ABAC AB5-2180V4FF

ABAC AB5-2180V4FF is a 5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating piston air compressor delivering 14.6 SCFM at 175 PSI on an 80-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V single-phase. The simplex piston design weighs 398 lbs — notably lighter than the ABC5-series at the same 80-gallon / 5 HP spec. The AB5 series designation and 4FF suffix indicate a specific configuration variant. At 175 PSI maximum, the unit suits automotive bays, fabrication shops, and contractor air. The 80-gallon vertical storage is appropriate for high-demand cycles. Priced at $2,746, it is the most affordable entry in the ABAC 5 HP 80-gallon reciprocating range in this batch. Known gaps: duty cycle percentage, noise level (dBA), motor NEMA frame, and configuration details for the 4FF suffix not available in current catalog record.
