Would this compressor work for blowing out PLASTIC water lines in winterizing a home? What size are the connecting air fittings? 1/4?

The compressor should work fine for blowing out lines. you can set the pressure using the regulator based on your plastic water line ratings. It has quick connect fittings so you can buy an appropriate adapter for your use.

If you're talking about your sprinkler lines then yes (assuming 3/4" lines). I tested mine when we laid our new sprinkler system and the pressure drop is very rapid (5 seconds before you have to shut off and rebuild pressure). My lines are approximately 500 feet each station. Had to re-pressurize twice and any residual water after that is fine. As to the connector, it depends on your back-flow device. Mine is a Watts 009 series with 1/4" fittings. I used a quick change connector, 1/4" ball valve and a 1/4" hex connector. For the Watts, its check valve #4.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

Yea, that makes a lot more sense than paying for a 3/8 inch hose and then restricting it to just 1/4" at each end. But the reason that they do that is that the cheapy connectors that are so popular in the home stores are the crappy 1/4" ones. I throw those in the garbage and use the larger 3/8" connectors. My air tools, especially the rotary ones, are much happier with the larger connectors. In fact, the documentation with some of them require at least a 3/8" air flow path to achieve the designed performance. Using 1/4" fittings would have crippled those tools. That said, this hose should be fine for low air consumption devices like nailers, etc... Just beware...

I searched the Whirlpool site for this product but it doesn't specify. It is a generic hose to fit all ice makers...so that means 1/4" x 1/4".

Yes it will work just fine. Be sure to turn down the regulator so you aren't using 150 psi. We use about 30 psi to blow our lines. It has a small 1.5 gallon tank so it will work fine.

1/4" or 3/8" hose will work. You just need standard fittings to hook it to the compressor.

Yes the one I bought I used it with my shop compressor. You just need to keep the pressure regulated under 41lbs. or it will blow off the ends that connect it. Happened to me once no big deal really I just pushed it back on and kept the pressure down and works for me.

Thanks for your interest in this product. We do not carry the air compressors, but I can tell you that the correct air fittings would be Amflo C1, C2, CP1 and CP2.

Sorry I don't know. We use it to run our freezer compressor on our boat and it has worked well for a year now. Good luck.

This tool is design for crimping terminals on wire. I don't believe it will do air hoses.

Yes, this little guy will most definitely do the job, but be careful when you're done inflating. The metal air line fittings and the compressor cylinder head get fairly hot to the touch when inflating to those pressures.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

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.

2 gallon compressors are not meant to run air tools. You might be able to take a lug nut or two off. Then wait for it to build up pressure but you might as well use hand tools if your going to do that

Not totally sure, but would think if your compressor puts out something around 3 cfm at 90 psi, then it would probably work. Mine has a 6 gal tank, so with a smaller tank, the compressor might cycle on mere often.

The input and output sizes for this unit are 3/8"NPT. In order to utilize my 1/4" hose, which is the usual size for a non-commercial shop, I used a reducing bushing at both ends to accommodate the hose from the compressor and the hose going to the equipment being utilized.

would work good, but you better use an air regulator to cut down the pressure. you would have to expirement to get pressure were you need it so it don't blow it to far.
