Porter Cable 150 PSI 6 Gallon Oil-Free Pancake Air Compressor

Description

Eliminate messy oil maintenance with the Porter Cable 6-Gallon Pancake Compressor to drive finish nailers, staple guns, and tire chucks without oil carryover risks. The compact oil-free pump generates 2.6 CFM at 90 PSI with a 150-PSI maximum tank cut-out pressure. Remodelers and flooring installers tackle interior trim installations without staining fine woodwork with pump lubricants. The oil-free wobble-piston pump generates standard direct-drive operating noise during rapid cycling.

Key Features of Porter Cable C2002

Flooring contractors and finish carpenters buy Porter Cable 6-Gallon Pancake Compressors to install interior casing and drive pneumatic trim tools. Compare commercial portable pancake compressor pricing to equip residential remodeling crews with lightweight pneumatic power.

• Pancake-style 6-gallon steel tank stores 150 PSI maximum pressure, providing stable air reserves for multiple finish nailers.
• Oil-free pump design delivers 2.6 CFM at 90 PSI with long service life, eliminating oil level checks and oil-stained work surfaces.
• Low-amp 120V electric motor starts cleanly in cold weather and runs smoothly on standard residential 15A circuits cleanly.
• Dual regulated air couplers allow two installers to work simultaneously off separate pneumatic air lines without pressure drops.
• Console shroud encases and protects dual pressure gauges, regulator knob, and electrical switches from accidental jobsite drops.
• Bottom quarter-turn tank drain valve clears accumulated water condensation fast without requiring pliers or special tools.

Robotic-welded heavy-gauge steel forms the circular pancake pressure vessel, finished in an impact-resistant red powder coat to stop corrosion from jobsite moisture. An engineered composite shroud protects the direct-drive universal motor and cooling fan from jobsite debris. The oil-free pump utilizes a self-lubricating PTFE piston seal riding against an aluminum cylinder bore. Sized for portable trunk storage, the bare compressor weighs 30 lbs with an exterior footprint of 17x17x19 inches.

Air Delivery Dynamic Bench Thresholds

Flowmeter bench testing verifies delivered air output records 2.6 CFM at 90 PSI and 3.5 CFM at 40 PSI, supporting fast finish nailer cycling on baseboards. Initial tank fill from zero to 150 PSI cut-out takes 150 seconds, with recovery from 120-PSI cut-in to 150-PSI cut-out completing in 40 seconds. Electrical draw measures 10 amps during peak cut-out pressure at 120V AC, preventing nuisance breaker trips when sharing outlets with shop lights. Tank metal welds withstand hydrostatic burst testing up to 300 PSI.

Finish Carpentry Negative Selection Filter

The integrated top carry handle balances the center of gravity comfortably in one hand while climbing jobsite stairs. Do not buy this 6-gallon pancake unit for commercial production framing crews running three framing nailers simultaneously, continuous sandblasting, or heavy automotive air impact wrenches.

• Open the bottom brass tank drain valve at the end of each working day to expel accumulated water condensation.
• Inspect air hose quick-disconnect O-rings for cracking or leaks before connecting pneumatic nailers.
• Blow airborne drywall and sawdust out of the cooling motor shroud vents weekly using an air blow gun.
