Using a 1/2″ rubber hose in a compressor with 1/4″ air outlet?
Thanks to those who answered my previous threads. This final query would do the trick:
I’ve decided to go and use 1/2in rubber hoses for my compressor since it delivers 140psi. I understand that these hoses come with 3/8″ fittings
My impact tool has an inlet connection size of 1/2″ and my compressor’s air outlet measures 1/4″.
Is it ok to plug in a 1/2″ diameter hose to a 1/4″ air outlet and what kind of coupler do I need? Will this have an effect on pressure output?
Since the hose fitting is 3/8in (9.5mm), how do I connect it to my impact tool which has an inlet size of 1/2″. I am going to use a 1/4″ NPT quick-connect coupler (Going to Federal tom morning)
Note: I found in my basement a converter from 3/8 in to 1/4″, can I use this on my hose to connect to my compressor?
The impact tool will either take a 1/4 fitting or a 3/8 fitting
you screw a male quick connect fitting into your impact tool..
If you have a half inch hose with factory fittings,it will have 3/8 fitting…. you put a female quick connect fitting on the hose that is also 3/8…
use teflon tape …DO NOT ATTACH THE FEMALE FITTING TO THE TOOL….it will trap air in the tool
plug the male fitting into the female fitting
You can get all the fittings you need at Harbor Freight for less than 10.00
