If the new trigger valve leaks air when you connect the air supply, most likely defective valve or air is leaking past outer trigger valve orings due to debris in the slot or new orings were cut when the valve was pushed in. If air leaks when you depress safety to fire gun then most likely problem is in the head valve or safety foot is not pushing the firing pin all the way in. Easy test, remove nails and remove the trigger to expose the firing pin. Connect air and very quickly depress the firing pin all the way in. If the gun fires, adjust the safety foot as needed. If the gun does not fire, remove the head and check headvalve orings for good snug fit against the cylinder within the head. The surface were orings make contact must be very smooth and not too deeply worn. If you notice fine scratches remove with fine sandpaper. Reinstall head using plenty of white grease on all the orings within the head and retest. Good luck

SOURCE: nail would not shoot out

The problem that you describe is caused when the driver is not returning all the way back up to the top of the cylinder not allowing the nails to enter into position . You may have one of several problems including worn piston oring, bent driver, worn check valve, worn lower bumper, or low air pressure. Simple test is to manually push the driver blade back to top using a thin piece of metal that fits into bottom of gun. Be sure to disconnect from air supply when doing this. Good Luck

SOURCE: n80sb-1 stanley bostitch framing gun.

Yes your nailer will drive other sizes of nails. For info and parts go to www.bostitch.com and look for the support tab then select service parts. Here you will find parts list and manual. To remove the tva11 trigger valve remove the retainer pin (the pin is 3mm) for the trigger and remove trigger. Next remove roll pin/pins that retain trigger valve. Use heavy glove to catch trigger valve as you apply air pressure to gun. The valve could pop out with great force so try lowering the pressure to gun. Before installing the new valve, check the opening for sharp edges which will cut orings. Good Luck and email if you have more questions.

SOURCE: Leak inside Bostitch N80 Nailer, won't drive nails

If the unit is leaking it most likley need a rebuild kit. Go to a Bostitch service center and ask for an ORK-11 kit. That is all the o-rings needed to do an over haul. Or just have them do it.

SOURCE: Leaks air around the trigger.

sounds like the trigger valve has a broken o ring and would need replaced. you can go to Bostitch.com and order one for it, they are not that hard to install.

SOURCE: I have a N60FN Bostitch nailer. It's loosing air

Your nailer uses a trigger valve part # tva6 (or tva1, but use tva6) (cost about $20) and is sold at www.bostitch.com or ebay for generic. If you have a source for orings, you could try to repair the valve. Remove the roll pin that holds the trigger to expose the tva6 valve. There are roll pin/pins that hold the valve in just above the valve in the body (Use punch for 3mm hole). Remove these pins and apply air pressure to gun to pop-out the valve. Use caution when you do this. Remove nails, lower pressure to gun and use glove or rag to catch valve because it could come out with force. Note the two grooves on the side of the valve where retainer roll pins hold valve. Remember to insert the valve with these two groves aligned with path of roll pins. With tva6 valve in hand remove two pins that hold valve together and remove inner plunger. The middle oring/seal on plunger is cause of leak. Try using an oring with smaller inside diameter than the broken or loose fintting seal that is present. It must fit pretty tight and be slightly thicker than 1/16" to work. Remove the outer orings to valve and clean and re-use same. Clean the valve port in body of gun and check for sharp edges to prevent cutting orings before inserting the valve. Use silicone lube or oring lube on the orings and the valve port (Danco silicone paste sold at Lowes in the plumbing department). Good Luck on your repair and email if you have other questions

How do i rebuild my bostitch n80 frameing nailer

Bostitch nailers are simple to rebuild. Bostitch company was sold to Dewalt so parts are now easier to obtain from local Dewalt service center. Use Ork11 oring kit and tva6 trigger valve. These parts are also available on ebay. Good luck or your nailing projects.

I Have a N80 Coil Nailer. It was given to me without the manual. I down loaded a manual, however it is not clear how to set the nail depth. Can you advise?

Bostitch nailers used three methods to adjust how deep the nail will set. On stick nailer, there are one or two screws on the lower contact arm allows you to shift up or down. On coil nailers and others , there is thumb screw on side or under the trigger. Finally on some coil nailers, there was a series of spacers that snapped onto nose of the gun. Good luck

Have framing gun with split neoprene seal( TVA-11 Valve). What is the scam that we have to buy a thirty dollar valve kit as opposed to a thirty cent o-ring. This seems to be a scam. Bostich N80 SB

If the o-ring is the problem, you can get the o-rings separately. I believe that the o-ring kit runs about $12 and contains all of the rings. If hte problem is internal to the trigger assembly, the entire assembly should be replaced. I have replaced the o-rings twice and the trigger once in my N80 in 24 years of service .

When plugging into the air line, the driver extends and will not retract.

could be the trigger assembly has a stuck o ring or the firing valve is sticking, I would look at the trigger assembly first.

My Bostitch N80 fires full auto when I hook it

I would check the safety first to make sure not stuck because this tool is a bump fire. Let me know and then I will find a kit and schematic for you or you can go to Bostitch.com and find the parts online, but I honestly think that you have a safety issue or the trigger valve is malfunctioning.

I need help replacing a bostitch framing air nailer trigger model 28ww it's leaking air and won't work.

follow closely, do you have a new trigger assembly because the problem is with one o ring commonly referred as the purple o ring in the kits? either way the procedure to remove the trigger is first knock out the roll pin for the trigger latch and then the 2 roll pins for the trigger assembly. next get a shop rag or equivelant and place under the now exposed trigger assembly and then while holding the collar on the air chuck plug into tool and hold rag tight and trigger will "pop" out pull the chuck away and remove the 2 pins to disassemble the assembly or install in reverse order lubricating the o rings first. Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

My framing Bostitch air gun , model N95RHN blows

prolly clogged, buy a rebuild kit and use it making sure all parts are totally clean before reassembly. in the future be sure to drain your compressor at least daily after use (more on wet or humid days) to avoid this

Air comes out above trigger. Gun looses all pressure through here.

the o ring on the trigger valve is broken, if you can find a local repair shop ask them for a purple o ring from a rebuild kit or you will need to replace the trigger valve assembly.
