I was planning on hooking this directly to a Porter-Cable C2002-WK, however the Hitachi manual says to use a filter-regulator-lubricator unit. Is this required/recommended? Which one should I get?

I use a water filter at least. But my contractor friend said you don't need the lubricator if you just put a few drops of oil in from the line in every few uses or after a long session.

Hello, I've got a Makita # MAC5200. This is what I use and it works fine. Just lubricate it after use and keep the feed magazine clean.

I have used this gun on my porter cable 2 gallon compressor and just recently purchased a husky 8 gallon and the nail gun works fine on both. The regulators on the compressors work fine but I did purchase an inline filter for the husky compressor because I plan to use it for painting. For just nailing I would think as long as you oil the gun a filter shouldn't be required but then they are not expensive and does give your gun added protection.

My compressor is a 21gal. Unit and the line stays pretty dry. The adj regulator on the comp. works well and needs to . I blow out all debri and use 4 or 5 drops of lube per every couple hrs. Use, keep the air adjusted as needed for the size and type of nails. The Hitachi works well , but a water filter is not very costly. Type of use and care is always important.

I'm sorry I can't answer that question. All I did was order what ever one it suggest to go with my Hitachi when I ordered it.

I don't know you'll have to ask porter cable or look omn there web site for answer to that. Sorry i couldn't help you more good luck

I don't think so... contact Hitachi or ask others who have bought it. I am not that experienced with these tools.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

Go online & try the following: Porter Cable parts list for model 333, then owners manuals,then P.C. service/support-click on owners manual on right,then put in 333 at find parts,then 333 more details,then put in the Type 1,2,3,4,or 5 that is on the tool housing label near serial #. This is needed because some of the part # are different for the Types. You should get a parts list then. My sander is a Type 5. I hope this will help you. If not ,have amazon contact me- I might can help some more.

I tried a few and the most efficient is the cylinder type. However be careful to not tighten too hard or you'll end up at the service cause the wrench will slip. They say to tighten the filter by hand and then just 1/4 th by wrench. Good luck!

well, the more expensive unit has a filter in it, where the fotz9k044a does not have any in it, but i just bought a cheap napa filter and mounted it between the tank and the fotz9k044a and btw im using this smaller unit on a 460 (or 7.5 liter) big block V8 eng, contrary to professional advice, and it works fine for me. plenty of power and no hesitation, even towing a heavy trailer and under heavy acceleration, no problems.

Hi Ross, I've done a bit of research and went the actual Bosch website and did not see Porter Cable as one of the compatible manufacturers. I don't necessarily believe it won't work though. If I were you, I would buy it, try it and if it doesn't work it's always easy and free to return with Amazon because they email return labels. Ps, here is a link to the Bosch page I mentioned. http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Accessories/Pages/BoschAccessoryDetail.aspx?pid=OIS001Best of Luck,Alan LAlan L

I am not sure what type of system you have but for this filter to work properly you need the corresponding multiport valve that gets hooked directly up to the filter. If you don't have this valve you need to get it. Your old valve will become inactive.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

Count the flats or "flutes" on the plastic cartridge housing. That should match the filter housing with the tool. Cartridge filters are a pain! Good luck.

This attachment did not fit my 5KSS, and I had to return it. Contact the supplier, and he will tell you which hook is the correct one for your machine. BTW, the return process was painless. ck

I have the same question... I just purchased this tool today from a local store where they didn't really have many accessories; but it appears the porter cable accessories can be used, but I'll keep researching before I buy them. If you find an answer, please post it!

I attached this to my Maruyama trimmer. With the Tanaka head, you should have got an assortment of bolts and washers. Find the one that fits the threads best on the Hitachi. With the other comments, this might not work for you. You know that the Hitachi fits when you take it off so maybe you can just use that one of the Tanaka head.

Use a denso for sure....avoid the bosch at all costs. you want one listed as upstream. I have a 01 2.7 Taco.

Somehow Amazon got their people crossed. I never responded to your question and don't know anything about Ryobi threads. It had to be someone else. Sorry that happened to you. In fact I went and double checked and I have a Porter Cable. The answer you got about the "black knob" is correct but I don't know anything about a Ryobi and I don't live in Lakeport.,Suggest you return it to Amazon. My friend had your problem when he tried to use it on a DeWalt. The Ads are very unclear on the threads. Best of luck. Bill
