Is it common for small compressors to leak a tiny bit of air when just sitting unused over a period of a few hours?
I just bought a new coiled hose for my 2-gallon compressor which I use for my nail gun and pinner. I connected the hose with a quick connect fitting, ran it till it reached a tank pressure of 120 psi, then let it sit with no tool attached. The tank pressure was down between 15 and 20 psi when I checked after about 2 hours. Since I had to reinstall the hose on the connectors when I got it, I'm just wondering if I should just return the hose.
Is the amount of leakage I had normal for a small compressor? Granted it's a small amount but . . . normal? Since I don't run it unless I have a tool connected and am using it, I really never noticed any leakage.
