air compressor/line fittings

[heisthegaffer]

Hi all

I have an air compressor which use for the normal things but I wish to fit my garage out to feed from the compressor which is at one end (has two outputs - apologies if not the tech term!) so an airline runs round my garage attached to the wall with a connector by my work bench and another on an external wall where I park the car.

I have had a look at srewfix and clarke tools but neither seem to do an external fitting?

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Most of the ones I've seen in garages have metal pipe running round the wall with T-pieces at strategic intervals fitted with female couplings to plug your airhose into.

To connect your compressor to the pipe just use a short length of airhose on the end of the pipe with a male coupling to plug into the compressor female connector to do the job. Also stops vibration.

plenty of airline couplings on ebay that would suit your needs

"John guest" air line is what you need search it on ebay etc.

It can be used to provide any number of airline networks big and small with as many hookups as you need, at work I have maybe 20 points on a large ring.

It is all nylon tube with push fit joints so very little tooling required to install, I fitted mine about 10 years ago and have never needed to do any repairs to the intalation and it gets used hard every day!!
