Jenny W3C-80C

Jenny W3C-80C is a 3 HP single-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 13.5 SCFM @ 100 PSI on an 80-gallon tank, wired for 230V single-phase, oil-lubricated, weighing 585 lbs, priced at $4,294. The single-stage oil-lubricated cast-iron piston reaches 100 PSI maximum working pressure, which is lower than typical two-stage industrial units but sufficient for pneumatic tools, inflation, and spray applications that do not require high-pressure operation. Jenny Products is a US manufacturer based in Somerset, PA, producing industrial-grade reciprocating compressors for commercial and government markets. The heavy 585 lb frame and large tank support extended run times. At $4,294 for a 3 HP unit, pricing reflects Jenny’s industrial build quality rather than DIY-market positioning. Key gaps: OEM datasheet not confirmed; duty cycle percentage not published; CFM rating at higher pressures not available.
