“What parts do I need to connect my air compressor, staple gun, and hose together?”
To answer this frequently asked question Bill and I have created a video to help you make sense of the connectors you’ll need when you purchase an air compressor and air tools ie: upholstery staple gun, decorative nail gun, etc. When you purchase your staple gun, hose, and air compressor they typically don’t include the connecting fittings that you will need.
I hope this video has been helpful and has cleared up the confusion for you. We have a Campbell Hausfeld , and a Porter Cable, both brands work very well. If you buy something local you may also find when you need a new part like we recently did that you can easily get the recplacement piece. I would love to hear what your experience has been and what brands you use. For more helpful videos take a look at The Upholstery Life Channel here on our website.

I read this article carefully.
Can you answer my one question: How do I use a staple gun with an air compressor?
Thanks
The staple gun is pneumatic which runs on air.

My gun states only about brads—- Can it also use nails?
My pneumatic gun reads sizes of brads only. So does this mean I can only use brads and not nails also? My model gun is T200
Hi Barb, Yes what you have is most likely a brad nailer and not an upholstery staple gun. You’ll want a pneumatic staple gun made for upholstery.

how can i connect my hose so that it hanges down. that way it does not hit the ( me drop it).
Hi Mary, There are so many ways to suspend your hose from the ceiling or wall. I’d look for different hardware that would enable you to do this.
