Operating Pressure:
70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 8.43 kg/cm 2 ). Select the operating pressure within in this range for best fastener
performance.
Air Consumption:
The EHF1838K requires 1.94 cubic feet per minute or C.F.M. (54.93 liters per minute or LT/MIN) of free air at
80PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2 ) to operate at a rate of 60 fasteners per minute. The LHF2025K requires 1.90 cubic feet
per minute or C.F.M. (53.8 liters per minute or LT/MIN) of free air at 80PSI (5.6 kg/cm 2 ) to operate at a rate
of 60 fasteners per minute. To determine the appropriately sized air compressor, take the actual rate at
which the tool will be run and compare the required C.F.M. (LT/MIN) to the compressors free air delivery
(C.F.M./ LT/MIN) at 80 PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2 ).
For example, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tools C.F.M.
required to operate the tool at the rate of 60 fasteners per minute. In this case, be sure that your air
compressor can deliver a minimum of 0.97 C.F.M. (27.47 LT/MIN) at 80 PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2 ) for optimum
performance.
