TOOL AIR FITTING:
This tool uses a 1/4 N.P.T. male plug. The inside diameter should be .200” (5mm) or larger. The fitting must be capable
of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
70 to 100 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 7.0 kg/cm 2 ). Select the operating pressure within this range for best fastener performance
DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
Model N12B require 3.8 cubic feet per minute (c.f.m.) of free air to operate at the rate of 100 nails per minute, at 80
p.s.i.g. Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your
nail usage average is 50 nails per minute, you need 50% of the 3.8 c.f.m. which is required for running at 100 nails
per minute.
