I bought a 2hp compressor from Aldi many years ago and the only bit that has failed is the regulator. I bought a new one from Machine Mart and that is still ok. The first thing i did when i bought the compressor was change ALL the fittings to PCL connectors. If you have no luck with Machine Mart try Snap-On, I understand they do a fair bit of British and Euro stuff these days.

Cheers Derek.

I converted my Aldi compressor to PCL connections if you have a motor factors near you many supply PCL fittings,

This firm on page 45 sells them and deliver PCL fittings fast.

Worth looking in the Cromwell tools catalogue (on line) as well. They do a whole load of pneumatic fittings. I think they also do npt-bsp adaptors as well for the sizes that need it.

Ted,

It's probably what you already have to make everything compatable.

Up until last year I was on Shraeder fittings for the simple reason when I built the workshop and started putting in steel air lines my local scrap yard had bags of Shraeder fittings from Plessey's old factory which they demolished.

However fast forward 20 odd years and most of these were leaking and new fittings are expensive, it payed me to change over to PCL's in one go purely on cost.

Female Shraeders were £5 to £7 each, PCL's were just over a pound, male Shraeders were about £2.50 and if you bought bulk PCL's about £0.70
