A triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler further manages discharge temperature before compressed air reaches the receiver. The factory-installed magnetic starter provides motor overload protection. Note: the compressor measures approximately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e39\" × 24\" × 77\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and weighs 453 lbs, so verify ceiling clearance, access and floor conditions before installation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two-stage design compresses air in a larger first cylinder, cools it between stages, then compresses it again in the high-pressure cylinder. That interstage cooling helps control operating temperatures as the pump reaches its \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e175 PSI maximum pressure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, while the triple-pass aftercooler reduces the temperature of the air leaving the pump so more moisture can condense before entering the shop’s air system. The stainless steel valves are particularly important in this environment because they repeatedly cycle through hot, moisture-laden compressed air. A low-oil switch and oil sight glass provide additional protection and make routine oil-level checks straightforward. The vertical tank also keeps the floor footprint compact, making better use of limited shop space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis compressor is designed for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecommercial automotive shops, body and paint operations, and other professional facilities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with 208–230V three-phase power and regular compressed-air demand. It is especially useful where floor space is limited but sufficient overhead clearance is available for a 77\" vertical receiver. BelAire recommends a 30-amp breaker, while actual electrical requirements should be verified by a certified electrician based on the installation and local code. The source information gives conflicting descriptions of the tank drain, listing both automatic and manual versions, so confirm the drain type before ordering if automatic condensate removal is important to your setup. An air dryer is not included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePump and air\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, belt drive, solid cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eValves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAftercooler\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-pass, pump mounted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air at 175 PSI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.6 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air at 100 PSI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm with us — published figures differ.
