Based on the SKU designation, this unit pairs a 7 HP class motor with a 120-gallon horizontal tank and a cast iron pump in configuration 2 — typically tuned for higher operating RPM. The factory-mounted magnetic starter (indicated by the -S suffix) means this unit ships ready for hardwired installation without sourcing a separate starter panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturer specifications for CFM, PSI, tank dimensions, and motor amperage are pending confirmation.
