The vertical configuration is the right choice when floor space matters more than ceiling clearance — a vertical tank has a significantly smaller footprint than a horizontal tank of the same capacity, which lets you tuck it into a corner or along a wall without eating up valuable shop floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mounted magnetic starter integrates motor control directly into the unit. Run your power feed to the starter box, and you get built-in overload protection plus a convenient local on\/off control. The compressor is otherwise complete — pump, motor, tank, pressure switch, and safety valve — ready to connect power and an air line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2HP Commercial Motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Verify voltage requirements (115V or 230V single-phase) for your electrical service before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50-Gallon Vertical Tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical orientation minimizes floor footprint — ideal for corner installations and shops with limited floor space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounted Magnetic Starter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated motor starter with overload protection — cleaner installation, better motor protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast Air Pump:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron reciprocating pump for commercial duty cycle service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Switch Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic cut-in\/cut-out maintains tank pressure within your set range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Relief Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank-mounted overpressure protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only power and air connections required on-site\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 C216V50-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 Vertical\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\u003eVertical vs. Horizontal — Space Planning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 50-gallon horizontal tank is typically around 54-60\" long and sits maybe 30\" high. A 50-gallon vertical tank is typically 60-66\" tall with a footprint of roughly 18-22\" diameter. If your shop ceiling is 8 feet or higher and floor space is tight, the vertical tank wins. If you have a low ceiling or need to roll the compressor under something, horizontal is the answer. The C216V50-S (vertical, with starter) and C213H50-S (horizontal, with starter) are otherwise the same unit — same pump, same motor, different tank orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-bay auto shops — fits in a corner, minimal floor footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail bays and tire service areas with limited space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall body shops or specialty bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny 2HP-appropriate application where floor space is the constraint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From OEM Diagnostic Tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast Air compressors for commercial shops, fleets, and light industrial use — specialist supplier since 2016.
