ABAC AB5-2160V4 is a 5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating piston air compressor delivering 17.3 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 60-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V single-phase. The simplex piston design weighs only 301 lbs — the lightest unit in the ABAC AB5 5 HP range reviewed in this batch — making it suitable for mobile setups or floor locations where weight matters. The 60-gallon horizontal orientation is appropriate for installations with low ceiling clearance. At $1,712 list price, the AB5-2160V4 is the entry-level offering in this group. Known gaps: duty cycle percentage, noise level (dBA), motor NEMA frame size, and configuration detail for the V4 suffix not available in current catalog record.
