Requires 13 cfm?,my standard compressor is only 3-4 cfm .will it work?

Steve, I don't think so. Using this gun I tripped the thermal overload on my compressor motor while painting 12 kitchen drawers. The compressor being used was a 2HP 20Gallon tank rated for 7.8CFM@40psi / 6.3CFM@90psi.

I would say yes. I use it at 25 PSI and it works just fine. so if your compressor can do the 25 PSI consistently then you are fine. It all really depends what you are going to use it for and for how long.

I believe it will work fine. My son bought one and uses it on a smaller compressor with no problems.

I would say this would work fine. This is one super compressor for almost everything. Would buy another one in a heart beat.

Yes, that's how I'm using the one I installed on my compressor...should work just fine.

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.

Probably....... I used my last one to paint my fence. The Spec on the Compressor Reads: SCFM at 40 PSI of 4.8 cu and a Standard Paint Gun Operating Pressure found on Amazon is found to be 29 to 51 PSI Avg. Air Consumption: 4.2 to 7.1 CFM. I found another that read "Requires 43-58 PSI inlet pressure for proper operation" but doesn't reference how many cubic feet per minute.

this switch has a cut in of 135 and cut out of 175. 85/125 sure seems low for a 7.5hp compressor. If you need lower pressure purchase a regulator and regulate pressure down.

Hi , this relay is designed for 1/4 and 1/3 compressors. The MFD IS lower at 280 -330 MFD

I believe you could safely use the 20 amp rated sq D pressure switches, I am currently using one on 2 different compressors 1 is a 30 amp 240 vac 20 cfm unit the other is a 25 amp 240 vac 14 cfm unit. I think the worst that would happen you will burn the points out sooner (the origonials went 20 years and 11 years respectively).

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

You need a compressor that provides 80 - 100 psi. I would recommend a Porter Cable pancake compressor or something similar.

ok thanks, anyway should be alot better than the three liter compressor i bought and it went bad, off ebay, sticking with Amazon now

Yes as long as it has a 1/4 npt. Fitting it will work fine . I have two of them both on different compressors no problem .

Depends on your air hose, couplers pressure regulators etc. I have a small compressor as well, but the included regulator has too much air restriction thus I could not maintain pressure. to make it short. You could get away with a small compressor AND get proper atomisation with this gun IF you maintain a low as possible air restriction in your system. Hope this helps

It should work , but the compressor does exceed the regulators pressure. I would contact the company first due to the 10 psi difference for safety.

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.
