Product Information
Full details
The 3-Way Airbrush Manifold Splitter is designed for modelers, artists, and crafters who need to manage multiple airbrushes from a single compressor source. Its primary benefit is the ability to streamline your workstation by switching between tools instantly without swapping hoses, though it requires users to manage the individual air flow pressures carefully since it splits the single compressor output.

FAQs
Does this manifold include pressure regulators?
No, the 3-Way Airbrush Manifold Splitter does not have individual pressure regulators; it distributes the single pressure output of your compressor.
Can I use this with non-standard airbrush hoses?
The manifold uses 1/8 BSP fittings, which are the industry standard for airbrushes. If your hoses use a different size, you will need a thread adapter.
What are the blanking caps for?
The blanking caps are used to seal ports that are not currently in use, ensuring that air pressure is maintained without leaking out of open valves.
Can I run all three airbrushes at once?
Technically, yes, though your total air pressure and volume will be split between all three, which may significantly reduce performance depending on your compressor's capacity.
Does it come with a mounting bracket?
The manifold is designed to be lightweight and compact, typically resting on the workbench or hanging from the hose, and does not include a specific mounting bracket.
Troubleshooting
Air leaking from unused ports
Ensure the blanking caps are firmly screwed into the ports and check if the O-rings or seals are properly seated.
Connection is loose or vibrating
Check that the 1/8 BSP threads are fully engaged. You may apply a small amount of thread seal tape if the connection continues to feel loose.
Air pressure drop when using multiple brushes
Since it is a single-source splitter, verify that your compressor is set to a high enough PSI to maintain performance across multiple lines, or only use one airbrush at a time.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently manages multiple airbrushes simultaneously
- Standard 1/8 BSP sizing ensures broad compatibility
- Includes blanking caps for flexible usage modes
- Simplifies workspace setup for multi-color projects
Cons
- Shared air pressure across all connected brushes
- Requires proper sealing of unused ports
- Does not include individual pressure regulators for each port
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your manifold, screw the main inlet directly onto your compressor's air outlet or your air regulator's output. Connect your airbrush hoses to the remaining three ports. If you are only using one or two airbrushes, use the provided blanking caps to seal off the unused ports to prevent air leaks.
Always ensure that all threaded connections are tight. While the manifold is durable, avoid over-tightening the brass fittings to prevent stripping the threads. Periodically check the seals for any audible hissing, which would indicate a leak, and ensure the manifold stays dry to prevent internal oxidation.
