I own a Badger Compressor 180-11 connected to a TCP pressure regulator/water trap with another Badger hose going to a Badger Crescendo 175. I just purchased a Master Airbrush G233. My thought was to somehow have quick disconnect on both airbrushes with an adaptor on the hose that would accept both.

After spending hours on TCP and Chicago Airbrush sites and talking to the reps (whose accents were both VERY hard to understand) I am back where I started.

Does anyone out there run a similar setup or have more knowledge on the subject to explain what I need to buy to sort this out.

Thanks for listening.

This might be what they were talking about: Air Hose Quick Connects

Even better: Grex Micro Air Control Valve. This works really well for quick disconnect and on-the-fly pressure control.

Stephen,

As Mike pointed out,you need the Badger 51-042 quick connect set
for any Badger airbrush and you also need an Iwata type male
connect plug for your Master airbrush so that it will connect to
the Badger hose fitting.

https://www.coastairbrush.com/products.asp?cat=305

The Master uses the Iwata type fitting(Scroll down to product no: I-160-4 Iwata/Tamiya quick connect)

These will allow both your airbrushes to connect to the Badger hose.

Cheers,
Joe
