several have said this before, but it might be wise to keep an assortment of air fittings and extra hose of a couple of sizes in your spare parts bin.
i have a bucket with various fittings. mostly DOT but not all. even then i seem to have to go get more. i am lucky in that where i live has a grainger warehouse and several specialty stores that sell fittings and hose.
the key is that when you replace ANYTHING that is for the braking system, use DOT approved fittings and hose. for the other air supply items, any fitting is ok. even the ones you can get at napa or home depot.
