Inlet Gun
What hose? Air compressor/Nailgun?
Ok, this may be a stupid question.. >.<
I've only worked with an Air Compressor and Nailer a couple times, so just looking for a little help
Basically, I'm residing my house. Need to put up OSB before siding and purchasing a Compressor and Nailgun for myself instead of borrowing. After purchasing both items on Ebay:
Nailgun-- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330431348728&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:ITNailgun
Compressor-- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390193801224&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I noticed that the air inlet on gun and outlet on compressor were different sizes. Do I need to put a new valve on the compressor to match the gun.. or what?
Thanks
It’s easier to just replace the inlet on the gun (or outlet on the compressor) to match your air hose. I typically use 1/4″ NPT fittings on all my air tools. So pick out which air hose you like the best, and match the fittings on it.
You can purchase a whole set of fittings, or get them individually. Use teflon tape on the threads to help seal them (found in the plumbing supplies).
By the way – the nail gun may or may not come with an actual fitting – often they don’t. (The photo says it is ‘representative’).
You’re looking at only a few bucks, even if you get a kit with a few different fittings, a tire inflator, and air nozzle.
By the way – I strongly recommend that you use screws for the OSB – I prefer plated wood screws, or deck screws. Do NOT use drywall screws – the heads will snap. If you use nails – they WILL back out, leaving you with a wavy surface over time.
Oh, and one more piece of advice about the air compressor – it’s better to get needed reach by using more air hose, than extension cord. You lose amps over the length of an extension cord, which can affect the motor, in some cases, even preventing it from operating.
Have Fun
