OK... I think I've got everything I need for my compressor

Post by CaptainHawk1 »

Sans the airbrush (one thing at a time here, I really don't need a replacement one right now as I'm not doing anything that requires airbrushing).

My compressor is a 100 psi Campbell Hausfield with a 1 gallon tank. I got a regulator, a quick connect kit and filter.

Did I get everything I needed? I'm asking because though the peg said it was "Quick Connect" kit at the Home depot the package does not. And though it doesn't specifically say that it is a moisture trap, the filter says it traps water on the back.

Thanks.

We'll get into airbrushes and adapters another time.

That's exactly what you need.

Notice on both of those parts, you'll see an arrow for air flow direction--pay attention to it.

Also, I've got my air source going into the filter first, then the regulator, then the airbrush. I read somewhere that's the way to do it. Make sure you use teflon tape...

Got plenty of teflon tape for the various plumbing projects I've done.

Thanks for the tips!
