What size air line should I use so this gun will run at it's best ? 3/8 or 1/2 inch?

Hi. I use the gun daily on a 3/8 hose and get great power and speed. A 1/2 hose would be fine and will deliver a greater volume of air, of course, but as an impact is used for a burst of power and not a sustained run, volume of air is not a concern. I hope that helps you. Enjoy your Aircat.

I don't know, but it is not much. It only uses a bit of air when the gun fires and I had it on a pancake compressor. A small compressor is plenty for this tool. If you are wondering about psi rather than cfm, then 90 psi will run it fine.

I use a 1/4 inch hose with no issues. I have only used it for small projects but recovery is very fast so I would predict no issues with either.

This Air Line isnt like NORMAL air line. The Walls of the line are slightly THINNER then average fish tank air line. It works just fine with 1/4in barbs and fittings, but sometimes youll have to recut the end of the line in order to be able to make it slide on nicely.

This is a standard npt fitting for air tools and paint guns, I believe it to be 3/8, yes. It was for an air tool.

I'm sorry for late response, it's probably going to need a medium but I would take the gun to a gun shop and have it matched up and you're on the right path low is best. Good Luck

Not sure if 1/2 or 3/4 but hooks up to a standard hose. I'm sure you could find a coupler at a hardware store to reduce the threading size.

I have a QC couple on mine and I use the nozzles from mine old pressure washer and I think both are 3/8.

19mm. It's still tough with the 1/2" nozzle. You will be much happier if you purchase a separate 3/8" nozzle. I learned the hard way. While it CAN be done with the 1/2, the casing is way too tight. Do yourself a favor. Get the 3/8" nozzle. But as stated by another, the cannon doesn't require casing unless you prefer it, in which I do.

For me, I use 3/8" tooling. I think this is too small to see any benefit from the rigidness of 1/2", and the 1/4" requires a pretty big shim. 3/8" gets my toolpoint pretty close to centerline, with minimal shims. I eventually went to a QCTP, primarily to eliminate the time required shim/align the cutter to centerline, but still use the 3/8" shanks.

Best performance is with a 1/2 airhose and a 1/2 air coupler. 3/8 hose inside diameter will hinder power

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.

3/4 inch is an expence that you don't need to spend. 1/2 inch works very well.

Cartridge dials to accommodate coils 1-1/4-1-1/2 or 1-3/4-2 or 2-1/4-2-1/2. Provided it was the proper angle and nail size, a 2-3/8 coil should shoot fine at largest setting. On board depth setting to adjust nail depth when fired. It was recommeded to me as best on market siding gun and I'd agree. Has survived multiple drops and usually jambs only when the coil of nails is messed up.

5/16" . If you use 3/8" you may want a hose clamp. It is NOT 1/4" between the pump and manifold. You use 1/4" beyond the manifold.

threading fits. but I recommend the longer barrel for you. 18 inch. better accuracy overall than your regular barrel

You will need 5 cfm and 125 psi for it to work correctly depends how fast you nail and at what elevation you live at I live at 9000 ft so I need more psi and more cfm . Super tough gun if you have over 125 that is ok just adjust the nose .
