Hey guys, i bought this new blowgun for my inline, and i found that only one side has 10mm threads, the other side is smaller.

the side that is too small needs to connect to my pipe, which i managed to fit over the 1/4" nipple(which was an effort) and i was just wondring if you suggest any way that i can connect the pipe to the small end of the blow gun, here are some pics

Whole Blowgun:


Big side:


Small side:


if you know of any ideas, dont hesitate to post them.

thanks.

i have that blow gun and i think its a 1/8'' thread, so you would need a 1/8'' nipple.

note- i said "i think"

okay. Im from australia are they very common?

Probably man, I'll have to check through my family's sheds. I'll get back to ya on it.

thanks alot man

check your air compressor, it will probably have 1/8'' threads somewhere on it. it is a very common size here in US, but i dont know about in Australia. your hardware store should have it because they had the blow gun. it wouldn't make sense for them to have something that had 1/8'' threads but no fitting, but i could be wrong.

Check my air compressor? I dont have one.

on the packet it said
TRADE AIR

air blow gun and inflator kit.

ill just have a look at bunnings when i go there next. I dont remember seeing them but i hope they have them

ya Mr Russ, i get em all the time. well mine looks very close to that one. supercheap was selling em for $4.95AUD but now they're not on sale ne more, $10.95AUD...

check supercheap and repco... last time i checked, they had a LOT of brass air fittings.

I got this from bunnings, it was like $8 or something. so yeah i dont go to supercheap or repco much but if i told my dad he might take me. If not ill just have to see what happens.

Have you ever seen 1/8" nipples?

i think ive seen 1/8" barbs so im guessing they might have nipples too?

I have...Mine But nah I havent Im too isolated

what are the threads on blowguns classified as? (like BSP/NPT)

The threads on the big side look different from the threads on the little side. is this right?

No, they should just be 1/4 on one side 1/8 on the other.

what are the thread types?
