Adapters and Fittings – Essential Airbrushing Accessories

Assembling an airbrushing kit often involves connecting equipment from different manufacturers. The airbrush, hose, and compressor may have different thread types, making a direct connection impossible. This is where adapters and fittings play a crucial role. These are small but incredibly important components that allow you to create a sealed and fully functional painting system. Thanks to them, you can easily connect, for example, a hose with a G1/4 inch thread to an airbrush with a G1/8 inch thread, which is a very common scenario in model making. Investing in the right fitting is a simple way to avoid compatibility issues and ensure a comfortable workflow.

How to Choose the Right Fitting for Your Setup?

Choosing the right adapter depends on which components you want to connect. The most important thing is to check the thread sizes and types on your equipment – manufacturers usually provide this information in the technical specifications. The most common standards in airbrushing are G1/8" threads (standard on most airbrushes) and G1/4" threads (often found on the compressor or regulator outlet). Our offer includes various types of fittings: reducers (which change the thread size), nipples (connecting two female-threaded components), and couplings (connecting two male-threaded components). Quick-disconnect fittings are particularly useful, allowing you to instantly attach and detach the airbrush from the hose without screwing and unscrewing threads, which significantly streamlines the workflow when using multiple airbrushes.
