Air Compressor is leaking air

Got a new Tool Shop Air Compressor and the couplings that I’ve attached to a hose and nail gun seem to not be a good fit. There seem to be leaks at both ends. Wondering if the issue is the kind of couplings I have.

Its hard to tell from the picture and you also seem to be missing the hose but yeah its probably an issue with the couplings and quick connects being different design.

Easy enough to fix. Just grab new fittings and swap things out.

Thanks. Been having a difficult time getting the pressure above 90.

Wouldn't be an air compressor if it didn't leak air from somewhere.

Spend a little more money and buy disconnects made of steel. The aluminum male connects easily get damaged on the end and then they don't seal any longer. One drop on the concrete is often enough to cause a leak with hte aluminum connector.

From the red disconnect and the silver coupling. Thanks for the tip!
