Air line tyre compressor help please

[Graham-ur8ib]

Hi - seeking advice please.

The gauge on my tyre inflator packed up. The compressor is still fine so I bought a new (better) gauge...only problem is how to connect the air line to the new gauge...seems I need some kind of adapter but which type ? Any advice very gratefully received - thankyou.

See picture...

Thanks - just not sure what to order though

Neither do I Though you might be able to send them your photo and ask if they have an adapter though.

Got a Machine Mart near you? Take both halves into there. The easiest solution if you've only got the one tool needing to be plugged in is to chop the old fitting off the hose, and put a matching connector on. If you've got several tools to swap between, then you should be able to change the connector on the inflator.

Thank you

Can you swap the fitting from your old one?

On my air tools, they all have male ends...

The compressor itself has female couplings and the airline has male and female.

What's on the other end of your air line, same connector?

The most common air tool connections are PCL or PCL XF. Your one on the left is a PCL XF male. The one on the right - no idea, not seen one like that before.

As Davie said you'd normally have a quick release female on the compressor and your hose would have a male one end, female the other. Male end on the hose goes into the compressor leaving you the female (socked) on the other end to insert tools.

Screwfix surprisingly sell a decent range of fittings (search for PCL or air hose etc) but not sure where you'll find anything to fit that crazy-arse brass connector.
