Air line couplings aaaaahhhhhh....

[alanambrose]

Hmmm,

I can't make sense of the apparent panoply of air line couplings. I have recently purchased a compressor and a tiny pencil grinder from Germany and also a Fogbuster kit from US (although sourced from Sorotec Germany). I need to get some kind of splitter and an oiler for the die grinder. I guess the compressor and die grinder have some kind of Euro fitting and the Fogbuster some kind of US fitting - none of the manufacturers specify which kind - they just seem to assume you'll know. Most of the UK-available stuff seems to be BSP, of course.

How do I make sense of this stuff ? :) - I've tried a bunch of reading and web browsing - all I'm finding is more connector types - which isn't helping any. For instance for 'Euro' connector, I find this:



- which is really not helping. Some advice?

TIA, Alan
