Pneumatic Plug
This question is regarding the compatability of an air compressor with a pneumatic nailer.?
I am interested in buying a Ridgid brand air compressor> Ridgid Model # OF45150; and a Hitachi brand roofing nailer> Hitachi Model # NV45AB2. The compressor seems to have more than enough power to do what I want (To power two nail guns at once) BUT, most nailers have a 3/8 inch air inlet. The Ridgid brand air compressor is fitted with 2 Universal Push Style Quick Couplers that accepts both ¼” industrial and automotive plugs. My question, might sound stupid but, can I change out the 1/4 couplers to 3/8 couplers that will fit the nail gun hoses? Will that effect the performance of the compressor? Or do they sell a 1/4 to 3/8 inch adapter that will work?? Or are the two units incompatible?? If you are knowledgable about this please help. THANKS
You can get the fittings at any hardware store.....ACE is the place.....And no it will not effect the performance of the nail gun.....Just remember when you buy the fittings you get Teflon tape and put it on the threads of the fittings so it doesn't leak.......
Bring one of the fittings with you when you buy them because they are not all compatible.......
