I recently bought a Sil-Air 15a compressor to start airbrushing.

When setting it up, the manual says to remove the cap on the air intake and replace it with a filter, however the filter does not stay firmly in place.

When I poke it, the filter wobbles, and it looks like its diameter is slightly too large for the intake. I don't see any seal either.

Do you think that my compressor is faulty, or is it normal that the filter is not super tight?

Thanks!

Edit: Here's a video to show how easily the filter can get removed. I really don't know if it's normal...
