FS-Curtis FCA07E57H8S-A2L1XX

FS-Curtis FCA07E57H8S-A2L1XX is a 7.5 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 23.2 SCFM at 175 PSI on an 80-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V single-phase power. The FCA series uses splash-lubricated cast-iron piston construction in a simplex configuration, suited for automotive shops, light fabrication, maintenance operations, and intermittent industrial air. The H8S designation indicates horizontal tank orientation with 8-gallon-per-HP sizing. Maximum operating pressure is 175 PSI. Key gaps: unit weight (lbs), noise level (dB), duty cycle percentage, and footprint dimensions not confirmed. The FCA07E57H8S-A2L1XX is available through authorized FS-Curtis distributors.
