Blowouts

I was wondering if any one could tell me where I could find one of these couplings to hookup to a air compressor for winterizing

Thanks
Nathan

Not specifically for your area, but I would try your local equipment rental place. Any place that rents (or sells) the big diesel powered air compressors for operating jackhammers should have them. I've modified one before to hook up to vacant electrical conduit and blow out dirt, gravel, and water. Was able to easily get those parts at the rental place.

It's called a "Chicago fitting" if that helps you ask around. Ditto on the rental place.

A cautionary note about the "Chicago fitting" for anyone that has never used one before.

Always be sure to secure the connection with either a wire or a pin. I used them for over 30 years in the Chemical industry and they can be lethal if they come loose while under pressure.
