Jenny K1S-BS

Jenny K1S-BS is a 1 HP single-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating piston compressor (Jenny K Series) delivering 7.4 SCFM at 40 PSI, designed specifically for dry-pipe fire sprinkler system air maintenance. Base-mount configuration (BS suffix, no integral tank) connects directly to the sprinkler system riser. Max pressure is 40 PSI, matched to typical dry-pipe sprinkler operating range. Voltage is 115V single-phase for standard outlet installation. Unit weighs 125 lbs. Retail pricing is approximately $1,860 from authorized Jenny distributors. The K1S-BS maintains system air pressure to prevent false triggers and minimize corrosion in dry-pipe sprinkler systems. Confirm NFPA 13 compliance and sprinkler system pressure requirements with a licensed fire protection contractor before installation. No factory datasheet was found on jennyproductsinc.com.
