It is the right tank for shops building a serious stationary compressor where floor space matters. Vertical orientation puts 80 gallons of air storage into a 24-inch diameter footprint — it fits in a corner, against a wall, or on a compressor skid without occupying the linear floor space a horizontal tank requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an ASME-coded vessel, which means it meets the standard for pressurized vessels in commercial and industrial applications. That is what you need for a stationary shop compressor used in a professional environment. It pairs correctly with 5-7.5 HP cast iron two-stage pumps and motors in the Castair lineup — enough buffer capacity to prevent short-cycling while keeping the installation compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTank Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80V200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 in diameter x 48 in tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 x 32 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCode Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME coded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Vertical Tank Has a Smaller Floor Footprint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompare the 80V200 to its horizontal counterpart, the 80H200: the horizontal tank is 20 in dia x 66 in long, while this vertical tank is 24 in dia x 48 in tall. The vertical tank is slightly wider in diameter but takes up far less floor space because all that length goes up instead of out. If your compressor is going in a corner or against a shop wall with limited floor depth, the vertical tank is often the practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13 x 32 in top plate on this tank is sized for mounting a pump-motor assembly directly on top — a common configuration for cast iron compressor builds where the pump mounts on the tank and is belt-driven from the motor. That keeps the entire assembly compact and makes the compressor portable with a pallet jack or forklift without needing a separate skid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eASME Code Compliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ASME-coded tank has been designed, fabricated, and tested to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers pressure vessel standard. It carries a stamped certification. This is what commercial and industrial air systems require — it is what your insurer expects and what a safety inspector will look for. If you are building a compressor for professional shop use, do not use a non-coded tank. The Castair 80V200 meets the standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching This Tank to Your Compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical sizing guideline for compressor tanks is 4-6 gallons of storage per CFM of pump output. An 80-gallon tank is correctly sized for a cast iron two-stage pump delivering roughly 13-20 CFM at 175-200 PSI working pressure. That covers the range of most 5-7.5 HP applications. The goal is enough tank volume that the pump runs for several minutes per cycle rather than short-cycling every 30-60 seconds. Short-cycling wears out motors and pumps far faster than steady run cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are running a 10 HP compressor with higher CFM output, step up to the 120-gallon vertical tank (part# 120V200) for better buffer capacity. If you are running a smaller 3-5 HP compressor for light shop use, the 60-gallon vertical (60V150, 150 PSI) may be sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230 lbs empty — use a pallet jack or forklift for positioning, do not try to hand-carry this\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Install a manual or automatic drain valve at the tank bottom — condensate collects at the lowest point and must be drained regularly to prevent corrosion from the inside out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Install an ASME-rated pressure relief valve appropriate for your compressor output — this is not optional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical tanks must be secured to prevent tipping — anchor to the floor or wall, especially if foot traffic or equipment movement is nearby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 13 x 32 in top plate accommodates pump-on-tank mounting configurations — verify your pump base dimensions before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVertical vs. Horizontal — Choosing Between the 80V200 and 80H200\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth tanks are 80 gallons, 200 PSI ASME coded, and 230 lbs.
