The Jenny K15A-8P is a 1.5-horsepower single-stage electric portable air compressor on a wheeled twin-tank platform totaling 8 gallons. It delivers 6.2 CFM at 100 PSI from a Somerset, Pennsylvania-built cast-iron K-series pump with an industrial UL-listed motor, motor overload protection, and a thermal cutoff. The pressure-switch is configured for constant-run operation between 105 and 125 PSI, which suits jobsite tools that draw intermittently. Splash lubrication, oil sight glass, a directional air shroud for cooling, and a stainless-steel braided discharge hose are standard equipment. The 8-gallon twin tank gives small recovery volume for nail guns and small impacts; the unit is intended as a true portable rather than a stationary platform. Single-phase 115V and 230V variants are available, and the 115V config draws roughly 15 amps under load. The K15A-8P sits between Jenny’s hand-carry and full-size wheelbarrow models, and it competes with similar Rolair and Emax wheeled units. Typical applications are trim carpentry, light service work, mobile maintenance, and HVAC technicians who need a portable that runs reliably on a single 15-amp circuit.
