Hose Collars - In-Line Filter


AKPilot

Recommended Posts

I'm in need of some pointers . . .

 

With 50% off coupons from Michaels, I picked up a Badger 155 Anthem airbrush and a 180-12 compressor. I also picked up a regulator w/gauge and an in-line moisture trap.

 

Here's where I'm stuck. As per directions, I cut my hose 2' from the end, for the moisture trap. I eventually got the barbs for the moisture trap in, but am struggling even more with the collars. For the life of me, I can't get the collars back over the tube w/barbs and screwed back onto the filter. Is there any trick that can help - or is it just muscle, persistence, and patience?

Ended up calling Badger, directly, today.

 

Their customer service told me that if I was to send the hose and trap in, they'd replace the hose and put the trap on a new one for me.

 

All-in-all an okay experience, although it would've been nice to do it without the difficulty.
