Based on the model number structure, this is a 4HP-class (43 designates approximately 4HP) 3-phase unit paired with a 60-gallon horizontal tank. It operates on 230V 3-phase power, which is standard in most shops with 3-phase service. The horizontal tank layout keeps the overall height low — useful when ceiling clearance is limited or when a lower center of gravity is preferred for stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: The R433HP60-230 was not listed individually on Castair's website at time of writing.
