Which one of these air compressors. Sorry!

Put some silicone on the threads, screw it in until seated, dress the squeezed out silicone with a piece of peeled spud, or wet finger, let cure. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Tank end, the one that you screw the hose and tools onto. With the regulator etc.

Do you mean the main delivery pipe from the pump or something associated with the regulator assembly ?

sorry, here is a pic. (different air compressor but same layout)

Basically its just a thread that doesnt seal properly. The one that connects to the hose and the one that if you look in you can see the pipe oopening and closing when you turn he air supply off and on using the small red screw handle thingy ma jig.


Do you think this would work?

I may have to do what HSGB said.

Thats just the semi quick release connector. The half on the hose has a threaded collar which screws onto the male thread from the compressor if I'm thinking of the correct type of fitting. Look carefully at the face of the hose fitting and there should be rubber O ring seal, if not, thats your problem. They are the nastiest air fittings around !

wouldnt surprise me.

Nope no o-ring, its a convertor that im trying to screw on, convert from 1/4 to a quick coupler connection.

Is it possible to change the hole lot for decent Quick Coupler connections?

 

[tigler]

With the appropriate adaptors it will be possible to convert to PCL or other QR couplers.
Ultimately the whole original and restrictive regulator could be replaced with a larger capacity version.

Have a converter now and the quick connections are so much better.

Still have to screw the converter on though .

Think i may have found a solution though. I brought some liquid thread seal. I then placed it over the thread, then wrapped teflon tape around the thread and the liquid thread seal and then added some more thread seal over the teflon.

Just tried it a couple of hours after doing it and so far they haven't leaked, haven't ramped up the pressure yet as i am going to leave it over night.

hi there, i have an air master 8/25 tiger turbo, is this oil free? i am trying to look up the cfm of this compressor. is it 7.8cfm like the newer 8/44?

i just saw this post from tigler, my air compressor is missing a second regulator that screws into the 1/4" BSP pipe, what advantages would a larger capacity version have and would it be suitable for this compressor? or should i just get the stock regulator for this particular model?

also, i need to get another fan, it's missing. the fan seems to have cut into the outer bore of the piston slightly, also the back cover is missing.

Dont worry about taking the compressor upstairs get a vaccum cleaner and suck up the dust not blow it around.
