Has anyone used this compressor to blow out their sprinklers (winterization)?

I think there is enough pressure to do this. I blow out my water dripping lines when they get clogged. All you need is short bursts of high pressure air and this little one can do it.

I have not tried to blow out sprinkler lines with this compressor. However it is a relatively small compressor and if your sprinkler system is anything like mine I would think it would be a stretch. So far I have found it ok for tire filling but would not recommend it for any high duty applications as it has a relatively low CFM rating.

I have a comparable pancake compressor and it works great with the critter sprayer. In fact I find it works better if you turn it down.

I would think a 3 gallon compressor would work well. I use mine to blow off the mower deck and air filters on various types.

No.. it's not designed for that. It's more of a small job compressor for inflation of tires and smaller air tools. It's not a 100% full time compressor. If you're going to use it to blow out 1" or above diameter swimming pool lines I would go for a much bigger compressor that has a larger tank and 100% full time operation.

I have not, but this particular unit did not perform very well for me. It pumped an unsatisfactory volume of fluid.

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

No, I bought a flexible curly hose off Amazon to go with it. But, I love this little compressor. It is just right for finish nailing, etc.

I'm not familiar with your type of compressor...The valve has standard 1/4" tapered male pipe threads...The hex plug shown in the picture actually hholds the "ball" in the valve so it can't be removed to thread to another pipe or fitting...If your are going to thread it into standard 1/4" female pipe threads at the termination of your drain then this should work...Mine has been working smoothly in an outdoor environment for almost a year...Hope this helps!

No. Buy the 6 gallon compressor. Its has a lot more power and isnt so cheaply built

I have not tried it for this, as I am trying to minimize the number of gutters I have in order to water the slab better during these hot, often dry summers we have down here. It is not powerfull enough to blow wet leaves, and probably not anything compacted. Your hand is still the best gutter cleaning tool on the market.

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

My husband used an air compressor. We've been using them all summer on our boat and they work great. I would definitely recommend them. Also, the cheapest I've seen.

I used it last year in about five inches of a fairly dense snow and it did pretty well. With that being said this is the only snow blower I have ever used.

Yes, it has been a good compressor for me. I use it for pneumatic nailers, it has a 2 gallon tank which would be excellent for bike tires, it may run a little but ive fill my car tires with it.
