So, I haven't even had the chance to use my airbrush yet. I bought an Airbrush Depot air compressor, model TC 20T and wasn't aware I would need an adapter. So I bought what I thought was the correct adapter for my Paasche Talon TG (The simple one, not the fancy type) but the hose didn't fit and the adapter is the same exact size as the piece that you screw the hose into on the compressor. I'm a total noob and at this point, with all the shipping costs and everything, and quite frustrated. Can anyone please help me out, as I have no idea what I actually need in order to connect my airbrush hose with a 1/4" BSP (whatever that is) connector to my compressor? ::bangs head::
Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Hello Brandi,
If your airbrush was supplied with a hose that has two different fittings on
opposite ends, the larger of the two ends goes to the compressor and is
a 1/4 inch fitting. The specs for your compressor say that the fitting is a
1/8 BSP so you will have to step down the hose with a
male 1/4 BSP to female 1/8 BSP connector.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Joe
