My Viair pressure switch has a 1/8" male connector. My tank has 1/4" fittings...Any ideas where I can find an adapter? Home Depot has even less options than harbor freight.
source for air hose connectors?

Lowes near me always has good selection. Napa also.

Lowes doesn't have the little ones, I'll try NAPA, thanks.
-
No luck at NAPA, either.
-
Granger in New Castle should have them in stock. If not, they can usually get stuff next day.
-
Didn't know there was a Grainger locally, thanks. Sears doesn't have it, either. The guy at NAPA suggested Benz Hydraulics, they close at noon tomorrow so I'll try to get up early.

All you need is a 1/4x1/8 adapter, sometimes called a hex bushing.
Any hardware store should have them.

Yeah, Hares Corner in the industrial park by the post office. I'm spoiled by having Felton Hardware down here, I got everything to plumb my air compressor there.
-
I had trouble finding one too and used amazon.

I actually bought this very one, too.

Felton Hardware is the best. Go there all the time. Good people. -

Did you use that for an air locker or for a pressure switch? That's 1/8 BSP thread, I think that's on ARB lockers. There's a different part from viair for 1/8 NPT but it's not Prime and I dunno if it'll get here before I leave.
-
good eye jerry..that is BSP thread on the one linked. that is what ARB uses (i bought a tap and made my own)
i find it hard to believe you can't find a 1/8-1/4 npt bushing. i have bought several through the years for stuff at work. always went to home depot.

I guess my problem was I was only looking for air tool stuff. I got a bushing from True Value earlier. Thanks, Keith!
