{"product_id":"quincy-q13160vq-air-compressor","title":"Quincy Air Compressor Q13160VQ 3.5 HP 60 Gallon Single Stage 230V 1 Phase","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuincy Q13160VQ — 3.5 HP, 60-Gallon Single-Stage Belt-Drive Air Compressor, 230 Volt\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost compressors are sold on one flow number. The \u003cstrong\u003eQ13160VQ\u003c\/strong\u003e is published with two — \u003cstrong\u003e14.6 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003e40 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e12.8 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003e100 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e — and that pair is the most useful thing on this page, because it is the only honest way to work out whether a compressor will actually keep up with your tools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEverything else follows from it: a single-stage cast-iron pump, belt driven, on a vertical \u003cstrong\u003e60-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank, for light commercial work and serious do-it-yourself projects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to read two flow points\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA compressor delivers more air at low pressure than at high, always. Quoting one figure without the pressure it was measured at is how two machines end up looking identical on paper and behaving nothing alike in a workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith both points published you can do the sum properly. Add up the air demand of the tools you will genuinely run at the same time, at the pressure they actually need, and compare it against the figure at that pressure. A brad nailer at low pressure and an orbital sander at working pressure are entirely different loads, and the difference between \u003cstrong\u003e14.6 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e12.8 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e across that range is exactly the information you need to tell them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe maximum pressure is \u003cstrong\u003e135 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e and the machine is fitted with a regulator, so the line pressure you set is separate from what the tank holds. Note that this is a single-stage pump: it is built for intermittent, varied work rather than the continuous high-pressure duty of the two-stage machines in this range. That is the right choice for most home and light commercial shops, and the wrong one for a production line.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat to confirm about the electrics\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished figures for the supply voltage differ: the product title and the voltage field for this product both give \u003cstrong\u003e230 Volt\u003c\/strong\u003e, while a separate motor field in the specification data gives \u003cstrong\u003e130 Volt\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each figure is attributed to its source here rather than one being picked for you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTreat \u003cstrong\u003e230 Volt\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1-Phase\u003c\/strong\u003e as the working assumption — it is what the title, the voltage field and the original manufacturer copy all state — and \u003cstrong\u003econfirm it with us before any wiring is ordered or any circuit is run.\u003c\/strong\u003e We will check it against a current Quincy sheet and put the answer in writing. It is a two-minute question and it is much cheaper asked now.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBuilt to last, and what that is made of\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe cylinder, valve plate and crankshaft are cast iron, and Quincy rates the pump beyond 10,000 hours. The head is aluminium with a special fin design, which is a cooling decision — a single-stage pump has no intercooler to lean on, so getting heat out of the head is the whole thermal strategy, and heat is what thins oil and shortens valve life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery unit is factory tested at \u003cstrong\u003e100%\u003c\/strong\u003e of full pressure before it leaves the plant. That is a real, checkable claim and worth more than most of what appears in feature lists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eControl is a start-stop pressure switch: the machine starts when tank pressure drops and stops when it recovers, which is the appropriate arrangement for intermittent work. There is an oil sight glass for the weekly check, and a fully enclosed belt guard that protects both the operator and the belt. Note that the tank drain is manual — no electronic drain valve is fitted, and draining it is the routine that decides whether the receiver rusts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit, and what will it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e60-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e tank stands upright: about \u003cstrong\u003e30\"\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003e22\"\u003c\/strong\u003e of floor and roughly \u003cstrong\u003e68\"\u003c\/strong\u003e tall. Measure to the underside of whatever is above the intended spot, and leave reach room for the gauge, the regulator, the sight glass and the drain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuincy specifies a \u003cstrong\u003e30 Amp\u003c\/strong\u003e breaker for this machine, which is a real circuit rather than an existing socket — plan on a dedicated one. There is no magnetic starter fitted, so discuss the switchgear with your electrician, and let them size conductors and protection for the length of your run and your local code.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e261 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e this is the lightest stationary machine in the range, but it is still tall, so a flat, solid, level pad matters. A tall tank on an uneven floor works its own mounts loose over time. The outlet is \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and no air dryer or filtration is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSerious home workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e — spray painting, airbrushing, drilling, general air tools.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight commercial shops\u003c\/strong\u003e whose demand comes in bursts rather than running all day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBuyers sizing carefully\u003c\/strong\u003e — the two published flow points make an honest calculation possible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpaces where a large two-stage machine is more compressor than the work needs.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe compressor complete: single-stage belt-drive splash-lubricated pump with cast-iron cylinder, valve plate and crankshaft and an aluminium finned head; motor; start-stop pressure switch; regulator; pressure gauge; oil sight glass; fully enclosed belt guard; and the vertical \u003cstrong\u003e60-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e coded tank with manual drain and a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot included:\u003c\/strong\u003e magnetic starter, air dryer, filtration, pipework — and, if you intend to hold the extended warranty, the maintenance kit, which has to be on the same order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eSupply\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRated power\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3.5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSupply\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e230 Volt AC, 1-Phase — see the note above; one field in our data conflicts and we would like to confirm it with you\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended breaker\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e30 Amp\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMagnetic starter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNot fitted\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControl\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eStart-stop pressure switch; regulator fitted\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch4\u003ePump and output\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSingle-stage, belt drive, splash lubricated\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCast iron cylinder, valve plate and crankshaft; aluminium finned head\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e14.6 CFM at 40 PSI; 12.8 CFM at 100 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e135 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStated pump life\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eIn excess of 10,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFactory test\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e100% of full pressure\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch4\u003eTank and dimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReceiver\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e60-gallon, vertical, coded pressure vessel\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOutlet\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrain\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eManual — no electronic drain valve\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e30\" × 22\" × 68\" high\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e261 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe data behind this listing claims a coded pressure vessel built to the American standard for the tank, and UL and CSA recognition on the electrical components.

That is a separate document, and some insurers, fleet standards and local inspectors ask for it by name on fixed equipment — a point with a little extra weight here, since no starter is fitted and the switchgear is therefore partly your specification. We will not let a tank stamp imply something broader. If that listing is a condition of your cover or your inspection, ask us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and receiving\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePalletised freight to the lower 48 states, priced live at checkout against your own address rather than from a table.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSort the unload before you order. The carrier's obligation ends at the tailgate, so a dock, a forklift, or a pallet jack on level ground is what you want on site — this is the lightest stationary machine here but it is not a two-person lift off a truck bed. Terminal pickup is the alternative if you have no equipment. Delivery to a home address is residential and carries a residential fee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect it before signing. Damage written on the bill of lading with the driver present is claimable; damage found afterwards on a clean signature usually is not.

That is a condition, not a formality, and it is the reason the kit is worth deciding on at the time of order rather than later — the extended cover includes on-site and labour service and covers defects in materials and workmanship, which is a strong position to hold on a machine you intend to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegister the unit when it is commissioned, and read the warranty page linked on this listing for the full terms. If anything is ambiguous, ask us before you buy rather than at claim time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne last standing rule: if the pump develops a fault, do not take it apart. A dismantled pump cannot be assessed for what failed first, and that assessment is what a claim rests on.
