Air hose adapter

[Frank S]

A tire on my big forklift looked too low to move it without it coming unbeaded This is a tire that I had re[placed just prior to having the forklift brought to me, since I haven't used it in a few months I am guessing the guy who mounted it may not have replaced the large O ring on the 4 piece rim or there was still some dirt or debris he didn't get cleaned properly. Just one more thing I will have to attend to eventually or call a tire man to repair it, which I may do because I am not really into the idea of pulling a 500 lb tire any time soon.
My 150 feet of air hose wouldn't reach si I plugged in my booster tank with its 50ft of half inch air hose only then I needed a way to reduce down to be able to plug in my 3/8 air hose A 1/2" male quick connector a 3/8 female quick connector and a couple of fittings later I was able to reach the forklift.


The nice thing about it, now I can run my little sandblaster off of the 1/2" hose

I have a few adapters,(Aro & Nitto are the most common here), male-female, male-male, female-female in both Aro and Nitto and combinations thereof but a number of other styles as well and in different sizes.
Probably the most used are the male-male ones for pumping up brake tanks on trucks.

I'd be happy to send you a fitting to make that more compact...

I probably had one in my truck air brake fittings, Also after I was through with it and putting it away in the drawer with my impacts, I noticed my 3/4drive has a Nipple and the 1/2" male connector has female threads I could have swapped them out with each other done away with the nipple on the impact and the coupler on the adapter. I probably have a female 3/8 coupler with a male thread as well. then I would only need the bushing. However in its current configuration it is less likely to be misplaced due to its size
