Industrial Air Compressor 1.6 HP 20 Gallon Portable Cast Iron Belt Drive

Description

Garages battle tool pressure stalls using the Industrial Air 1.6HP 20-Gallon Compressor to operate pneumatic impact wrenches, ratchets, and tire chucks without breaker trips. A commercial 1.6 HP induction motor drives an oil-lubricated cast-iron 1-stage pump producing 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI across a horizontal 20-gallon ASME tank up to 135 PSI. Home mechanics complete brake jobs with fast recovery. The motor draws 15 FLA at 120V 1-phase, operating on dedicated 20A branch circuits.

Solid ASTM Class 30 cast iron forms the 2-cylinder pump block, crankcase, and deep-finned cylinder head, delivering superior thermal conductivity and long cylinder bore life. Heavy-gauge certified pressure-vessel steel forms the horizontal 20-gallon ASME receiver tank, finished in durable industrial red powder coat. Ten-inch semi-pneumatic wheels and an ergonomic steel pull handle provide shop mobility. Sized for home garages, the wheeled compressor weighs 142 lbs, measuring 38x19x30 inches.

1-Stage Shop Recovery Dynamic Bench Limits

Flowmeter bench testing confirms actual delivered air output measures 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI and 6.8 CFM at 40 PSI, supporting 1/2-inch air impact wrenches during tire rotations cleanly. Tank pump-up from zero to 135 PSI cut-out completes in 230 seconds, with recovery cycle time from 105-PSI cut-in to 135-PSI cut-out clocking at 45 seconds across the 20-gallon tank. Operating at a low 1050 RPM, pump cylinder head temperatures stabilize at 160 degrees Fahrenheit during multi-hour testing runs in 90-degree ambient shop weather.

Key Features of Industrial Air ILA1682066-H

Automotive enthusiasts and commercial garage mechanics buy Industrial Air 1.6HP 20-Gallon Compressors to run air ratchets, impact guns, and paint touch-up sprayers. Compare commercial portable horizontal shop air compressor pricing to upgrade your garage pneumatic equipment platform.

• Solid 100-percent cast-iron 1-stage pump delivers 5.3 CFM at 90 PSI, running cool at low RPM for long commercial service life cleanly.
• ASME-certified 20-gallon horizontal steel pressure vessel buffers air demands during heavy automotive tool use cleanly.
• Commercial 1.6 HP electric motor features manual thermal overload reset protection and reliable 120V 1-phase operation cleanly.
• Cast-iron flywheel with deep fan blades drives high-velocity cooling air across cylinder fins to lower operating heat cleanly.
• Ten-inch semi-pneumatic wheels and balanced steel pull handle provide smooth mobility across cracked garage floors cleanly.
• Dual brass quick-connect couplers allow two operators to run air hoses simultaneously off a single compressor cleanly.

Garage Shop Negative Selection Filter

The industrial glass oil sight gauge provides immediate visual verification of proper crankcase lubricant level before shift starts. Do not purchase this 1-stage compressor for industrial sandblasting requiring over 15 CFM continuously, commercial multi-booth paint lines, or sharing 15A household circuits with other appliances. Routine maintenance requires draining condensed tank moisture daily through the bottom brass ball valve, checking drive belt tension every 500 operating hours, and changing synthetic compressor oil every 500 operating hours.

Factory Warranty Hardware Manifest
