I bought an air line (and air duster) off ebay. I expeced the line to have ends that would fit onto the duster and my paint gun and my compressor. The line has plain brass ends. What do I need to fit them together? Rescued attachment AirLine.JPG

Something like this in all likelihood (though some tools have bigger threads than others)

ebay linky

to connect that orange line to the blower you need a special thingy. It looks like a nut but with a slot cut in the side to allow the hose to slip in before tightening.

I can post piccy but the thingy is at home.

Dunno where you get one from but it came as part of my B&Q nail gun.

If its the bit that 02GF74 mentions - i have a couple in the garage that i dont need, u2u your address and i will pop em in the post for you.
Not sure where to buy them from but i got given some when i needed to attach fittings to my curly airline.
Let me know if you need them, regards Andy

I always take off whatever they come with and fit CPL fittings which are industry standard and available everywhere.

It is meant to be for air tools.
