. Reduce the number of clips and these connectors to what is strictly necessary. Most are absolutely not necessary.
Pneumatic connections for guns and airbrushes
Advice for installation :
Take the time to fit the fittings properly and insulate them well with Teflon tape
Check and eliminate leaks.
Check the configuration of these pneumatic fittings and accessories carefully, as some are poorly made and have an inside diameter that is thinner than the pipe: they can be the cause of an unexplained pressure drop.
Measurements of inside diameters
In the field of pneumatic hoses, we unfortunately still speak in inches (American measurement).
You just have to know that an inch is approximately equal to 2.5 cm.
All guns, in general, have ¼ inch screw threads.
For this, you will essentially find on our site the various fittings, all in ¼ size to easily adapt to filters, guns and hoses.
The quality and composition of quick couplings
They must be sturdy and corrosion resistant. Because, even when filtering well, there is a large volume of air that passes through these fittings, and therefore a lot of humidity.
Depending on the mass of work and their intensive use, their clip mechanism may be block quickly and the fitting will therefore be unusable.
All our fittings are economical and of excellent quality with their galvanized alloy composition.
