Motor Guard Regulators

[metalman]

Bought 2 of these regulators for paint guns a while ago. They don't have fittings for the outlet to paint gun. The paint guns have the straight threads and I'm looking for the fittings with the swivel nut so I can aim the regulators where I want. Sent a question to Motor Guard but sometimes you don't get replies. Anyone else solve this problem?

I got this. I like it a bit better than the ball swivel design, but you need to be extra careful as it is more likely to flip around with hose movement and end up hitting your work.

Assuming the regulator has a 1/4 female pipe thread and the gun has a 1/4 npsm thread, the fitting would be Weatherhead 9205x4x4. Several online sources for this fitting at $5/ea or less.

Thank you, that weatherhead 9205x4x4 is what I need. Ordered them from Zoro.
That Amazon swivel connection would make the regulator move with the hose but would work without the regulator or on maybe some air tools.

I just load up the threads with several turns of Teflon tape. Allows me to stop threading it on where I want it.
