FASTENER SPECIFICATIONS:
TOOL AIR FITTING:
T
his tool must use a male free-flow connector plug, 1/4” N.P.T. The minimum inside diameter should be .200”
(5mm). The fitting must be capable of discharging tool air pressure when disconnected from the air supply.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
The operating pressure of the tool is 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 kg/cm
2
). Select the operating pressure within this
range for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
AIR CONSUMPTION:
Model BTFP12182 requires 22.7 cubic feet per minute (.64 cubic meters) of free air to operate at the rate of
100 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.66kg/cm
2
). Take the actual rate at which the tool will be run to
determine the amount of air required. For instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 fasteners per minute,
you need 50% of the tool's c.f.m. of free air which is required for running at 100 fasteners per minute.
OPERATION
BOSTITCH OFFERS ONE TYPE OF OPERATION FOR THIS SERIES TOOL.
TRIGGER OPERATED
This is a trigger operated model cycled by actuation of the trigger. The trigger operated tool will cycle every
time the trigger is actuated.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as
tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
FITTINGS:
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when
disconnected from the supply source.
HOSES:
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm
2
) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the
maximum pressure that could be produced in the air system. The supply hose should contain a fitting that
will provide “quick disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE:
Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE
GASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm
2
) is required to control the
operating pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can
potentially exceed 200 p.s.i. (14 kg/cm
2
) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air
supply must be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply
can reduce the tool’s driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating
pressure for the tool.
FILTER:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best
performance and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific
installation. The filter has to be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool.
Consult the manufacturer’s instructions on proper maintenance of your filter. A dirty and clogged filter will
cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
