Finish nailer gloat!

It would depend on what size fitting you have on your air hose. The most common one for the tool is the 1/4 inch NPT.

The fitting should allow the air to escape from the tool once you remove the hose.

looks like you are going down that list we made ,
one by one !

Most standard air tools have a 1/4 inch NPT setup. From the looks of the picture you need a male fitting. The other end depends on your air hoses. Most hoses are type N/M. Home depot sells these fittings for around 3.00 in my neck of the woods. Let us know how it works. That is a good price on that tool.

Try a#150, or a variant thereof. Look at the one on your other air tools, they may have a 150 or 1501 number on it.

Do you have a quick-release fitting on the end of your hose? If so, you just need to look for a 1/4” fitting that has male threads on one end to screw into the nailer, and the male quick release fitting on the other end.

I have the Dewalt 18 gauge pin nailer and it’s a great tool.

Charles: When you get the right fitting for the hose and gun, you might want to put a little ” pipe tape ” on the threads to prevent any air lose. It doesen’t take much—maybe one wrap. It’s cheap. About a $1.00 a roll.
Once you get your compressor, you’ll know real quick when you hook everything up.

Good deal. Did the nailer come with some light duty oil? Also when you get a chance check out the pin nailer by Bostich.

It is a very good one. I have one very much like it….same brand. It should give you years of service.
