Imagine a world where most UA-cam videos were like this. Thank you for being so informative, helpful, and for getting right to the point. Just what I needed!
Yeah, but I miss the head-banging metal rock at the beginning, a guy with spiked hair and a username that is something like, "Hidden Death Traps From Hell."
I'm visiting your video 3 years after you posted it. I've done nothing but research on how to do this hook-up, since I already have a pancake compressor, and I found no information on how and I didn't want to buy a craft/hobby style compressor. Thank you for making my day!
Thank You, this is exactly the info I was loking for. Straight to the point with pics of it assembled, not needlessly talking forever with no point. Thumbs up.
@Troy Castles Yeah me too. I have a very mechanically-inclined family, with 3 shop compressors. I'm of course the more artistically-inclined, and I had been hearing a bunch of conflicting info about using them for airbrushing, so this was incredibly helpful!
Out of all videos showing how to set up an airbrush to a big compressor, this is the Best. Brief, easy to understand. I like how you showed each step and specified each part. Thank you
Functionally operates just as it should ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Straight to the point without all the useless commentary. Of course I want to use my good shop compressor for my airbrush! Who wants to buy another small compressor just for the airbrush. You would think this was rocket science from trying to research this before finding this video.
Thank you for your video. I want to use Airbrush for car touch-up paint and was looking at an airbrush kit even if I have the same Porter-Cable pancake compressor. As you mentioned, it is hard to find proper information for connecting an airbrush to a ''normal'' compressor. Glad that I find your video :) You make my day.
Nice video. I would add it's important to understand the difference between 1/4, 1/8-- NPT versus BSP fittings. All fittings at Home Depot are NPT, USA in general. The BSP fittings commonly used in air brushes are slightly different threading, so give a loose fit if connected to a NPT connector. That's why you will see people using yellow pipe tape. "BSPT Connections. BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread) is similar to NPT except for one important difference. The angle across the flanks of threads (if you sliced the fitting in half long-ways and measured the angle from root to crest to root) is 55 degrees instead of 60 degrees as it is for NPT." The solution is tape or adaptors that you can find on fleaBay
I'm new to the airbrush/compressor world and figuring out what fitting goes where has been a struggle. I have no idea whether my iwata is NPT or BSP. You'd think it'd say somewhere on their friggin website.
You are a god send sir. Im a newbie to airbrushing and you just solved my issues on whether i should just get a dedicated airbrush compressor vs a regular one. Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. One note is that I like your idea of the m/m brass fitting but its located to closely to the tank. At that proximity the water is vapor and the filter will not catch it properly. I would change your setup to add in a 8 ft-25ft hose inbetween the tank and water filter. Try it and you will see moisture being caught by your filter. Thanks again👊😀
Great video, only suggestion would be to use a coalescing filter rather than just a inline filter and a lower range regulator. Coalescing filters are much finer filters, usually around .01micron and you should be able to order them at Home Depot or purchase at Granger. Follow the flow arrows on the filter for hooking it up. Also, when setting up I would go for a filter the next size larger and use a mounting bracket to mount it to your work bench instead of hanging it on the piping. The fitting to use and the one you show in the video is known as a, Standard Industrial connection, male and female. If you are new to this you can get couplers (the female side) that are push to connect(easy peasy) and shut off when the hose is disconnected. I would also add a regulator after the coalescing filter that has an adjustment range of 0-60 psi for better control again bench mount the whole thing with brackets to anchor it in place.
You seem to know your stuff, I'm having some trouble, I have a Testors Aztek but no hose for it, I have a Badger hose connected directly to my small air compressor, is there some kind of adapter for a Testors Aztek to Badger hose? I'd like to replace my Badger airbrush.
The Badger hose you have is NPT (National Pipe Threads). Many common airbrushes and hoses are BSP threads (British Standard Pipe Thread). So, it was easy for you, buy otherst using more common airbrushes made outside the USA will need adapters to connect their hoses and/or airbrushes to a Porter Cable or similar garage compressor.
Thank you for producing such a clear "how-to". I am returning to airbrush painting and as I own a bostitch compressor and many parts that survived my hiatus, this cleared a path for me. I heartily recommend your video may ABers regardless of their status.
Thanks so much for the info, and tips! Not only was it very helpful, but you just saved me on about half my bill, since shop compressors are in no short supply around my house!
THANK YOU!!!! SO helpful!! I was about to sell my compressor thinking I couldn't use it for airbrushing :) So clear and excellent. How any of us managed to do anything new before UA-cam is a mystery ;)
Thanks for showing your take on this! There have been a lot of new small shop compressors that are quiet (70-80 decibels) which can be had for around $200. When you compare that to dedicated airbrush quiet compressor & 1 liter tank for $300! Seems worth the hassle of doing the neck down to 1/4''.
This is mostly for us who already have shop compressor. But you can't carry shop compressor in middle of your house in order to do some art or in cosmetic shop... Or you can but it's not practical 😂
Great video. I’ve been heming and hawing on how to power my airbrush and given the cost of a dedicated airbrush compressor I think I’ll indeed just do this. In my case the pancake compressor will sit in the garage and quick connect to a line on the wall , that line runs though the ceiling to then exist in my hobby room where I’ll quick connect up the actual airbrush hose. So if the compressor comes in it’s not a floors with of sound dampening to me. The only addition is recommend is after oil and water trap out an airbrush pressure regulator. A third regulator I know. This one with a range of 1-50 or so. That way you can fine dial in the pressures as getting 5psi vs 13 vs 24 is hard on the shop compressor regulator. Again thanks for an excellent video.
dear thank you so much didnt want to have to buy another compressor i have a craftsman pancake style and a long hose i put it in the house in another room run the hose where i need it thank you so much just getting started with airbrushing on my drums and hot wheels and makeup your so down to earth easy to under stand hugs thanks so much nikki
It did help. I already have a plug for my full size air compressor in the new shop in case I needed air tools. A hose and water trap a lot cheaper than a dedicated hobby air compressor. Thanks.
Thank you so very much for this awesome video saved me from buying a cheap airbrush compressor and elimnated a lot of confussion on how to use a shop compressor for my airbrush.
Shopping list. 1/4 in Compressor filter. 1/4 in male to male Connector 1/4 in male to male Brass pipe - 4" long 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. NPT Male Industrial Brass Plug Quick connector. (May vary depending on compressor) Hose with 1/4 in fitting. Teflon tape.
I couldn't find any information anywhere EXCEPT here for regular air compressor and airbrush connection and this is the gold standard in information and presentation, concise short sweet to the point can't ask for more.
Amazing... this is 'exactly' what I needed, and as someone else expressed, its videos like this that make youtube an invaluable resource. You saved me at least $300 and maybe even more. I'm going to connect my pancake compressor that I use in my garage for most things to an Airbrush .
This exactly what I was looking for. What would have been helpful is to have links with information about each of the parts so I could just click on the link and order the parts.
Thanks for posting. This is what I want to do with my shop compressor. Then I can sell my little 1/5 HP airbrush compressor. My shop compressor has an 8 gallon tank. I looked at my Badger hose and the one end fits perfectly with a 1/4 inch fitting. However I have 2 airbrushes with quick connectors and want to use the non-Badger hose. So I will need 1 reducer from 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch male fitting coming out of the water trap. The Badger hose would fit the 1/4 inch fitting so now I have two options.
This is nearly identical to my current setup, without the 4" pipe. I used the quick-connect fittings directly on my filter/moisture trap. However, my Porter Cable is beginning to lose pressure and it was used before it was given to me, so I'm going to retire it for safety reasons. This has been a great setup however - when you're in the zone painting and that compressor cuts back on...whew! It can be a real shock. I've nearly dropped models and spilled paint a few times. Going to look for a quieter compressor next.
Great video, thanks much! I knew I was In the right place when you said everything was found at Home Depot! That was my biggest concern to that point - where to find the right fittings.
Thanks for the informative video sir. I had the right idea but was planning (still am?) to put the air brush hose downstream from the big rubber hose I already had for filling tires, cleaning computers etc. But doing it this way would make more sense, for one thing it would keep the filter right side up. Not sure if this is necessary but maybe I should have thought of that. I'll have to sit a lot closer to the compressor than I wanted but the setup here looks like the best option for my needs.
Thank you for the video, i got an airbrush with a tiny compressor that fits in your palm but can't push out paint unless it is really thin. So i am looking to hook it to a workshop air compressor
I'm new to airbrushing and this is the perfect setup for a beginner like myself without breaking the bank. Thanks a lot for the informative and to the point video.

Airbrushing at 30psi? Wow. For modelers, 12-20 is adequate. The regulator valve on that compressors is not fine enough, so I would want to ad a second, with the ranges needed for modeling. Great video though, thanks!
Thanks for your comments. Using the badger shown in the video, I have airbrushed between 25-30 psi with no issues, but there are a lot of variables. Of course, a "serious" modeler would likely have a better setup than an occasional airbrush user.
The regulator valve on that compressors is not fine enough,Yes! Also when one starts to spray the DPI will drop, so set your setting when you are spraying use a check setting airbrush valve at the in air-in-take on your airbrush and you will have the right setting for whatever it is you are working on.
This is something I've been pondering, adding a 2nd low-range but finely-controlled regulator. If someone else thought of this idea also, I choose to believe that means I'm not 100% crazy :) ... @blueholebob, thanks for the vid, shows it can be done, it really would be nice to just have one compressor to deal with for all the various tasks.
Siphon feed airbrushes like the one for this setup often reqire slightly higher pressure than the more popular gravity feed airbrushes for minature painting. In any case, if you are worried about the precision of the regulator you could purchase a combinatiom moisture trap/regulator, run 40psi or so off the compresser and knock it down further before it hits your airbrush.
Wanting to get into airbrushing but not sure what to get. I could buy a cheap combo or splurge on a good airbrush and just use my land landlords shop compressor.

Siphon feed airbrushes like the one for this setup often reqire slightly higher pressure than the more popular gravity feed airbrushes for minature painting.
