How do I mount it on a Bostitch framing nailer with 1/4 plug? Do I need additional fittings and/or hoses?

The inlet/outlet are 1/4". You would just need to mount it inline between the nail gun and the male air hose fitting that connects to the supply hose.

I just added the necessary fittings to put the separator in line at any of my air tools.I don't have a nailer... but I have done this successfully with my impact gun, my paint sprayer, and my media blaster, among others ... I don't think you have to put it right at the tool you're working with, anywhere along the air line would work... I do use a separator at my air tank as well, but I live in the Northwest where it is very damp. 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.

Ive used a framing nailer with this compressor while framing a deck, and it works well, but I would want something larger for a major construction job. It will not maintain pressure when being used at a high continuous rate.

Pick the proper dia head for the gun and screw it into the gun end first. This is determined by putting the nail into the gun hole with the best fit. Otherwise James pretty much "nailed" it:) I have a much smaller rivet gun for most jobs with tighter spaces.

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

I used it with a framing nailer (Hitachi NR83A2S) and the compressor was able to keep up quite well. However, with only 4gal capacity, running 2 framing nailers simultaneously might be a stretch.

Hi Steven, you will need to get 1/4 inch fittings for your compressor. The Porter Cable compressor comes with two couplers already attached you will need a hose and some female plugs and couplers for the hose. I put a female plug on one end and a female coupler on the other end of my hoses. I put male plugs on devices such as the lever blow gun (female and male refers to the thread types on the couplers or plugs). Also it is very important to get Industrial type plugs and couplers, not the Automotive type. The Automotive plugs will not fit the couplers on the compressor. You could of course change one or both of the couplers for a universal type coupler which would work with both. Hi Steven, you will need to get 1/4 inch fittings for your compressor.

According to the manual on porter cable's website the nailer is 2.83 cfm @ 80 psi for 100 cycles (Nails). If you had a 3 gallon air tank I would assume that would work.

I have one of those Porter Cable compressors I got for a brad nailer, and the Critter works fine with it. You won't need anything like 90 PSI, either. If you use too much pressure, the spray will be very dry and dusty.

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.

Yes I use Bostitch all the time. They work great. You may have to change the nail plate on the gun to accommodate your flooring. Hold it up and see how it fits. Test fire a piece to see if it will work as is.

This is a "finishing" nail gun, not a framing gun. For 2x4 studs, etc., You will need a much bigger gun to shoot large nails normally used in framing. Look into one like the Bostitch 2" to 3-1/2" framing nail gun (which will serve your Hubby much better.). I have both a framing and finishing nailer and they are both well suited for different tasks!

Basically most compressors would work with the pin nailer. It does not take a lot of pressure to operate this gun. I would stick with a top brand name. Porter Cable has a "pancake" style compressor that could be purchased at HD or Lowes. I have that compressor and 6 different Porter Cable guns including the pin 138.

This is a GREAT finish nailer; I would not use this to nail 3/4" stock (1x4-1x6 lumber). It is good for a decorative lattice at the top;). 1x4 or 1x6, or even 1x8 will 'cup' as they say, therfore due to cupping you need a nail/screw with a large 'head' ( 6 penny common galvanized at least). You could use this Wen to 'tack' your pieces (and then use larger nails or screws later). ;)

You will need an adapter.... If I recall correctly, its a 1 1/4" thread. You should buy a 1 1/4" to 3/4" adapter then thread in a brass hose adapter. very sturdy tub!

You need 1/2" pipe thread fittings. Either couplers and male barbs or female hose barbs match barb size to your tubing

the connectors it is talking about are to connect the hoses and tools to the compressor. you cannot connect a 1/4" hose directly to the compressor, but they make "kits" that have all kinds of adapters for attaching to accessories so that you can inflate all kinds of balls, tires, small swimming pools, etc., etc. If you JUST want to connect a 1/4" hose and nothing else, you need to go to a hardware store and they can find the proper fittings to reduce the line down to 1/4". I tried to use mine for my airbrush but it was way too noisy to use in the house for that. hope this helps?
