This is the same C1 cast iron pump, 80-gallon ASME horizontal tank, and industrial motor as the I513HC1-S, but without the factory-mounted starter. If your installation already has a suitable motor disconnect or starter in the electrical panel, or you plan to wire direct with appropriate overcurrent protection, the base unit is the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe C1 pump runs at 767 RPM and delivers 22.0 CFM free air and 17.5 CFM at 175 PSI. Single-phase power means this unit plugs into standard shop electrical without needing a phase converter or dedicated 3-phase service. For a 1-2 technician shop running impacts, ratchets, and air chisels through a normal work day, this is a solid, correctly-sized machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eC1 Pump — Construction Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump designation:\u003c\/strong\u003e C1 — Two-stage, Inline 2 cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated HP range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-7.5HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump RPM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 767\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlywheel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.875-2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% cast iron — cylinders, heads, valve plates, crankcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tapered roller bearings at both crankshaft ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnecting rods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision steel with automotive-type rod insert bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Disc and spring — field-replaceable without specialized tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePistons:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-ring for high efficiency and low oil carry-over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnloader:\u003c\/strong\u003e Centrifugal — loadless start-up every cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTank and Frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 gallons, horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder-coated ASME-rated steel with channel saddle frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME-rated, factory installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt guard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Totally enclosed metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDischarge lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper tubing or stainless braided flex line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMotor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1725 RPM industrial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15% minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax working pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor starter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included — add separately or use panel-mounted overcurrent protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 gallons, horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump:\u003c\/strong\u003e C1 (Two-stage, Inline 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump RPM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 767\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree air delivery (0 PSI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.0 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery at 175 PSI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.5 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 175 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (LxWxH):\u003c\/strong\u003e 64 x 20 x 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastair I513HC1 compressor — fully assembled base unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASME safety valve (factory installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure switch with unloader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotally enclosed metal belt guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper discharge and unloader tubing (or stainless braided flex line)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner's documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMagnetic motor starter NOT included — available separately or from your electrical supplier.
