User questions & answers

Question:	can you say what the 8 piece accessory kit comprises of
Answer:	Tools are what the other guy said. You really need to purchase a quick disconnect and couplings kit. I ordered the "Primefit IK1015S-5 1/4-Inch Steel Quick Coupler Set, 5-Pieces" for $5.95 at the same time along with an inexpensive blower and a better gauge-enabled tire fill. It does come with a very basic tire fill.
Question:	I just need a small air compressor for blowing our filters and parts on lab instruments. Will this one do what I need
Answer:	Yes, but only for short duty cycles. The tank is small and blowing air uses a lot of air. So don't expect to be able to continuously blow for more than 30 seconds or so before the compressor needing to recycle.
Question:	Will this work to operate a pneumatic Porter Cable nail-brad gun
Answer:	Quick answer is "yes" as long the air pressure the gun need is less than 150 psi. However, depends on the size of the nail-brad gauge and requirement of pressure of the gun, you may need a larger & stronger compressor. My 20 gauge nail gun is not porter cable one but the compressor works just fine with it. Actually, brand of the nail gun & compressor doesn't matter at all. All you need to concern is a required air pressure.
Question:	I am confused. the power source says it is gas powered? so strange
Answer:	Definitely not gas powered. It's standard 120V.

User questions & answers

Question:	What model and type of spray paint gun is recommended with this porter cable compressor
Answer:	This model delivers 2.6 SCFM @ 90PSI with a maximum tank pressure of 150 PSI. Please compare the tools CFM requirements to confirm if this will work.
Question:	I just ran this compressor for around 15min doing a dry run, and the tank was scalding hot with the rubber hose actually giving me a red welt, normal
Answer:	All air compressors create heat. The greater the compressor the more heat. It's physical law, squeeze air and it gets hot. The connections, hoses and even the tank will feel somewhere between hot and warm because of this. Rule one: Don't touch the hot parts. Your situation as described may or may not be normal. I don't know. If you noticed the pressure and it was within limits, it may be normal.
Question:	Is this compressor work well with pneumatic tools
Answer:	The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.
Question:	Can this compressor be used with a framing nailer
Answer:	mine will produce 150 psi. I have a nail gun and I can shoot 16 penny nails with it hooked to the compressor. I actually have a larger tank that mine is hooked to that was part of a much larger compressor. I have a hose running from the large tank and use it for nailing, for blow cleaning chain saws, etc and for airing tires as well as for my impact wrench.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this compressor work for blowing out PLASTIC water lines in winterizing a home? What size are the connecting air fittings
Answer:	If you're talking about your sprinkler lines then yes (assuming 3/4" lines). I tested mine when we laid our new sprinkler system and the pressure drop is very rapid (5 seconds before you have to shut off and rebuild pressure). My lines are approximately 500 feet each station. Had to re-pressurize twice and any residual water after that is fine. As to the connector, it depends on your back-flow device. Mine is a Watts 009 series with 1/4" fittings. I used a quick change connector, 1/4" ball valve and a 1/4" hex connector. For the Watts, its check valve #4. I wouldn't exceed 80 psi
Question:	Can the output be controlled? ie., set to 30 psi or to 40 psi? To blow out water lines in my camper, the max psi allowed is 30 psi
Answer:	I use it to blow out my water lines in my camper. You’ll need a fitting to attach the compressor to your water intake. I Keep the regulator on the compressor at 30 psi or below and all the spigots closed. Then open each one at a time until no water or vapor comes out.
Question:	How loud is this thing? I want it primarily to use as an airgun to spray dry scuba gear
Answer:	Yes, it is "loud" if you're standing right next to it (db ratings are available), but remember it comes with a 25-foot air hose so, it doesn't have to be in your face. For most occasional shop/hobby applications this should not be an issue.
Question:	How do you replenish the air when it runs out
Answer:	hi malcolm,to replenish the air after it runs out, simply make sure the unit is plugged into any AC power outlet and flip the red on switch to start the motor. once it reaches "full" 150PSI, it will shut off by itself automatically. very cool. just got mine the other day and love this thing. -mike

User questions & answers

Question:	If the connection to the compressor is 3/8 and the connection to the air tool(s) is 1/4, how do I connect the two? Coupler (I'm assuming
Answer:	you don't connect the two. the 3/8" they are describing is from the outlet of the compressor into the tank, and it is hard piped. you only need to work with the air chuck fitting, and it is standard 1/4" air fitting.
Question:	How many Decibels in operation
Answer:	This is 84 decibels.
Question:	Has anyone ever used this compressor with an impact wrench
Answer:	Yeah, used it many times on my vehicles. I haven't ran into any problems or tools that it can't power. I am using a better than average impact and it doesn't run out if air pulling the tires, all at once while on a lift, off my jeep.
Question:	Can it be used on its side
Answer:	Not completely on its side because the water (if hasn't been drained) can cause problem. If completely drain the water then it won't be a problem. Hope this helps.
