Jenny K15A-30

The Jenny K15A-30 is a 1.5 HP single-stage reciprocating piston air compressor delivering 9.8 SCFM on a 30-gallon tank, wired for 115V single-phase, oil-lubricated. Machine weight is 300 lbs. Single-stage oil-lubricated design is standard for light industrial and contractor duty at this power class. The 30-gallon receiver stores compressed air for intermittent tool use, suitable for tire inflation, brad nailers, spray guns, and light shop air at modest demand levels. At 115V operation, the unit runs on standard household circuits without dedicated wiring, lowering installation cost for home shops and small service garages. Jenny is a U.S. industrial compressor manufacturer with a product history in single-phase reciprocating compressors for trade and light-industrial markets. PSI rating is not present in available source data and is documented as a known gap for this entry.
