FS-Curtis FML15C89BXS-A9L1XX

FS-Curtis FML15C89BXS-A9L1XX is a 15 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 42.6 SCFM @ 175 PSI on a 120-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V/1-phase, pressure-lubricated. Part of the FS-Curtis FML series, this simplex unit uses cast-iron two-stage piston construction with pressure lubrication for extended service life. The BXS suffix indicates belt-drive configuration; the A9L1XX option code encodes frame, tank, and voltage selection in the FML product line. Single-phase 230V supply makes it deployable without three-phase electrical service. Key specifications: 15 HP motor, 42.6 SCFM at 175 PSI maximum, 120-gallon horizontal receiver, 230V single-phase, two-stage, pressure-lubricated. Pricing at approximately $9,454 positions this in the industrial segment. Suitable for fabrication shops and production cells requiring high sustained flow at 175 PSI on single-phase power. Gaps: duty cycle, weight, RPM, and OEM datasheet URL not confirmed from primary source.
