Hi there,
I have an airbrush compressor with strange nuts that i have never seen before and i cant find them anywhere online. The reason i need them is because my compressor doesnt fill the tank as fast as id like so i punctured two of these special nuts (used as air intake filter) as they are pretty restrictive to air passing through. While this worked and it fills really fast, it makes a horrible loud sound (probably pistons working overdrive since they can now pull as much air as they want without being restricted). The nuts look like a normal hex nut except with a male thread and tiny metal balls on the face of the nut. Id like to find out where i can purchase these nuts or even the name of them so i can search around online.
Thanks in advance![IMAG0016[1].jpg](https://airbrushforum.org/data/attachments/28/28091-8847cbe0d90a30819d3b8b0cb1579b23.jpg "IMAG0016[1].jpg")
