Product Description

By adapting any standard Badger air hose to a QD quick disconnect, it makes it possible to use any Badger air hose (includes the 51-038 QD male version).

If you use more than one airbrush, this is essential for you. It is designed to connect to a standard Badger airbrush hose (with adapters for varying brands) and thread one airbrush off and the next airbrush on when changing airbrushes.

A quick disconnect system is one of the most efficient and time-saving ways to finish production. An airbrush with a quick disconnect coupler and male male quick disconnect makes changing air brushes a breeze a quick disconnect system reduces changeover time and boosts efficiency.

The Badger Air-Brush Company is an American manufacturing company. Produces quick disconnects for all major airbrush brands, making the QD coupler an accessory that can be used

Questions & Answers

My Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline airbrush connects to my Badger braided airbrush hose with this product. Can I connect my airbrush with this product?

In case you have male and female threads on your Harder and Steenbeck that are the same as that of a Badger airbrush, In order to measure the diameter of the air input thread, you can check the badger website or measure the airbrush you intend to connect.

A TC-52 was bought for me The airbrush compressor is a 20t master model with a Will this coupler work with a hose (I believe it's a ?

You should be able to use it if you have an 1/8" connector. There is a hose and brush that Iwata makes that works very well.

How does the spring work on this?

I don't think there is a It is threaded on one side for connection to the air hose and on the other side for connection to the air brush.

When the airflow is cut off, does this stop the flow of air?

The answer is yes. My life was so much easier because of this

The perfect addition to your Badger airbrush! Your Badger airbrush will not function properly without this quick disconnect

5/5

The rapid removal of the airbrush from your air supply is possible. A feature that is not apparent in the photo is that there is an adapter from 1/8" to Badger on the femal connector, so you could remove it and use any standard 1/8" airbrush hose instead of the Badger-specific It was not a large deal, but had I known it, I would have purchased a generic hose. Furthermore, I like that they make female connectors so that I can use other brands of airbrushes as well. Due to the acquired adapter, I do not need to change air supply hoses when using my Paasche airbrush. This is a well thought out product.

The words can be used as an adapter as well as a It was exactly what I needed to connect my new Zeny air compressor to my The first time I ordered it, I was not sure whether it would meet my needs

5/5

This is a Badger adapter that I am looking for. This quick release is a much better buy and just what I was looking for, at about the same price. The attached photos provide a better understanding of the situation.

like it a lot! This is a great fitting set that can't be criticized

5/5

If you do not know how to deal with air hoses (and plumbing, too), grab a pair of teflon tape rolls (the plumbing tape that can be acquired for dirt cheap). Wrap the male-end of the hose by it, then connect it. You must thread the airbrush end threads (the ones on the airbrush and the fitting that attaches to the hose, as well as the threads on your compressor) and THAN you must thread the airbrush end threads. Aside from that, Badger designed this to work with not only their own hoses, but with many other hoses in general. A Badger thread piece, which normally screws on to the hose, may be unscrewed so that a fitting can be adapted to other sizes of hose. Mine comes with a Master compressor and hose as well as this Badger QD and a Badger QD for Paasche, in addition to some Master QD fittings. The following steps were followed by me and I have no problems and am a huge fan of the device itself. I'm happy to buy more fittings (at least the QD for the brushes anyway) when I get my other Badger brushes as well. Using your hands Despite that, my grade went down I am really pleased with this product, and I think it is.

Badger airbrushes should not be without this accessory! Every Badger airbrush user should have a quick disconnect- it makes the airbrush much easier to use Use this convenient quick disconnect to reduce wearing on the airbrush threads

5/5

It is ideal for multiple airbrush setups, as well as a single setup. There are no air leaks, and it is durable. On my Badger Patriot 105, I have this installed. You are right An airbrush compressor and an airbrush You are right The threads of hoses, etc) should be taped tightly to ensure the threads are airtight and leak proof (also known as PTFE tape or pipe tape).

I found the quality to be poor

3/5

My kit has been around for just under a year and I have not been able to replace the air brushes without it breaking. I just noticed that mine has been leaking, and now it won't close once the airbrush has been In my opinion, the Badger adapter is pretty much your only choice if you use it. Adapter needs some better components. I like their brushes, but I would like better components in this adapter.

The airbrushes can be controlled from a single air source, which is great for multiple airbrushes

5/5

Aside from the fact that it only comes with one "nipple", this QD installation is a breeze. We liked the smooth operation and the ease of installation. There is a need for additional nipples A bundle with at least two or more nipples (which are also available separately) would have been nice.

It works with both 1/2 inch and Badger You have to own a Badger Airbrush if you want to use this quick disconnect coupler

5/5

just one quick pull of the release valve, the brush pops right off so you can add fresh soap and water. I have never experienced any leaks with this quick disconnect, and it's better quality than my previous ones. What makes this product great is that it allows you to use your standard 1/4-inch hose without having to buy an adapter or Badger hose to use it. By unscrewing the Badger Male end, you will find a standard 1/4 inch coupler underneath! This is brilliant!.

This hose is a great way to connect a Badger airbrush to a Master Airbrush

5/5

purchased this as a replacement for the Master Airbrush adapter I purchased to link a Master Airbrush hose to the Badger 200 air brush I purchased. I was delighted to discover that there is no need to add an adapter to this Badger product. My only need was to remove the portion that might hook up to a Badger hose, and then I was able to screw it on to a If you don't know how to use the quick release, it requires a bit of tugging to remove it. I suppose this is a good thing once you get used to it.
