FS-Curtis FCA10E71V1U

The FS-Curtis FCA10E71V1U is a 10 HP simplex two-stage reciprocating piston air compressor delivering 34.2 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V single-phase, splash-lubricated. Machine weight is 1,026 lbs. Simplex configuration with two compression stages in a single-head arrangement on a vertical tank, reducing floor footprint compared to horizontal variants. Two-stage compression achieves 175 PSI working pressure with improved thermal efficiency at this power class. Splash lubrication suits sustained industrial reciprocating duty in manufacturing and shop environments. The 120-gallon vertical receiver reduces cycling frequency and stabilizes header pressure during peak demand. At 34.2 SCFM, the unit covers spray finishing, impact tooling, and multi-tool shop air simultaneously. Max working pressure is 175 PSI.
