What make and size is this Airline Coupler please?

[grumpy the 7th]

Hi all.

I have purchased a Ring RAC900 air pump (and yes. It IS very fast at pumping tyres up)  

However I would like to fit a different tyre inflator gauge  to it and looked for a new FEMALE coupler to fit to this inflator gauge.  But I can't find out what make or size the existing MALE connector is. I "think" it's an 'automotive' fitting but can't find anything like this.

I have contacted Ring but they don't know what the connector make/type/size is   

The FEMALE coupler I want to fit the male (in the photo) into ideally needs a 1/4" BSP male thread 

(the coupler {just} in the photo has a much smaller male thread it's 9.5mm diameter and the nut is 14mm across flats)

Anybody know what and what size this is please?

Most of the UK uses PCL type couplers. A lot of compressors come with what you show. I usually just cut off and fit a PCL.

I've searched a bit, and none of my suppliers have anything remotely like.

My advice would be to replace what you have with something more common.

Take it to a hose supplier ... they sell fittings and hose. Plenty of them about.

This is the closest looking thing I could find and worth investigation. They are used on pressure washer connections for triggers etc...

Hi, all.

Thanks for the input, I've still not seen anything remotely like the thing on the end of my pipe.   

I think I'll cut the 'funny' end off and insert a 1/4 BSP tail into the pipe so I can fit almost anything easily available.

That's the way to go!

I've had a reply from another 'Ringautomotive' contact I found and

they replied  "I am sorry, I am not allowed to provide the information you have requested". 

At least it means that I've saved that employee from being shot

Looking at images of the Ring 900 via google the compressor seems to have a short rubber hose with what looks like a Euro style connector. Can you make up an 'extension' hose with these fittings, which are widely available?

[Wrightpayne]

Or do you know a friendly engineer who could make one?

It's not exactly a euro connector although it is similar.
