The Castair I538VC2-S is the largest vertical tank configuration in the 5HP three-phase Industrial Series — the C2 (larger) tank in the 38-series vertical lineup, with a factory-mounted magnetic starter. This is the maximum stored air you can get in a vertical footprint at 5HP three-phase. If your shop is tight on floor space but runs high air demand, this configuration gets you the most buffer capacity in the smallest horizontal footprint Cast Air offers at this power level.
Note: Manufacturer specification sheets for this model were not available at time of publication. Contact us for confirmed CFM output, operating PSI, and exact tank capacity before ordering.
