Ingersoll/Rand 180PG needle scaler
The Ingersoll/Rand 180PG is a pneumatic needle scaler built for industrial duty cycles. It uses a pistol-grip body with a bayonet needle lock and a lever throttle for controlled operation. The tool comes new with twenty-eight needles included and accepts manufacturer numbers 1376 and 1377. It requires a 90 psi supply and a minimum five-sixteenths inch hose.
Upgrade from hammer scaling or single-needle tools
This scaler replaces manual chipping hammers or lighter air tools when large rust, scale or coating removal is needed. The jump is worth it when the job demands 2,200 blows per minute across a 1-1/2 inch stroke at full-load airflow of 8.0 CFM. Average consumption over a fifteen-second run is 4.0 CFM, so the compressor must sustain peak flow for continuous work.
Capacity and headroom for heavy cleaning
Twenty-eight needles cover a wide pattern on steel structures, weld seams and concrete surfaces. The 13-1/2 inch overall length reaches into cavities while the bayonet lock holds needles securely under vibration. Headroom ends when the air supply cannot maintain 90 psi at 8.0 CFM or when the application needs a different needle count or stroke length not provided by this model.

Questions about this item
What size air hose and inlet does the 180PG needle scaler require?
The tool needs a minimum 5/16 in hose and connects via a 1/4 in NPT air inlet fitting.
How do you install the needle set into the 180PG, and what step is often missed?
Insert the 28 needles into the housing and secure them with the bayonet lock; the step often missed is fully rotating the bayonet until it clicks into the locked position.
When do the 28 needles supplied with the 180PG need replacing?
Replace the needles when their tips become blunt or bent enough to reduce scaling effectiveness, typically after extended use on hard coatings or rust.
