Based on the model number pattern and Castair's commercial series lineup, this unit uses the same pump as the C518HA8 (1,088 RPM, 23.7 CFM @ 0 PSI, 18.3 CFM @ 100 PSI at 230V\/22A) but with the added starter assembly. The -S suffix on Castair compressors consistently indicates a factory-mounted and wired starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The C513HA80-S does not appear in Castair's published commercial series spec table under this exact model number. Specifications above are inferred from Castair's established model naming conventions and the C518HA8 specs. Contact us or Castair to confirm exact specs for this configuration before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e80-Gallon Horizontal Tank — More Reserve, Same Pump\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80-gallon horizontal tank holds nearly three times the air volume of the 30-gallon C513HA8. This matters in a shop context: a larger tank means fewer pump cycles per hour for the same air demand, less heat build-up in the pump, and more reserve air for tools that have high momentary draw. A tire changer or sandblasting cabinet, for example, draws far more air momentarily than continuously — a larger tank handles those peaks without the pump struggling to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horizontal layout on the 80-gallon tank (approximately 64 x 20 x 41 inches based on the C518HA8) is long and low — it rolls or tucks into equipment bays more easily than a vertical 80-gallon tank, but it requires significantly more floor length. Check your installation space before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Iron Pump — Commercial Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil-lubricated cast iron pump:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for sustained commercial use, not a consumer unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-stage compression:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 PSI factory shutoff — right for most shop air tool applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1,088 RPM pump speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Significantly slower than consumer units — less heat, longer valve life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-twin cylinder layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth running with 360-degree cooling around both cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive-type paper element air filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean intake air, quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSight glass for oil level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy inspection without disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall bearing main bearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Superior crankshaft support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBleeder pressure switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Load-less motor starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFactory-Mounted Magnetic Starter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe -S configuration includes a factory-mounted magnetic motor starter. At 5HP on single-phase 230V, a magnetic starter is optional but provides enhanced motor protection — particularly overload protection that a standard pressure switch doesn't offer. The factory-mounted starter means it's pre-wired; your electrician connects the incoming 230V single-phase feed to the starter and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Configurations
