Extending an air line

[Skyedriver]

At the moment, I pull the compressor across the garage floor in order that I can blow up tyres outside the garage.
I'm wanting to fix the existing braided air line around the wall of the garage, terminating at the doors, and then put the tyre inflator onto a new "coily" type airline.
Pic of existing fittings, what do I need please. It's an Aldi set up about 5 years old, my older air lines and inflator are different ends. Are the new ones "European"?

Those look like Euro couplings. Converters to/from PCL are very easy to get - I’d suggest that you fit the same couplings as on the compressor itself to the end of your plumbed-in line, then adapt where necessary.

The coil (orange spring type) line are a bit horrid but are cheap - one of the retractable type self rewinding ones would be a big improvement if possible!

Have a look in Toolstation. They have loads of fittings and even speedfit type pipe of you wanted to use that attached to the wall.

If I get a tool and it comes with a different fitting, they are very easy and cheap to change, just unscrew the fitting. I stick with the PCL type as that's what was on my compressor and most of the air tools I started with.

A retractable hose would be your best solution mine near the door. Also available in toolstation.

Machine Mart are good for air lines and fittings. If it was me I'd convert all of the couplings to the normal PCL style ones.

Over the years I have acquired from Aldi et al a cable real type air extension lead and 2 air accessory packs one of which contained multiple connector types and adaptors.
I made up a sort adaptor hose using reinforced clear hose with the requisite male and female ends. Simple
