FS-Curtis CA10-H — 10 HP Air Compressor
A shop with low overhead clearance that's outgrown a 7.5 HP compressor needs both a genuine step up in output and a tank that fits under a low ceiling or mezzanine — this horizontal 10 HP unit delivers both.
The FS-Curtis CA10-H is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 10 HP with a 120 gallon horizontal ASME tank, built for shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day without paying for accessories they don’t need.
Who the CA10-H Is Built For
- ✅ A shop with limited overhead clearance that's outgrown a 7.5 HP compressor's output and needs 10 HP headroom without a tall vertical tank
- ✅ A multi-bay commercial shop running several air tools simultaneously that needs a low-profile tank tucked under a bench, shelf, or low ceiling
- ✅ An owner who's watched a smaller unit's tank run dry faster than it recovers on busy days and wants a genuine capacity upgrade
- ✅ A general repair or commercial shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's CA line and stepping up from CA7.5 as demand has grown
- ✅ A shop installing under a mezzanine or raised storage platform where the horizontal tank fits without cutting a notch
What the CA10-H Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or home garage use — a 5 or 7.5 HP unit is more cost-effective
- ❌ Shops needing built-in redundancy — look at the CA10-D duplex instead
- ❌ Three-phase-only electrical — no single-phase option at this HP tier
What Makes the CA10-H Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA10-H uses an E71, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage, 3-Cylinder pump built for daily, all-day duty cycles — not a hobby-grade single-stage unit that struggles under continuous shop use.
CFM & Pressure Output
Delivers 34.2 CFM @ 175 PSI and holds pressure up to 175 PSI, enough headroom to run impact wrenches, tire equipment, and paint tools without the tank running dry.
Power Requirements
Three-Phase, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- Low-clearance installs
- 10 HP headroom
- Multi-tech simultaneous draw
- Home garages / occasional use
- Shops needing single-phase power
