The tank stands upright, so the machine occupies a patch of floor \u003cstrong\u003e31.5 inches by 25.2 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e — about the plan area of a domestic refrigerator — and puts its volume in the air above instead of along a wall.

It is about which dimension of your building you have spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright machine wants ceiling and gives back floor: a corner, behind a lift column, the end of a bench run, the dead space beside a roller door. A horizontal machine wants a long wall and a low roof. Shops that regret the choice almost always picked on price or availability, then found the one dimension they were short of was the one the compressor needed. Measure first — a tank is not something you reposition once it is piped in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.5 inches by 25.2 inches. Add walking room on at least one side for the belt guard and the tank drain — a drain you cannot reach is a drain that never gets opened, and standing water is what rots a tank from the inside.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78 inches.

Schulz publishes no minimum concrete thickness or slab rating for this model and we are not going to invent one.

In the data Schulz supplies us for this particular listing, the output value is recorded without a unit beside it, and the pressure it is rated at is recorded in a separate field. Rather than guess which pairing is right and publish a flow figure that might be wrong for your job, we have left it off. What we can state from the data is the pump's \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum. If delivered flow is what decides your purchase — and for blasting, sanding or spray work it should be — contact us and we will confirm the rated figure with Schulz in writing before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a slow pump outlives a fast one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo-stage cast iron pumps like this one are built to turn slowly. That sounds like a disadvantage until you count what a revolution costs: every turn is a piston reversing direction twice, rings scrubbing a bore, valves slamming shut. Halve the speed and you roughly halve the number of those events per hour of running, and you cut the heat they generate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat is the mechanism behind nearly every way a compressor pump dies — it thins the oil, cooks the valve plates and bakes carbon onto the rings. The V-Series answers it in three ways at once. The cylinders are splayed apart so air can move between them, each barrel carries deep cooling fins, and the block is solid cast iron, which pulls heat out of the combustion of work and damps vibration on the way. Add oversized main bearings, Swedish steel valves and CNC-machined internals and you have a pump specified to run for years rather than to win a spec-sheet comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe starter is already wired, and that is worth money\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA magnetic starter comes mounted and prewired here. Without one, somebody has to select, source, mount and wire a starter and its overload before the machine can be switched on safely and legally — an hour or two of an electrician's time plus parts. With one, the electrician brings a supply to a terminal and commissions it. It also means the compressor trips properly on an overload instead of cooking a winding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTight two- and three-bay shops\u003c\/strong\u003e where floor area is the binding constraint and ceiling height is not.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome and hobby workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e that already have a 230V circuit run for a welder or a lift.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWoodworking and fabrication shops\u003c\/strong\u003e wanting a large stored volume so the motor is not cycling every few minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnyone replacing a worn single-stage unit\u003c\/strong\u003e and moving up to a two-stage pump and a much larger receiver.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Fitted\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWEG electric motor, 5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eV-Series solid cast iron two-stage pump, belt driven\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMounted and prewired magnetic starter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOversized main bearings and Swedish steel valves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCNC-machined components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNotched belts inside an enclosed belt guard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePowder-coated components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e80-gallon vertical ASME air receiver with safety valve and a 1\/2-inch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePressure gauge and oil sight glass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMotor and power\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e5 HP, WEG\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e230V AC\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhase\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1-phase\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStarter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMagnetic, mounted and prewired\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAmp draw \/ breaker\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eConsult a certified electrician\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePump\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, belt drive\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSolid cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLubrication\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOil lubricated, splash, sight glass\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAfter-cooler \/ air dryer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNo \/ No\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\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e80-gallon, vertical\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank outlet\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\/2-inch\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFootprint\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e31.5 inches by 25.2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e78 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e480 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe data for this compressor lists ASME, covering the air receiver and its safety valve.

We would rather draw that line ourselves than let one certification imply several. If an insurer, an inspector or a company standard requires a specific listing on fixed shop equipment, ask us before ordering and we will confirm in writing what this unit carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips by freight within the lower 48 states, quoted live at checkout for your address rather than from a fixed table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave the unload sorted first. At 480 lbs crated this is the lightest 80-gallon machine here, but it is still a forklift or pallet-jack item and no driver will move it into your building. Terminal pickup with a trailer works well for this one. Residential delivery is offered and carries a fee, shown at checkout. Inspect the crate with the driver and record any damage on the bill of lading before you sign — a clean signature makes a later claim very difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchulz collection from Acworth, GA is available.
