Even when the hose goes on without leaking, air escapes out the bottom connector when I pull the trigger!! Why?!

Mine does not do that. No leaks anywhere. If you are talking about the connector to your compressor hose, I've had that happen when the hose connector male) and the device connector (female) do not mate properly. I have bought connector kits where different brands will leak if they are mixed. I also use teflon tape on the screw threads.

All threaded connections have to be sealed with teflon tape. Here's a link: Allstar Performance ALL14282 1/2" x 260' Pipe Thread Tape

I have one of these Upholstery Nailers and don't have this issue but you can control the pressure with an inline regulator which I have on mine, it's at the end of the hose nearest to the gun with a quick disconnect.... Hope this assist you somehow.

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

Leaking how? I've never had a problem with mine. Open the air pressure release valve when not in use and screw it in tight before use again. But it shouldn't leak, it's all one piece.

yes for some reason the air is coming out by the trigger and no air is coming out of the tip, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Sounds like the hose isn't securely fastened into the slot. Make sure you turn it, and it sort of 'clicks' into place. Otherwise, I would guess a defective product?

Sounds like you have a problem with your hose. I would just replace the hose and it should work fine.

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

I returned mine. Could only get 130 PSI out of it. Connector did not leak though.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

No, Wally, there should be no air leaks. I've had mine for about a month now, and I'm very, very happy with it. Quiet, light weight and easy to move, with a short recovery time. Perhaps the leak is caused by the male hose connector you plugged into it.

We love our hose and it is the best we have ever seen. My husband says it must be missing the "O" ring inside the female connector that attaches to the motorhome/trailer. Without the seal, it will be loose. It shouldn't be used until the seal is in place.

You have to make sure all the air is out of the hose for it to work properly, so if you disconnect it, you'll probably have to pull the sections of the hose apart to ensure there is NO air in them. If I'm doing this by myself, the easiest way is from in the pool, keeping the hose ends under water. If you have help, it's possible to do it from outside of the pool.

There is an air release in the plunger. I haven't had a problem with air in my casings.

I cannot recommend this hose. I got one last summer and loved it....... because it never crimped off. Crimped hoses are a pet peeve of mine. But now I've found it has sprung a leak just under the edge of one of the end connectors. This hose has not been abused in any way! Now I'm on a hunt, as I see several others are, to figure out how to repair it. Most hoses you can simply cut the end off and put a replacement end on. But this hose has this wire in its walls. If anyone knows how to repair it, please post.

I make sure the water is turned off and spray the hose until the water pressure is gone. Push forward on the connector and at the same time pull back on the connector release. Using both hand will make it easier to remove.

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.
