FS-Curtis FCA05E57D1U-A2L1XX

FS-Curtis FCA05E57D1U-A2L1XX is a 5 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 37.0 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V single-phase, splash-lubricated. The FCA prefix indicates the FS-Curtis CA Series; E57 identifies the pump variant; D1U encodes the duplex UltraPack drive. The duplex configuration mounts two E57 pump heads on a shared 120-gallon tank, so total delivered airflow is the sum of both heads (2 x 18.5 CFM). Pre-assembled UltraPack designs reduce installation time and protect the pump in harsh environments. Key specifications: 5 HP motor (x2), 37.0 SCFM at 175 PSI, 120-gallon horizontal receiver, 230V single-phase, two-stage, splash-lubricated, duplex UltraPack. Pricing at approximately $6,422. Gaps: noise level dB(A), duty cycle, weight, and RPM not confirmed.
