I718VC2 vs. I718VC2-S
Same compressor, same specs. The I718VC2-S adds the factory-mounted beltguard aftercooler (#BGAC1M). For spray painting, sandblasting, or pneumatic controls, get the -S. For general service work where moisture is less critical, the base I718VC2 works — and you can add an aftercooler in the field if needed.
