This adapter connects a standard automotive tire valve (DIN 7756 VG8 thread) to a 3/4" garden hose fitting, such as a Gardena-compatible connector. It allows you to use a tire inflator or air compressor to blow out water from hoses, which is especially useful for:
- Winterizing irrigation systems or outdoor garden hoses
- Draining hoses used for camping (e.g., portable showers or water fill lines)
- Preventing water freeze damage during cold seasons
- Drying out gear before storage
Tested with:
- Xiaomi air pump (screw-on valve connection)
- Makita DMP180 / Bosch UniversalPump 18V (quick-connect fitting)
Print recommendations:
- Works with PLA, but PETG is strongly recommended for better durability and pressure resistance
- Take extra care with the DIN 7756 VG8 end of the adapter—it’s more fragile and can snap if overtightened or stressed
