FS-Curtis CA10 120G 10HP Vertical Simplex Air Compressor #CA10-V

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

• ✅ 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
• ✅ 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
• ✅ 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
• ✅ A general repair or commercial shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's CA line and stepping up from CA7.5 as demand has genuinely grown
• ✅ 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.
