Snowseed’s Home Snowmaking Accessory Picks

Off-the-shelf parts I recommend for a home snowmaking setup. Snowseed does not sell these. Example links go to Amazon; any part of the same type and size works.

The Air Line

Compressor to snowgun with off-the-shelf parts. The camlock fittings let the line connect and disconnect by hand, no tools.
