Does the hose use a proprietary fitting (connecting from the compressor to the hose) or can I use a standard air hose w/ this compressor?&#xFEFF;

The quick disconnect on the 300P compressor appears to be a standard fitting. Not having one handy, I called Viaair (very quick to get them on the phone, kudos!) and their tech support advised that while not all of their portable compressors take standard quick disconnects, the 300P uses a standard "industrial" style quick disconnect that should fit most air hoses used for air tools and tire inflators. They actually recommend doing this if the 300P will be used in freezing, or colder, temperatures, since the included coiled air hose would be too stiff and brittle.

the connectors it is talking about are to connect the hoses and tools to the compressor. you cannot connect a 1/4" hose directly to the compressor, but they make "kits" that have all kinds of adapters for attaching to accessories so that you can inflate all kinds of balls, tires, small swimming pools, etc., etc. If you JUST want to connect a 1/4" hose and nothing else, you need to go to a hardware store and they can find the proper fittings to reduce the line down to 1/4". I tried to use mine for my airbrush but it was way too noisy to use in the house for that. hope this helps? the connectors it is talking about are to connect the hoses and tools to the compressor. you cannot connect a 1/4" hose directly to the compressor, but they make "kits" that have all kinds of adapters for attaching to accessories so that you can inflate all kinds of balls, tires, small swimming pools, etc., etc. If you JUST want to connect a 1/4" hose and nothing else, you need to go to a hardware store and they can find the proper fittings to reduce the line down to 1/4".

You can use the sleeve adapter the connect it with the OEM hose attached to canister. Connecting the canister requires a clip lock on the hose which this doesn't have.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

I just connected it directly to the hose on my automatic pool vacuum. Basically I have one section of the hose directly connected to the vacuum inlet, then the canister then the rest of the hose connected from the other side of the canister. No special fittings.

A standard size air compressor hose. You can purchase one at a local builders supply or auto parts store. take compressor and let them match your coupling connectors.

Thanks for your interest in this product. We do not carry the air compressors, but I can tell you that the correct air fittings would be Amflo C1, C2, CP1 and CP2.

Yes the connection is standard. BTW be sure to tighten all the hose clamps before installing. I didn't and several months later it started leaking like crazy. Not a big deal totake it down and tighten the clamps but better to not have to.

The compressor has two standard 1/4" female coupler connections on the compressed air outlet. Use a standard 1/4" male coupler and push it in until it locks. To release, push the locking collar back on the female connection.With no air pressure, the connections work easily, with air pressure it is somewhat more difficult to make the connection.

The hose fit my Iwata airbrush with no problems but the male connector on my compressor was too small, I had to use a 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor for the hose to connect.

The air hose has a standard quick release. You could connect any air operated device. The compressor does not have much of a storage tank so I don't think you would get a prolonged high pressure blast from it but it might work if you just need to blow something out quickly. You would be better off with a compressor with a large tank if you need lots of high pressure air for cleaning or running air tools. This compressor is really for inflating tires and does that extremely well.

The size of air hose is up to you. You need to provide the standard 1/4" NPT connector or I guess any other fitting you prefer.

No You will have to Modifie the end of the hose to fit the compressor fitting .

we use a shopvac with the hose on the side that blows out. we have attachments that fit from a small bower.

The hose comes with 1/4 male threaded on both ends so you' need to buy quick release couple or female adapterdepending on what comes off the compressor ...

Sure. What I did with mine was to remove the hose, and hooked up a quick connect receptacle. That way I can connect anything at all to it, from an air chuck, to an air gun, whatever.
