I have an 8hp 125 psi from Harbor Freight....it worked but there is a wheel attached to the hopper that dictates the amount you want to spray.Hope that helps...oh...get so drop cloths.....plenty.....Good luck....

I didn't even get that far. That hopper is junk.it came to my house I opened it spent 20 min off it pissing me offand I threw it in the trash where it belonged.most hoppers the compressor connects to the bottom of the compressor.this one all I could figure is it is supposed to so how connect to the back but the back just has a female screw end on it that you would have to rig somehow to hook to a compressor.this is so poorly make plastic junk no handle on top of hopper to hold on to that will allow you to do ceilings.I chose to throw away because how cheap I got it I would spend the same amount of money on shipping as I would have on the product was not worth returning I was going to be out the same amount of money.if you don't have the right tool the quality of work well show that save your money go to home depot or Lowe's.

I have a grip rite 152 that I set at 95 psi, the compressor is 2.6 cfm at 90 psi and kept up with the gun with no problems. if you need a compressor the grip rite 152 is a great compressor, rated best by fine homebuilding . I used this set up for all my 3/4" hardwood with no problems and no waiting for the compressor

your spray gun should have a min and max psi rating, your high flow spray gun needs high pressure prolly 90 psi to 100 psi you need a good air compressure with good recovery. milton Indudtries can help you with sizing connections from the air compressor to the hose ID diameter to the spray gun connection you may need a proper adaptor to connect every thing. Milton makes the best adapters air nozzles and tire inflators

I have a DeWalt Emglo 4.5 gal. 5.4 scfm compressor that will go to 200 psi in the tanks. It is on wheels and works great!

Dear friend, I believe it is a compressor 3 to 6 AMPS, This is a cut in pressure switch operating On when pressure drops below 90 psi to 100 psi it cuts in and over 120- it cuts offif it is in the above range and single phase you can use on your present compressoe _

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

It'll run any size wire you can get a contact tip for. I use .035 that's the biggest ideal size. The gun plugged in no problem and was of extremely great quality you shouldn't have anything to worry about I would definitely buy one again

I think it comes with a standard air fitting so you just need brads. Of course you need an air compressor and hose.I really love this thing! It shoots 2 1/8 through 3/4" solid oak and manufactured studs with holes small enough to skip the color stain pencil.

You will definitely need compressed air. The electronic hopper is not needed but is HIGHLY recommended.If you want to use the gun to it's full potential I would get a good electronic hopper.

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

It is just very small, maybe 4 or 5 inches. Reminds me of a regulator used at the spray gun, not on the compressor. I would pass if I were you, however Amazon is great, they will take it back for any reason. good luck

The manual requires 80 - 100 psi. I am running this on a large compressor, but I see no reason why the tank you are looking at wouldn't work. My BOSTITCH PN50 Mini Impact Nailer can drive a 3-1/2" hot dipped deck framing nail into a 6"x6" post in less than 2 seconds. Don't know how I got along without it.

that compressor is fine the nail gun operates at 120 max. I was running the gun around 100 to 110 psi No Problems.

The recommended inlet air pressure for both the full size and touchup gun is 30 PSI, giving 10 PSI at the air cap on both guns. This pressure consumes 13 CFM on the full size gun and 8 CFM on the touchup gun. Everything you need to know to get started is on the first page of the included instructions. They recommend using a 5/16" ID or larger air hose. I would recommend a 3/8" ID hose as the hose and fittings are readily available. I've used these guns with as low as a 1 hp motor/40 gallon tank compressor but a larger capacity compressor gives an assured constant pressure and doesn't have to work so hard to keep up. All guns and paint types are different so I suggest that you get a piece of old sheet metal to get the feel of your guns and paint. I've got an old truck hood out back that I use regularly. Make sure you use a good regulator and moisture/contaminant trap. Let me know if you have any further questions!

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

The pinner has a sliding lever for different size brads, the smallest setting is 1/2in. Yes you need a compressor.

Since it's a framing nailer and rarely used for continuous firing probably 2.5 cmf would be plenty, if worse came to worse you might need to let the compressor catch up every once in a while, I have a 6.2 cmf compressor and have never had a problem, I own 2 of these guns and they are well built and extremely reliable
