Product Information
Full details
This 3m black airbrush hose is designed for airbrush artists using common 1/8 BSP connections, offering flexibility for most air compressor setups. Its primary benefit is reliable connectivity with a wide range of popular airbrush brands. A minor consideration is the need for potential adaptors if your airbrush uses a non-standard connection.

FAQs
What does 1/8 BSP mean?
1/8 BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a common thread size used for pneumatic fittings, widely adopted in the airbrush industry for its air intake connections.
Will this hose fit my airbrush?
It will fit most airbrushes with a standard 1/8 BSP connection. Brands like Harder & Steenbeck, Grex, and Iwata commonly use this size. If your airbrush has a different fitting, you may need an adaptor.
How long is the hose?
The hose measures approximately 3 meters (about 9.8 feet) in length.
Can I use this hose with any air compressor?
Yes, as long as your air compressor has a compatible outlet fitting, typically also 1/8 BSP. If the compressor outlet is a different size, an adaptor will be required.
Is the hose durable?
Yes, it is constructed from braided rubber, designed for flexibility and resistance to kinking and general wear.
What color is the hose?
The hose is black.
Where can I find adaptors for different connection sizes?
Adaptors for various connection sizes are typically available from specialist airbrush suppliers or online retailers.
Troubleshooting
Air leak at connection point
Ensure the 1/8 BSP threads are clean and free of debris. Tighten the connection slightly. If the leak persists, check if an adaptor is needed or if the thread on the airbrush/compressor is damaged.
Hose feels stiff
Allow the hose to warm up to room temperature if it has been stored in a cold environment. Gentle flexing can also help restore suppleness.
Airflow seems restricted
Check both ends of the hose for any obstructions. Ensure the connections to the airbrush and compressor are fully open and not partially blocked.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible and durable braided rubber material.
- Standard 1/8 BSP fittings ensure broad compatibility.
- Generous 3-meter length for ease of use.
- Designed to work with most common airbrush brands.
- Adaptors are available for non-standard connections.
Cons
- May require an adaptor for airbrushes with non-1/8 BSP fittings.
- Braided material can sometimes be stiffer than silicone hoses in very cold temperatures.
- Length might be too long for very small workspaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your airbrush hose, simply screw one 1/8 BSP end into the air intake port of your airbrush and the other end into the compressor's air outlet. Ensure both connections are snug but do not overtighten, which could damage the threads.
Compatibility: This hose uses standard 1/8 BSP fittings, which are compatible with most modern airbrushes from brands such as Harder & Steenbeck, Grex, and Iwata. If your airbrush or compressor has a different connection size (e.g., 1/4" or M5), you will need to purchase an appropriate adaptor.
Care: To maintain the hose, wipe it clean with a slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or excessive heat. Store the hose loosely coiled to prevent kinking and prolong its flexibility.
