I got my pneumatic rosin press today.
I'm confused on how to hook up the air supply. It doesnt have a standard nipple one would find on air tools.
Somehow I'm supposed to hook this to a compresor.
Any ideas?

I'm sure you can find the size in the specs but something like this just make sure you have your size correct.

I have some fittings like that and they dont fit. I unscrewed the inlet on the press and attempted to screw in a standard nipple and it's too small

Witch is small? Press side or compressor?

The press has a hose that slips into the regulator, almost like a shark's bite connector, so that end is no problem.
My issue is how do I connect the pictures hose to my air compressor?

O, I removed the elbow on the inlet side of the press regulator and attempted to screw in a male air line coupler. The hole was too big for the coupler

I would think it would need a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter. But you need to look at the specs.

Sadly the instructions are quite limited and there is no spec sheet except that it requires 150psi and 220volts.
But that's far improved from my rotary evaporator which had zero instructions whatsoever.

Well I figured it out, that threaded end accepts a female nipple and I just put some couplers together I had in my garage. Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be but it will get the job done
