can I run this on a 20 gallon 4 scfm kobalt air compressor

You should be able to, the compressor looks capable enough. However the Nitrocat air wrench uses around 4cfm of air so If you want sustained power you may need a bigger compressor. I must say I bought this to replace my Snap on MG725 air wrench and its a great replacement.

well I think 4scfm is very little to run will run but not to the full power of the gun the one I own run in a 100 gallons and about 14 scfm and you need to be careful not to break the bolts I think you be fine for small jobs ..ps have a great day. ..

No. The compressor is way to week. You need at least 60 and 80 gallon for optimum results. I tried it with a 5 gallon a week ago and it was terrible. The thing wouldnt even spin.

Your connection would be with typical air line fittings. I don't have the unit with me so I don't know if it is male or female threaded. If you are asking about a hand pump, no. You need a constant air supply of about 40 psi. I use a large shop compressor because I have air connections throughout the room. I believe it would work fine with a small compressor.

It will work fine with your compressor. I use it to blow off miter saws and other such equipment. My compressor has a lower SCFM than yours.

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

As long as your tank has the right hand male acme thread to match the female acme thread in the hose it will work. The average size of a common 20 pound tank that you can exchange almost anywhere now is about 5 gallons the next size up is a 30 pound tank and they don't recommend you using this hose on that size tank because of the difference in output pressure ratings.

Yes. This compressor will run any air tool you would like. I run impacts, cutoff tools, sand blasters, air saws, die grinders, nail guns and all sorts of things off of it. It just need to run the motor more to keep filled since it's smaller. Not a huge deal just let it cool down periodically.

I think you have to have a tank to run air tools. I can't remember the recommended size look at the tanks on regular air compressors. The 400P is only the compressor motor not the tank. You can get Viair kits that include tanks, installation is trickier and vehicle specific usually.

I would say at least a 20 gallon compressor or bigger. A pancake compressor is just not big enough to keep up. My 20 gallon I would have to stop now and then to allow it to catch up.

It depends on the psi capability of the compressor. You will also need a female adapter for the compressor

yes, but it must be a High pressure industrial duty air compressor. Just like the ones used to fill scuba tanks. Generally not available to the public.

It will probably work but what I would look at is the type of compressor you have

I really couldn't say for sure, I use it for auto tires. I believe the compressor would be running most of the time as the tank is small and kicks on soon after starting a tire fill.

It will work but the compressor will be running all the time plus sometimes you might run out of air

No it won't. Your air compressor is running about 1200 Watts...multiply the volts times the amps to get the watts...so this 375 watt unit is not large enough.

You can, but you probably won't get that much torque. According to this website (http://www.portercable.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=23620), the compressor runs at 2.6 SCFM @ 90 PSI. But, the tool's average air consumption is CFM 4.2 @ 90 PSI as per product description. You probably can take out lug nuts, but maybe not an axle nut. I use an old Rolair 5715 that is 8 gal. It gives me 7.6 CFM @ 90 PSI which works for me. You can test it out if the air compressor meets your needs with this tool; otherwise, I'd look into get an air compressor that meets or exceeds the required CFM of the tool.
