 The PC106 has a 1/4" NPT female connection. Check with the compressor manufacturer before buying the fitting, as compressors vary in their outlet size and gender. Note that 1/4" NPT is pretty common for American-sold compressors, and measures 1/2" in diameter (which is a little confusing at first). The tubing uses "push to connect" which is a black plastic with stainless steel teeth inside. We got our 8mm push-to-connect / male 1/4" NPT at [[http://www.mcmaster.com|mcmaster carr]], part #5225K715 for about $5 each.
+This is the fitting

+It screws onto the compessor, with a little help of a spanner. There is threadlock on the fitting to keep it leak-free.

+Then push the 8mm tubing in to lock in place!
