Coil Roofing Nailer: BRN175A
Operating Pressure:
70-120 p.s.i.g (5 to 8.5 kg/cm²/4.8
to 8.3 bar). Select the operating pressure within this range
for best fastener performance. DO NOT EXCEED THIS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE.
Air Consumption:

per minute (100 liters per minute) of free air to operate
at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute, at 80 p.s.i. (5.6 kg/
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 to
operate the tool at 100 fasteners per minute.
Trigger:
The BRN175A is equipped with a contact trigger.
