Default Strange coupling for antique sprinkler

Can anyone tell me where I might get a coupling to fit the one in the attached picture?
It belongs to a cricket club who had their hose stolen and now need to replace the part that was on the stolen hose.

Thanks for any help and reading this post.

Hi madmart
have yougot any dimensions, because that looks a bit like a compressor air hose connector, so you could try a hire shop.

Thanks for the advice Mike.

It measures 1.5" and I have uploaded a better image.

Regards,

Martin

Yes sure looks like compressed air line bayonet twist lock fitting.

Try hire shop as mentioned or anywhere that sells pneumatic drills or compressors. Looks a lot like an air hose off a pneumatic road drill which uses about 100psi pressure, so its heavy stuff.

It may be a bit on the heavy side for a normal tool hire shop,you may have to look around for one.

Food Fortune!

Cheers Guys,
Went to the local hire shop and showed them - it was indeed an air coupling.
Your advice and time is greatly appreciated.
