How can I mount an air outlet outside

[kctyphoon]

This might be a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyway. I don't have a garage, so everything I do is in my driveway. What I'd like to do is run an air hose from the compressor in my basement, under a crawlspace and have an air outlet on the outside wall by my driveway so I dont have to drag a 100' hose around the house..
So my question is, how can (or how do I) mount an air outlet so I can plug a small hose into on the exterior wall by my driveway without it looking like this big stupid thing on the side of my house. I can drill a hole through the wall to run the hose, but I can't find any type of bracket that I can use that will hold the quick coupler right in front of the hose inline with the hole behind it. ( so the bracket and coupler covers the hole in the wall and air hose behind it )

Suggestions, pics and part number much appreciated..

If it were me I would run hose (pipe) under the craw and exit the crawl using a galvanized floor flange and then a 45' (or street 90) so the QD is facing down. All of this would be painted to match the house so it does not look tacky.

Long piece of black pipe steel with quick connect chuck sticking outside siding (ie female fitting) - - after 90 degree facing down like above GJer mentions. Outside when working on cars, just have hose with male quick-connect fitting.

On other end of pipe near compressor, you could have male quick-connect fitting also so you could connect compressor when needed. You don't mention distance, but if necessary there are 21 ft sticks of black pipe steel at wholesale supplier like WinNelson. Black pipe steel would handle the crawl space conditions . . . unless it's a swamp !!

Here's mine, it's mounted on a pole. But I couldn't see why you couldn't mount something like this on a house.

Depending on the thickness of your wall, you could use an anchor coupling.

Just drill a hole through the wall and stick a stub with a coupling through it. All you will see is the coupling. You can use pipe straps on the inside of the wall to secure it.

Any reason not to have the coupling just inside the garage door?

This is something like I was thinking, so it just looks like an outlet... Does the thread of the air fittings also fit black/ galvanized / copper pipe? Honestly never thought of that.. Would def make it easy..

KC: I inherited a garage from a machinist that piped the entire garage with outlets every 6 to 10 feet. he put one outlet outside to. so that saying you can put pipe in and around your basement and if you are able to put one outside then all you'll need to do is plug into it after you turn your compressor on so you won't have to have a hose running all over the basement.

i'm not sure what size compressor you'll need to keep the volume up if your driveway is a long way from where your compressor is, but you'll figure out soon enough if yours will work or if you'll need a bigger compressor.
