FS-Curtis CA10-V — 10 HP Air Compressor
A shop that's outgrown its 7.5 HP compressor and needs a genuine step up in continuous output — not just a slightly bigger tank — needs a 10 HP pump with the CFM to match multiple simultaneous tools.
The FS-Curtis CA10-V is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 10 HP with a 120 gallon vertical 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-V Is Built For
- âś… A multi-bay commercial shop that's outgrown a 7.5 HP compressor's output during simultaneous tool use across several techs, needing genuine 10 HP headroom
- âś… An owner who's watched a smaller unit's tank run dry faster than it recovers on busy days and wants to eliminate that bottleneck for good
- âś… A shop with a narrow bay or tight wall space where the vertical tank's smaller floor footprint matters even at the 10 HP tier
- âś… A general repair or commercial shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's CA line and stepping up from CA7.5 as demand has genuinely grown
- âś… A buyer comparing 10 HP simplex against duplex options and choosing the simpler single-pump setup at a lower up-front cost
What the CA10-V Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or home garage use — a 5 or 7.5 HP unit is more cost-effective for lighter demand
- ❌ Shops needing built-in redundancy — look at the CA10-D duplex instead, since this simplex unit has no built-in backup
- ❌ Three-phase-only electrical — this unit does not offer a single-phase option, unlike the CA5/CA5+/CA7.5 line
What Makes the CA10-V Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA10-V 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.
- 10 HP headroom over 7.5 HP units
- Vertical footprint
- Multi-tech simultaneous draw
- Home garages / occasional use
- Shops needing single-phase power
CA10-V vs. FS-Curtis CA7.5-V (7.5 HP Simplex) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CA10-V | FS-Curtis CA7.5-V (7.5 HP Simplex) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 10 HP / 120 Gal Vertical | 7.5 HP / 80 Gal Vertical |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 34.2 CFM | 23.2 CFM |
| Electrical | Three-Phase only | Single-Phase or Three-Phase |
| Best fit | Shops needing more raw CFM headroom | Shops wanting single-phase electrical flexibility |
Choose the CA10-V for more raw CFM output when you've genuinely outgrown the 7.5 HP tier. Choose the CA7.5-V if single-phase electrical is a requirement — the CA10 line is three-phase only. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
