I am working on setting up my air compressor and want to use the same air chuck/quick disconnect fittings that my Dad uses. That way if I need to borrow his tools or if He wants to borrow mine... there will be no un-nessecary headaches.

Now, I have always assumed that what He used was a High Flow version of the industrial fittings that every one elses uses. But, I am having trouble finding them new.

I know that He used to do automated welder repair and worked with hydraulics on a daily bassis. Is it possible that these are actually hydraulic fittings? Has anyone seen an air fitting like this before?

I have attached a couple pics, The fitting that I am looking for is the shorter one on the right. The taller one on the left is the standard air fitting that I have always seen.

Has anyone ever used an air fitting like this?

And about the time I "got out" of parts, some oddball thing showed up being sold by Sears or Wards


Frankly, I would bet that your Hanson-Milton are a LOT more common, so what I would do, is just "rig" an adapter. If you can figure out what "they are" buy a matching coupler, and stick one of your nipples into it so that it fits your air hose.
