I apologize, I misunderstood. They are all Milton S-217 High-flow v-style plugs and couplers.

All of them. Plugs and couplers are all hi flow

It's marked 100 psi on the unit itself. I'm going to turn it up a bit to 115-120. Waiting on a new gauge to come because I suspect the one on it isn't accurate. I can't figure out how to post a picture but the model number is 919-176120

I am using all Milton high flow plugs and couplers with a 3/8'' hose. New impact should be here in a day or so and then I can do some experimenting.

I haven't tried with the gun running but I highly, highly doubt it. Would probably have to raise the regulator pressure to like 125 psi or even higher would be my guess.

I definitely will. I'm just enjoying learning all the ins and outs to the whole thing, like I said it's my first compressor. I'm inquisitive by nature and just enjoy diving into stuff like this. Learned a lot from you guys and I appreciate the helpful responses and insights. Think I'm going to...

Big part of the reason I'm doing this is purely for the fun and enjoyment of tinkering with it and experimenting. No I don't want to spend a ton of money but this isn't a mission critical type deal. More of a learning experience/project to mess with.

I actually made up an end of line pressure tester with a spare gauge and a tee to see what I was getting at the end of my 15' 3/8'' line with high flow 1/4'' fittings. Getting 90 psi no problem, even 100 psi. Considering turning up the cut off pressure by maybe 15 psi. Not sure how safe that...

i was already toying with the idea of adding another 20 gallon tank since the compressor can fill its own tank in under 2 minutes. Think it would be worth while to do it? Space isn't really a concern anyway.

It is a 2 hp, 100psi 20 gallon oil lubricated craftsman, model 919-176120. It's an older unit but in very good condition, when I bought it I was looking for any rust on the tank and I was going to pass if it did (thinking if I see rust on the outside then the inside is compromised). As for uses...

The cut off pressure for my compressor is 100 psi. So I guess I only have 10 psi worth of force to drive my impact and as soon as the tank goes below that 90 psi the rest of the air volume is effectively useless? I was thinking of adding a second 20 gallon tank to give me 40 gallons overall but...

Ok I think I follow you. The rated SCFM of my compressor is 6.3 at 90psi. Now with a 20 gallon tank I did some rough S.W.A.G. math and figured I could run a high performance 1/2 impact at full load which is somewhere around 20-22 cfm or so for about 10 seconds before the tank is empty, that is...

Hi all, I just got a new to me 20 gallon compressor. It is rated at 100 psi. My question is if I run say an impact wrench off it as soon as it drops below 90 psi is it dead in the water until it pumps back up again? In other words, what good is the rest of the tank if only the first 20% or so is...
