Please Call Us At 877-283-7614 or Email Us For A Lead Time This is our Factory-Direct 5.5 HP Honda Driven, V-2 Cylinder, 100% Cast Iron Construction Compressor. We have been building top-quality compressors here at our factory for over 31 years. We build ONLY the best quality or we do not build it!!! This has a 5-year parts warranty Except on the Honda Motor. The Motor carriers a 3 year warranty from Honda Only. This warranty is NOT a limited warranty or pro-rated warranty. There are companies offering from a 1 year to a 5 year warranty. Make sure when you buy that you are buying a FULL warranty, not a pro-rate warranty. Just remember, a pro-rated warranty means the older it gets in the warranty period, the more risk the customer has. The percentage is higher that you pay out of your pocket. Read this information below carefully and compare it to our competition. We have seen so many compressor companies that are telling untrue CFMs on their compressors and phony HPs on their motors. The best way to get around this and find out the truth is to compare the size of the tank and the pump-up time it takes to pump it to a certain pressure, plus get the RPM that the pump is running to get it to that pressure. There are so many compressors that I see on the market that are not close to what they are claiming on the HP or CFM, but the pump-up time will tell the truth. The pump-up time on this 17-Gallon tank from 0-135 PSI is 2 minutes @ 1130 Pump RPM. This unit is not high RPM. It is a medium-low RPM. What I mean by “medium” is our compressors all run 600-800 RPMs. This is a single stage pump which will not give you higher pressures like a 2-stage, but will give you more volume of air, just not high pressure. The maximum RPM on this pump is 1130. I have this same pump running at this RPM in many shops still running today without being touched. This pump has all cast-iron cylinder head, crankcase, cylinder walls, valve plates, flywheel and crankshaft. There are many of our competition here on the internet that are claiming an all cast-iron pump, and it is UNTRUE! It is hard to tell if their pump is cast iron because the aluminum is painted over. A simple test for cast iron…take an ordinary magnet with you when shopping for your air compressor. If it doesn’t stick to the head, you know it is aluminum. I have had so many customers come in our factory showroom and tell us that a certain brand name (?) is all cast iron when I know it is not. I would tell them about the magnet test and about every one of them would come back and say “You were right!”. This pump is a V-style compressor which runs much cooler than an in-line style or one piston in-line with the other. The problem with the in-line single stage is the back cylinder does not get air off of the flywheel for cooling. Under industrial applications, your pump will run hot. Not with the V-style. The V-style in a single stage is the way to go for long compressor life and cool compressor running. We use the HONDA engine -- We need to say no more! Everybody knows Honda and the quality they have. This engine has much better starting than most of our competition and the slant cylinder design makes it much smoother than the vertical cylinder engines on the market. This engine has an overhead valve system. It also has low-oil shutdown. Our tank is the best quality in the gas-drive market. It is rated for a maximum pressure of 200 PSI. This unit will pump to a maximum of 135 so the tank has much more capacity than the compressor will put out. This tank is ASME certified. This means it is certified by the U.S. Government to work at 200 PSI at a maximum working temperature of 450o and is U.S. made. If you check our twin tank rivals, they use a non-code tank which means it is not ASME certified. The tank is much thinner and will rust out much faster if not drained from condensation. There are many states that will not allow a non-code tank to be used. California is one of them. Non-code tanks can be very dangerous and in some cases can explode causing serious injury. This unit has pneumatic tires, one on each side of the tank. This makes for stable rolling around, unlike most units with only one wheel in the middle. One wheel is ok, but not as stable when you are rolling it around. This unit is equipped with an engine idle down. This is hooked to the unloader valve on the compressor. When the unit gets up to pressure and unloads the head, it also idles the engine down. This unit also has rubber handle grips on each handle for good handle gripping. Unit has a handle on the other end so 2 men can load it easily. This unit has a heavy-duty 13-guage belt guard fabricated for this unit here at the factory and is OSHA approved. This unit also has a 3/4 ” regulator included – it is an $84.00 option that we include on this unit. This makes it nice because by going 3/4 ” as opposed to most units on the market with 1/4 ”, you will not lose volume or pressure because it is too small. You can bush it down from 3/4 ” to the size of your fittings. This unit has V-belt drive, not poly-V. V-belt is much more dependable and will last much longer without belt slippage. We use a cast-iron drive pulley on the Honda engine. Cast-iron pulley will last much longer than an aluminum pulley. We also use metal filters instead of plastic. This unit is equipped with 2 automotive style air filters. This compressor has a CFM Displacement of 13. This CFM is the bore of the cylinder times the stroke or the distance the piston travels times the RPM the pump is running (1130 RPM) at zero pressure. As you go up in pressure, the higher you go, the less CFM you get. For example, this pump has 13 CFM Displacement at zero PSI and has 9.7 @ 90 PSI. You can see as you go up in pressure, your CFM will diminish. Most people think the opposite…the more air pressure you have the more air you are getting, but this is the opposite- - the more pressure you have the LESS air you are getting. I am going to list the options included on this compressor. Print this off and take it to your compressor dealer and start comparing and you will see we are giving you more than anyone on the market for the money. Also, do not be tricked by companies offering FREE SHIPPING! Let me tell you…there is NOTHING for free…it is added into the price. They are stripping a lot off the unit and you are really paying the freight. 200 PSI ASME-Certified Tank ($100.00 more than non-code twin tank) Raised-mounted platform under compressor pump- this raises the pump and allows air flow under the crankcase to help cool your oil ($40.00 value) 3/4 ” Regulator – Industrial Quality installed on the unit ($84.00 value) The advantage of buying from our company is that you are in direct contact with the factory who knows air compressors (because WE build them). The problem from buying from most dealers is that they do not even know how the compressor operates or how to fix it. This unit’s warranty is covered by our 24-hour, 7 days/week here at the factory. If you would have a warranty issue, someone is here to take your call anytime of the day or night (not an answering service) and stock all warranty parts for this unit for IMMEDIATE shipment. Most dealers do not stock all parts for their unit. They have to order it. This makes downtime for you, the customer, that you do not need. We hardly ever see a warranty. We have the best warranty in the business because of the quality and pride put into our unit. We pretest this unit at our factory. We run it for approximately 1 hour to make sure it is working properly before it leaves our factory. We can provide you with references if you wish to contact any of our customers. Email us with your City, State, and Zip of ship to destination to receive a freight quote. We give some of the most competitive shipping rates---but we do not "bump up" the unit cost and then claim "free shipping"! You can also pick the unit up here at our factory to save on freight.
