Air in the garage

Does anyone know what type of air fitting I'd need to get to hook up an air hose in the north garages? I have a shit ton of air tools and It'd be nice to be able to use them if needed. Plus filling my tires would be nice.

Thanks!

They are a standard female quick release. Pretty sure it's 1/4 " standard. My non-industrial air hoses work.

You need to bring you own hose. The air is your basic hard line drops with a female quick release. I suggest a 25' to easily reach your whole garage. Garage 1 North and the scales bay in center have hoses to fill tires.

Chris, I love you.

I'm glad we're neighbors

1/4 standard, not familiar with that size, but I'll see what I can find. I have a 50' air hose, so that'll cover garages 9, 10 and 11. The cordless tools are cool, but much too quiet.

And I love all my garage mates and neighbors!

The same size that's on your tools. If your hose came with the fittings on it, that size.

I'm pretty sure they're 1/4". When I need to buy more, I just grab them since I know 'em by sight. They could be 1/2" but 1/4" sticks in my aging brain.

This is getting to be like somebody's first camping trip. Bring matches.

Worst case, I'll have my hand held compressor handy.

Ummm, none of my air tools came with fittings. I've always been supplied them from my work. I just got here(the track) and brought 4 different style fittings. None of them work. I'll just ask someone who has an air hose connected.

1/4"standard Industrial Air Tool Fitting

I don't use a ton of air tools but it's the only quick connect I've ever seen or used anywhere.

Common house hold, not common to industrial, like body shops, mechanics, etc. Every time I need to borrow a tool I don't have,
I have to change the adapter.

ah, gotcha. they misled me with the description:

Husky 1/4 In. NPTF, Industrial Plug, 1/4 In.

those tricky home depot bastards, deceiving people into buying $1.50 hose fittings that don't work.

They work GREAT if your house is plumbed for them. The issue is there seems to be no standard and everyones are different. It sucks.
