Product Details
The FS-Curtis FCT05C55V6X-A2L1XX is a 5 HP, two-stage piston compressor with a 60-gallon vertical tank and a maximum pressure of 175 PSI, designed for 1-phase 230V operation. This CT Series standard package features 100% cast-iron cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and high-pressure pistons, ensuring significant durability compared to aluminum components. The deep-finned cast-iron cylinders and heads promote cooler operation, while the industry-leading construction provides extreme durability. The ductile iron crankshaft enhances strength and corrosion resistance, reducing the likelihood of breakage. Quality components are built to last, contributing to superior compressor life. A high-flow, heavy-duty stainless steel channel valve system delivers more CFM per horsepower, and precision-fit industrial-grade main roller bearings support all rotating parts for extended pump life. The robust intercooler increases compressor efficiency, and the conveniently located oil level sight glass facilitates easy monitoring. A metal intake filter/silencer outperforms plastic options, and the overall industrial design emphasizes value, offering robust performance at a lower cost. This compressor provides higher pressures and longer life than single-stage models, adhering to world-class quality design standards consistent with other FS-Curtis products, while its slow-turning pump design further increases longevity. The system is built to robust standards that set the CT series apart from comparable entry-level models.
