{"product_id":"castair-i518vc2-s","title":"Castair I518VC2-S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Castair I518VC2-S is the larger vertical tank version of Castair's 5HP single-phase industrial compressor series, with a factory-mounted magnetic starter. The VC2 designation means you get the larger C2 receiver in a vertical orientation — more stored air than the VC1, still with the space-saving vertical footprint. This is the choice when your shop needs maximum stored volume on single-phase power but cannot spare the floor space for a horizontal tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Manufacturer specification sheets for this model were not available at time of publication.
