Air connecion

[nuchie]

I got my Badger Patriot what do I need to connect it to my 1/4 air hose.

You either need a badger hose and a 1/8-1/4 adapter, or a badger to Iwata adapter, then an Iwata type hose, and a adapter to 1/4".

I had a adapter with the cheap pro gun but I sold the gun and forgot the adapter. So the Badger is a 1/8 connector. Where can i get a 1/8 to 1/4?

Nope badger is wierd, its a 5 mm metric, you need a special adapter . This is one reason many of us use a standard airbrush hose, with an 1/8" quick disconnect , then all you need is one hose, and whatever male nipple your airbrush needs, its quick change and tangles less that way.

Here is a quick pick I think Andre posted last year on another forum but is very helpful.

Are the nipples all the same size? I have regular female quick connect fittings with my home compresser just no females to fit the gun.

This is the brush I had do you know the hose size. Is it a standard airbrush hose? It did'n come with quick connect thou. If so I only need a nipple right.
Sorry I just looked it up it is a 1/8 in hose. So I only need a nipple?

Yes all the male nipples are the same size, as long as they are airbrush disconnects. If its for a home compressor those are usually much larger.

If you had this set up, did you keep the hose? If so did you remove the nipple and screw the hose directly onto the airbrush? If you did then you just need a badger to iwata adapter and your hose will screw onto the adapter. My opinion is to get a quick disconnect set for iwata, a male badger disconnect nipple, and go from there. Put the badger nipple on the brush, put the female disconnect on the old hose if you have it, and away you go. this will give you a spare male disconnect for iwata for another brush down the line.

Yes, I kept the hose. It did not have a nipple as in the pic. I screwed the hose directly onto the gun.

That is what you need. Or if you want to, get just the female quick disconect and a Badger male part. You can not get any clearer then the diagram posted earlier.
