The Quincy 2V41C60VC 5 HP compressor is a 230V single-phase, two-stage machine built for 100% continuous-duty operation with a 60-gallon vertical receiver and 175 PSI maximum working pressure. Before ordering, plan the electrical installation: this model has no magnetic starter or power cord supplied, Quincy specifies a 50-amp breaker, and installation must be performed by a qualified technician. The pump uses a splash-lubricated cast-iron design with an aluminum head, stainless steel reed valves, and a balanced cast-iron flywheel, providing a practical stationary compressor for demanding shop and garage use.
The two-stage pump compresses air in steps, with a high-efficiency finned-tube intercooler cooling the air between stages before it enters the second cylinder. That reduces heat during compression and helps the machine maintain its 175 PSI working capability under extended operation. The low-speed pump, industrial-grade bearings, extra-capacity oil reservoir, and low oil pump temperature protection are designed to support the 100% duty cycle, while the balanced flywheel helps control vibration and directs cooling air across the pump. The stainless steel reed valves provide corrosion resistance, and the aluminum head helps dissipate heat generated during operation.
This compressor is well suited to single-bay automotive shops, serious home garages, and smaller workspaces with 230V single-phase service that need more capacity than a portable compressor can provide. Its 60-gallon vertical receiver occupies approximately 29" × 21" of floor space and stands about 70" tall, with a total weight of 475 lbs. Confirm panel capacity, ceiling clearance, floor condition, and access before delivery. Because there is no factory magnetic starter, coordinate the appropriate starter, switchgear, wiring, and disconnect with your electrician. The 1/2" tank outlet and manual drain also mean downstream air treatment and routine tank draining should be incorporated into the installation.
What That Means in Practice
Budget for switchgear, wiring and electrical installation alongside the compressor. This 5 HP, 230V single-phase model requires a 50-amp breaker according to Quincy, so confirm that your panel has sufficient capacity and an available double-pole position before ordering.
A magnetic starter is not included with this configuration. The motor has built-in thermal overload protection, while the required starter and disconnect should be selected and installed by a qualified electrician based on the installation and local code.
Continuous Duty & Cooling
The pump is rated for a 100% duty cycle and uses a low-speed, splash-lubricated cast-iron design with an extra-capacity oil reservoir, low-oil pump-temperature protection, industrial-grade bearings and a balanced cast-iron flywheel.
Two-stage compression passes air through a high-efficiency finned-tube intercooler between stages before reaching the 175 PSI rated pressure. The aluminum head helps with heat dissipation, while stainless-steel reed valves provide corrosion resistance and durability.
Cylinder Count: Please Confirm
The product information gives conflicting cylinder counts in different sections. Rather than guess, we recommend confirming the exact cylinder configuration with us against a current Quincy specification sheet if it matters to your purchase.
Air Delivery: Please Confirm
Our specification record lists 15.2 CFM at 175 PSI, but the unit of measure is not independently established elsewhere in the product data. Because air-system sizing depends on an accurate flow rating, confirm the factory CFM figure before designing your piping or selecting downstream equipment.
Will It Fit?
The 60-gallon vertical receiver requires approximately a 29" × 21" footprint, stands about 70" tall and weighs 475 lb.
Verify ceiling height and service clearance around the gauge, belt guard and drain. Install the compressor on a flat, solid, level surface.
The tank has a 1/2" outlet and manual drain. No air dryer, filtration or regulation is included, so downstream air treatment must be supplied separately.
Perfect For
- Single-bay shops and serious home garages with 230V single-phase service.
- Buyers with adequate panel capacity and access to qualified electrical installation.
- Continuous-duty applications such as sanding, blasting and extended air-tool use.
- Shops where a larger stationary compressor will not fit.

Certification, Stated Plainly
The receiver is a coded pressure vessel built to the applicable American standard and fitted with pressure relief valves. The motor carries UL and CSA electrical certifications, and Quincy states that the unit is built in the U.S.A.
These claims do not establish a third-party safety listing for the complete assembled machine. Because the starter and wiring are specified for the installation, confirm any complete-unit listing requirements with your insurer, fleet standard or local inspector before ordering.
Shipping & Receiving
Palletized freight is available within the lower 48 states, with shipping calculated live at checkout based on your delivery address.
Plan the unloading in advance. The carrier delivers to the tailgate, so you need a loading dock, forklift or pallet jack on firm, level ground. Without suitable equipment, arrange terminal pickup and collect the pallet yourself. Residential delivery carries an additional fee.
Inspect the shipment before signing. Check the pallet, crate and compressor for visible damage, photograph anything questionable and record it on the bill of lading while the driver is present.
Warranty
The compressor includes a 1-year factory warranty, with coverage extending to Quincy's 3-year “No Bull” warranty under the manufacturer’s conditions. Review the warranty documentation for the requirements that apply to this model before relying on the extended term.
If the pump develops a fault, do not disassemble it before contacting us. Keep the equipment assembled so the failure can be inspected before repairs are attempted.
