FS-Curtis FCA07E57V8S-A2L1XX

FS-Curtis FCA07E57V8S-A2L1XX is a 7.5 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 23.2 SCFM at 175 PSI on an 80-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V single-phase power. The FCA series uses splash-lubricated cast-iron piston construction in a simplex configuration. The V8S designation indicates vertical tank orientation with single-phase electrical configuration. Vertical tank orientation saves floor space versus horizontal models and suits facilities with constrained floor area. Suited for automotive shops, light fabrication, and intermittent industrial air. Maximum operating pressure is 175 PSI. Key gaps: unit weight (lbs), noise level (dB), duty cycle, and footprint dimensions not confirmed in available sources. The FCA07E57V8S-A2L1XX is available through authorized FS-Curtis distributors.
