The Castair I533HC2 is the larger horizontal tank (C2) version of the 5HP three-phase industrial compressor, shipped without a starter. Same motor, same pump, and the same large receiver as the I533HC2-S — the difference is that this unit is for installations where the motor starter is field-supplied. If your facility has a three-phase panel with a dedicated motor starter circuit, or your electrical contractor is supplying the starter, this is the configuration to order.
Note: Manufacturer specification sheets for this model were not available at time of publication. Contact us for confirmed CFM output, operating PSI, and exact tank capacity before ordering.
