Outside air line outlet

[Big Barn]

I know I put an air hose pass-through port in the side of my garage with my toothbar....

I'll have to try that.

Pro-Tip:
Do it on the side, not in the door! :laughing:

I keep the compressor and all the hose in my work shed - where its warm & dry. When I need the air hose outside, I drag the hose out thru the door and use it. I have 100' of hose connected to the compressor. No frozen connections or stiff hose.

My compressor sits in my garage, but I used the semi flexible tubing and fitting from these guys: Engineered Specialties LLC | Rapid Air Compressed Air Systems To run from the compressor to my hose reel and other outlets. The tubing can be cut with their cutter or a sharp blade on your knife and just plugs into their fittings. It can be released similar to SharkBite plumbing fitting if need be.

Very happy with their products.

Thank, all.
The comments and examples are encouraging. I really don't want to lug my compressor up the stairs from the basement any more! I already have a dryer vent, central vac outlet, electrical plug and freeze-proof faucet on an outside wall, so adding an air outlet to the suite shouldn't be too challenging.

When you plum your quick connect outside, get one of these dust caps for 1/2 couplers to slide over it. Will keep it clean an usable for many years, I've got quick connects on my jeep bumpers and have had these covers on them with real good luck.

What provides the air on the jeep?

I don't have a garage/workshop, so any work I may do on the car, truck or tractor is in my driveway. My tools are all in the basement of my house. I am getting too old to lug my air compressor up from the basement to use in the driveway with my pneumatic tools, and wondered if it would work to install an outside air connection on the side of the house nearest the driveway. Would such a thing need a sealed, weatherproof housing of some sort? I'm in a cold, snowy climate.
Anybody else done this? How is it working out?
Thanks,
Bob

Don't know why it wouldn't. I have air quick chucks on the front and rear bumpers of my truck and they still work just fine after being on there for several years now. I imagine being exposed to the elements on a front bumper is more of a severe environment than a static install on your house.

I used a large York a/c compressor off a ford truck.

I have been thinking opposite. I want to run an airline from the garage compressor to the furnace room in the basement of the house. Would be handy to have a place to tie into. As for hoses freezing in the winter you just need to buy the right type and it is a non issue. Mine is as light and flexible as an extension cord. Can't remember the type, but I think it is poly. more expensive then a normal hose, but so nice to use.
