The horizontal tank configuration keeps the overall height low — useful in shops with limited overhead clearance or when you need the compressor to fit under a workbench or mezzanine. The mounted starter means the electrical control is already integrated into the unit — you run power to the starter, not directly to the motor, and you get built-in overload protection for the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete compressor package minus only the power connection. The C2 pump series paired with a 50-gallon horizontal tank is a solid fit for single-bay shops, detail bays, and light commercial applications where demand is moderate and continuous-run isn't required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2HP Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-phase commercial motor — verify voltage requirements (115V or 230V) for your electrical service before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50-Gallon Horizontal Tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal orientation keeps the compressor profile low; 50 gallons provides adequate reserve for intermittent tool use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounted Magnetic Starter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated motor starter with overload protection — connect power to the starter rather than directly to the motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast Air Pump:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron reciprocating pump built for commercial-duty service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank, pump, motor, starter, and pressure controls assembled — connect power and air line and run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Switch Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic start\/stop based on tank pressure — set your cut-in and cut-out points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e C213H50-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounted magnetic starter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eCFM output, max PSI, voltage, dimensions, weight — contact us for complete specifications and pricing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHorizontal vs. Vertical Tank — Which Is Right?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horizontal C213H50-S and the vertical C216V50-S serve the same 2HP \/ 50-gallon application in different physical footprints. The horizontal tank is longer and lower — it rolls on casters easily and fits under low ceilings, but takes up more floor length. The vertical tank (C216V50-S) stands tall with a smaller floor footprint — better for corner installations in tight spaces. Same pump and motor, different tank orientation. Choose based on your available space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWith Starter (-S) vs. Without Starter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C213H50-S includes the mounted magnetic starter. The C213H50 (same unit, no \"-S\") ships without the starter — you supply your own motor control. If you're installing this compressor in a facility with an existing motor control center or if your electrician wants to use specific starter hardware, the base unit without the mounted starter gives you that flexibility. If you want a complete, self-contained package, order the -S version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bay auto repair shops with moderate air demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail shops running spray guns and air tools intermittently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall fabrication shops with general pneumatic tool use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight commercial and contractor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From OEM Diagnostic Tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast Air commercial compressors for shops and industrial facilities — we've been the specialist supplier since 2016.
