can somebody please tell me EXACTLY what coupler to use at the fast-connect end of this compressor. The folks at Northstar first got me to purchase a Milton V-style (s765) - that didn't fit - and are now suggesting an A-style coupler ( s213). Milton...

The Milton S213 is a 5-piece kit and will have all the fittings you need to connect a hose to the coupler that comes pre-installed on this compressor. You can also find fitting kits at any big box store such as Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight. HF fittings are cheap, but tend to leak. Have had good luck with the ones from HD. Hope this helps.

I do not know, I use the standard connectors Thomas & Betts Snap-N-Seal RG-59 & RG-6. In the Ideal website, the compressors for RG-59 BNC part # 92-704 are: Omniseal Pro Xl Connector Compression Tool (30-793) Omniseal Pro Connector Compression Tool (30-603) Linear Compression Tool (33-632) $29.00 is the cheaper and according to amazon made &#8203;&#8203;in USA.

You are correct. A quick disconnect kit should get you the pieces you need.If your compressor is equipped with a connector or disconnect you will need to know what style it is to get the proper fitting. Also you will need to be sure you get a female fitting for the hose and a male fitting for your air tool.

Standard air hose quick connect works. Any compressor supply company carries it. Home Depot even has the quick connect fitting for it.

The coupler on my two guns fits a standard zerk. A good coupler will lock on the fitting under pressure so as not to squirt the grease out the sides. Ive never ripped the head off a good quality steel fitting and therefore would be more suspect of the harbor freight fitting than the guns coupler. You could get a low quality coupler for a couple bucks but it will wear out quickly and in those one handed hard to reach places it will leak grease between it and the fitting. Sorry to hear you had trouble, I can only tell you that I found these to be some of the better affordable grease guns out there. The coupler on my two guns fits a standard zerk.

I did the same thing, filling race tires with a standard hose and quick connect. It's been some time, but I recall having to put the regulator in to my vise, gently/carefully, but it did break free eventually. I looked at adapters, I seem to recall some issue with those.

the connectors it is talking about are to connect the hoses and tools to the compressor. you cannot connect a 1/4" hose directly to the compressor, but they make "kits" that have all kinds of adapters for attaching to accessories so that you can inflate all kinds of balls, tires, small swimming pools, etc., etc. If you JUST want to connect a 1/4" hose and nothing else, you need to go to a hardware store and they can find the proper fittings to reduce the line down to 1/4". I tried to use mine for my airbrush but it was way too noisy to use in the house for that. hope this helps?

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

I'm just guessing, I think the compressor pulls too many amps for this small adapter to handle. I would locate a local shop who deals in compressors and get their expert opinion on the type of adapter to purchase.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

I strongly recommend that female should be on the supply (compressor) side. The female side has a valve incorporated in order to shutoff airflow when disconnected. I would not put the male on the compressor side because it will release all the air when you disconnect the hose or tool. Very loud, annoying and hose whip from the rapid air release can be a bit hazardous, at least it is no fun in lager hose sizes. These are universal among the common air couplings, sometime called industrial standard. Other standards exist, but you probably wont find them in garages or on consumer air compressors.

The maker of the compressor should have included a plastic bag full of extra fittings. Most air hoses end with a male threaded fitting and then you have to put on a female coupler so you can quickly change tools on the compressor. The tire guage even has a male thread end that you have to put a female coupler on so you can stick it in the end of your compressor hose. If the compressor did not have these accessories included, you can pick up a 15 or 17 piece compressor accessorie kit at sears or maybe even wal-mart. If I can explain further, please contact me back to clarify.

Karcher uses the M22 style coupler on this, so if your user manual doesn't state what type (and it probably won't, because how dare you try to adapt something other than genuine xxx parts.;) look up replacement hose images for Karcher or M22 and see if what you have matches.

Hello Rich. What is the original compressor you are replacing? The J7 is the trade channel the compressor is sold under.

yes it should work with any compressor. That said, the coupler leaks air and with a portable compressor with its limited tank capacity, it means that the compressor motor will turn on more frequently. This kit was too unreliable for me and I ended up buying a quality parts separately.

ok thanks, anyway should be alot better than the three liter compressor i bought and it went bad, off ebay, sticking with Amazon now

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.
