how to make a airbrush manifold.

well i just got back from buying my 3rd airbrush and was thinking how much of a pain its going to be to keep switching the hose on the compressor.

so i went to homies and got some 1/4" gas pipe and made a manifold out of it.

i used 5 2" 1/4 nipples 2 1/4 tee's and 1 1/4" 90.

all it cost to make was $6.00 now i have 3 guns ready to go .

Nice job. I purchased a 3 way quik disconnect from Harbor freight. Works great.

nice set up.

Why is it that the wall behind your desk is not 300 different colors? You using a down draft table?

Hope you have a dryer prior to those black malleable fittings and black steel nipples because if you don't it WILL rust on the inside,,,,

good idea but.......

Like others said RUST
Even with the dryer I would hate to have to worry about the BI flaking off on the inside


for $15 I would get this
