Help please?

Keep in mind that an airbrush hose is a metric pipe thread, anything at a home store will be a standard thread. I have re threaded a male pipe nipple with a metric pipe die, this will not work the other way around, the metric 1/8 pipe is a bit smaller OD than the standard 1/8pipe OD.

You will now need an adaptor to connect between the Compressor hose and your airbrush hose ( the smaller diameter one that fits onto your airbrush).
A Plumbing supply place should be able to help with most of this brass fitting stuff.
What sort of Airbrush do you have?
Might need different fittings, but most? airbrush hoses come with !/4 npt to 1/2 or 5/8 npt ends.
Standard compressor fittings can then be joined in as required.
Check out your brush to find out which ones you'll need.
As a guide, your set-up should go something along these lines;
1. Compressor
2. Airline
3. Water-trap / Pressure Regulator
4. Connector to Airbrush hose
5. connector to Airbrush

I think these are the basic [essential ] items you need to begin with.
Doubtless, I will have forgotten something, but I'm sure someone will correct this oversight.
Hope this helps you out.
