Tamiya Quick Hose Joint 74561 - One-Touch Airbrush Connector with 2 Plugs
The Tamiya Quick Hose Joint (Item 74561) revolutionizes airbrush workflow efficiency with its innovative one-touch connection system. This precision-engineered quick-disconnect fitting allows you to swap between multiple airbrushes in seconds without tools or thread wear, making it essential for painters working with different nozzle sizes, paint types, or multiple airbrush setups during a single session.
Key Features & Specifications
- One-Touch Connection: Instant connect and disconnect with simple push-and-click operation
- Slide-to-Detach Mechanism: Secure locking prevents accidental disconnection during use
- Complete Set: Includes joint body plus two PF1/8 Type-S plugs for immediate use
- Universal Compatibility: Works with Tamiya HG series airbrushes and standard air hoses
- Leak-Free Design: Precision-machined seals maintain consistent air pressure
- Durable Construction: High-quality materials engineered for thousands of connection cycles
Why Quick-Disconnect Matters
Traditional threaded airbrush connections require time-consuming screwing and unscrewing, which wears threads over time and risks cross-threading delicate components. The Quick Hose Joint eliminates these problems with instant connections that maintain perfect alignment every time. For painters using multiple airbrushes—perhaps one for base coats, another for detail work, and a third for clear coats—this accessory transforms workflow efficiency and reduces setup time between color changes.
Perfect Applications
- Multi-airbrush setups for production painting
- Scale modelers switching between different nozzle sizes
- Custom painters working with incompatible paint types (acrylics vs. lacquers)
- Professional studios requiring fast airbrush changes
- Anyone seeking to eliminate thread wear and connection delays
Installation & Usage
Install one plug onto your air hose and the other onto your airbrush using the PF1/8 Type-S threads. The quick joint body connects the two plugs with a simple push until you hear the click, confirming a secure, leak-free connection. To disconnect, simply slide the collar back and pull—no twisting or tools required. The system maintains consistent air pressure throughout all connections, ensuring reliable performance identical to traditional threaded fittings.
Expand Your System
