{"product_id":"castair-i1038hc2-s","title":"Castair I1038HC2-S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Castair I1038HC2 is a 10-horsepower, 3-phase industrial air compressor on an 80-gallon horizontal tank with the C2 pump at 758 RPM — the non-starter companion to the I1038HC2-S. If your electrical installation already includes a properly rated magnetic motor starter for a 10HP 3-phase load, or if your electrician is supplying and mounting the starter as part of the panel work, this is the correct version to order. You get the same all-cast-iron C2 pump, the same 80-gallon ASME horizontal tank, and the same 35.0 CFM at 175 PSI output — without paying for a redundant starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStarter vs No Starter — What You Need to Know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 10HP 3-phase motor requires a magnetic motor starter with properly sized overload relays for safe operation. This is not optional — running a 3-phase motor without overload protection risks motor burnout and is a code violation in most jurisdictions. If you are ordering the non-starter version, confirm with your electrician that they are supplying and installing a starter rated for your voltage and motor amperage before the unit ships. If there is any uncertainty, order the I1038HC2-S with the factory-mounted starter instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePump and Machine Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll cast iron pump construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — cylinders, heads, crankcase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e758 RPM operating speed\u003c\/strong\u003e — slow-speed design for lower operating temperatures and extended pump life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapered roller bearings at both ends of the crankshaft\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel connecting rods with automotive-type insert bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e — at crankshaft and wrist pin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc and spring valves\u003c\/strong\u003e — field-serviceable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-ring pistons\u003c\/strong\u003e — better sealing, less oil carry-over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentrifugal unloader\u003c\/strong\u003e — loadless motor starts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80-gallon horizontal ASME tank\u003c\/strong\u003e — powder coated, channel base, 64x20x46 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASME safety valve\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1725 RPM industrial motor\u003c\/strong\u003e — 15% service factor minimum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotally enclosed metal belt guard\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopper discharge tube or stainless-steel braided flex line\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic starter: NOT included\u003c\/strong\u003e — must be sourced and installed separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e I1038HC2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-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 RPM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 758\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCFM @ 0 PSI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCFM @ 175 PSI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35.0\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 46 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 770 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1725 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Service Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15% minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Certification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic Starter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Air Compressor Factory Direct?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have specialized in industrial air compressors since 2016.
