the fluted connector is for a hose....quick disconnects should be easy to get for all types of airbrushes.....they all use the same basic idea....and hook up to same hose adapter...

thank you Lochsa for your reply,

that is exactly the point, they do not hook up, if you continue looking at the pictures, they do not fit. As a matter of fact I tried inserting the smaller quick connect into the sleeve and connect to the airbrush, the air leaks as it is not a tight seal.

post a picture of your hose fitting ...the kit in the link has a quick disconnect for the hose and that should make the system work...

i believe that the picture 2 is not a quick connect. that one is used when you have a bulk hose that you cut to the length toy want to use.

@ Lochsa River, I have posted the hose, but that is not the issue. The issue is the that quick connect does not fit the the airbrush, look at the quick connect in picture 3, it is smaller. In addition, the sleeve does not fit the the quick connect, and it leaks.

@Spanjaard, thank you for the video, yes. This solves the issue with badger airbrushes, which I have one of. The dilemma I have is again slightly different. The picture you sent above helps shed light on the issue. Thank you
