can somebody please tell me EXACTLY what coupler to use at the fast-connect end of this compressor. The folks at Northstar first got me to purchase a Milton V-style (s765) - that didn't fit - and are now suggesting an A-style coupler ( s213).

Mine came fitted with a M/I style. This means you'll need the Milton M-style plug for your hose. My M/I plugs fit right in.

The Milton S213 is a 5-piece kit and will have all the fittings you need to connect a hose to the coupler that comes pre-installed on this compressor. You can also find fitting kits at any big box store such as Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight. HF fittings are cheap, but tend to leak. Have had good luck with the ones from HD. Hope this helps.

Hi Steven, you will need to get 1/4 inch fittings for your compressor. The Porter Cable compressor comes with two couplers already attached you will need a hose and some female plugs and couplers for the hose. I put a female plug on one end and a female coupler on the other end of my hoses. I put male plugs on devices such as the lever blow gun (female and male refers to the thread types on the couplers or plugs). Also it is very important to get Industrial type plugs and couplers, not the Automotive type. The Automotive plugs will not fit the couplers on the compressor. You could of course change one or both of the couplers for a universal type coupler which would work with both. Hi Steven, you will need to get 1/4 inch fittings for your compressor.

"what kinda of compressor should i use for these?" Hi, I found a very nice compressor... V-Power 21 gallons and 2.5HP and max at 125psi.... It is just enough to give intermittent blasts on the impact wrench. I might add an extra storage tank to possibly kick it up to 30-ish gallons? The perfect world is 30 gal. and with 5HP might be the better spec. Hope this helps.

I'm just guessing, I think the compressor pulls too many amps for this small adapter to handle. I would locate a local shop who deals in compressors and get their expert opinion on the type of adapter to purchase.

I would like to try and answer this question but the question does not make sense. Are you asking about what kind of compressor you should buy to power the pin nailer?

The quick disconnect on the 300P compressor appears to be a standard fitting. Not having one handy, I called Viaair (very quick to get them on the phone, kudos!) and their tech support advised that while not all of their portable compressors take standard quick disconnects, the 300P uses a standard "industrial" style quick disconnect that should fit most air hoses used for air tools and tire inflators. They actually recommend doing this if the 300P will be used in freezing, or colder, temperatures, since the included coiled air hose would be too stiff and brittle.

This is a great question. Well you right the coupler will not work.. So put it aside for small tips. Now this if you are using disposable piping bags cut it so about 1/4 will be exposed push the tip from the inside of the bag thru hole the you cut and you will be ready to go. I have found that my non disposable bags are cut to the right diameter. I hope this helps happy piping the large tips are great for adding batter to various silicon or tin cupcakes, lady fingers and small molds

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

I always use "quick-connect" adapters anyway. Just buy a set of inexpensive connectors, which includes both male and female typically plus a "receptor." You put the receptor on the hose, and connector on the inflator. Then if you want to use another tool, you can quickly change.

I had the same issue at first. I bought a manifold set off of amazon that was sold as an FJC but it turned out to be a cheap knock off. The hoses were all for R-12 not R-134. The quick connects for the high and low pressure side were 12 to 134 adapters and the only can tap that would fit the yellow line was an old R-12. I sent the cheap gauge set back and purchased an Interdyne AC Pro set and it works perfect.

I had a small compressor that I bought at Lowes. not big enough. I have now upgraded to a two stage compressor that does the trick. I was just using too many things at once on the old compressor. I think if I had nothing else hooked up to it I would have been fine.

Hello. The larger compressor you use, the less the compressor stays on. If you are using the nailer near the compressor and don't mind the compressor cycling on and off (small compressor), then use the smaller pancake compressor. It also depends on how much you are using the nailer. If you are bump nailing and doing lots of work, a smaller compressor may have trouble keeping up with the pressure you are using. I use a small pancake compressor and the nailer does just fine because I don't use it but every 30 seconds to a minute or more. So, it really depends on how much $$ you are willing to spend for the largest compressor you can afford and still have it portable. Good luck. Hello.

Tucson Mom&gt;&gt;The kit is intended to hook up to a standard vacuum cleaner. There are two BIG pieces. One had a big hole in each end. The other had a big hole in one end, and a small hole in the other end. You hose has a fitting on one end, and plain tube on the other. OK, with that: 1. Press one end of the BIG HOLE BOTH ENDS piece to the Vacuum cleaner hose (press fit). 2. Press the BIG HOLE-LITTLE hole piece into the part you just connected to the vacuum cleaner. That leaves the "little" hole end unattached. 3. Take the "plain tube, no fitting" end of the hose, and press it over the ribs on the "little end" of the BIG PIECE you just connected to the other big piece. 4. Now, any of the micro attachments should plug into the FITTING END of the hose. It appears that there are 4 selections to attached to the fitting end. Hope this helps...Good Luck. Robert in TN

I have the CPS Products MA1234 AC Manifold and bought this hoping it would allow me to attach a can of R134a refrigerant to the yellow manifold hose. However it does not. It is almost the right size. But either it's a little off in diameter or the threads don't match. Very diappointed. Anyone have any suggestions. I've bought several attachments but nothing works!

This coupler is to big for a number 2A. You need the regular standard size coupler. If you have a Michael's, Wal-Mart close by, they should have this coupler, Michael's for sure or check any craft store close to you.

I'm not a rep and would suggest you call the company. It looked as though some of the models are super fine spray, some are regular compressors with only one speed and others are 3 speed variable. I started with a single speed and now use a 3 speed which gives a bit more control when doing eyes.

See no difference in the two. Very pleased with themNot sure about interchanging but they have their own coupler and it works fine.With the money, don't spend More if need not needed.
