Badger Air-Brush Co. 51-042 QD Coupler,Brass

Another quality badger product. Quality build and performance, should not have waited so long to purchase product.

This quick disconnect is an essential accessory for your Badger airbrush. Allows you to quickly remove the airbrush from your air supply. One thing that isn’t so apparent from the product photo is that there is a 1/8” to Badger adapter on the femal disconnect. This means you could remove it and use any standard 1/8” airbrush hose and not a Badger specific one. If I had known that I would purchased a generic hose, but not a large deal. I also like that they make male connectors for other brands of airbrush. I can use my Paasche airbrush, with purchased adapter, without having to change air supply hoses. A well thought out product!

This is a well engineered adapter that enables a quick connect/disconnect of an airbrush from the compressor hose. It is a smooth connection that does not leak air at the connection joint.

Works perfectly (with the companion Badger Air-Brush Co. 51-038 Quick Disconnect Plug) for my Badger 360 airbrush and Paasche D3000 air compressor.

Works great and was easy to install. Beware that you may not get what is shown in the picture. The one I did not come with the reducer. Just be ready to have to buy one.

item arrived on time and in good condition.

Helps air brushes with disconnecting, feels solid and doesn’t leak.

There's nothing to dislike about this fitting set. For those who are inexperienced with air hoses (just as with plumbing, etc.), snag up a pair of teflon tape rolls (plumbing tape, which can be acquired for dirt cheap), wrap the male-end threads (the ones on your airbrush and on the fitting which attaches to the hose, also the threads on the compressor), and THAN thread everything together. On a side note, Badger designed this set to work with not only their own hoses, but pretty well every other also. The Badger thread piece, which normally screws into the hose, can be unscrewed so that the fitting can fit other hose sizes. I use mine with a Master compressor and hose, as well as not only this Badger QD for my Patriot 105, but also a Badger QD for Paasche and some Master QD fittings as well. Having taken the noted steps, I've absolutely zero problems and just plain love this thing. I'll gladly buy more of the fittings (at least the QD for the brushes anyway) when I get my other Badger brushes, too. Hands-down, though, grade-a product right here, and well worth the $.
