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...

Looks like the gauge has an HVLP type connector, you’d be better to change all your fittings to PCL, they’re much more durable. Not sure what connector is on the yellow hose, maybe its an odd budget-Chinese connector? I’m assuming you’ve shown the male hose connector for reference and the other end is female. Could you unscrew the connector from the old inflator and swap it into the new one?
