FS-Curtis CA13-H — 13 HP (Gas) Air Compressor

A shop working in a location without reliable electrical service — a job site, a barn, a remote bay — needs a compressor that doesn't care whether there's power nearby at all.

The FS-Curtis CA13-H is a gas-powered, two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 13 HP (Gas) with a 30 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 CA13-H Is Built For

  • ✅ A mobile or job-site operation working in locations without reliable electrical service, where a gas engine means the compressor runs regardless of power availability
  • ✅ A shop or farm building without existing electrical infrastructure where running new wiring would cost more than the compressor itself
  • ✅ An operator who needs backup air capability during a power outage that would otherwise shut down every electric compressor in the building
  • ✅ A buyer wanting Honda engine reliability specifically, versus the Kohler option on the CA14-K
  • ✅ A shop with occasional need for portable, self-contained air supply that doesn't require running an extension cord or new circuit

What the CA13-H Is NOT Built For

  • ❌ Shops with reliable, adequate electrical service already in place — an electric CA5/CA7.5/CA10 unit runs quieter, without fuel costs, and without exhaust
  • ❌ Indoor use without proper ventilation — gas engines produce exhaust that must be vented
  • ❌ Shops wanting the highest CFM per dollar — at 22 CFM for a 13 HP engine, this trades some efficiency for the gas-powered flexibility

What Makes the CA13-H Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The CA13-H uses an E57, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage 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 22 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

gas-powered (Honda engine), no electrical hookup required.

✅ Best For
  • No electrical hookup needed
  • Job-site / remote-location use
  • Honda engine reliability
❌ Not Ideal For
  • Shops with reliable power already
  • Indoor use without ventilation

CA13-H vs. Atlas AF13G (13 HP Gas, Honda Engine) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?

Frequently Asked Questions — FS-Curtis CA13-H

Why choose a gas-powered compressor over an electric one?

Gas-powered units like the CA13-H don't need any electrical hookup — useful for job sites, barns, remote bays, or as backup air supply during a power outage. Electric units are quieter and have no fuel/exhaust considerations, so they're the better choice if you already have adequate electrical service.

Can the CA13-H be used indoors?

Gas engines produce exhaust that must be vented — confirm proper ventilation before running this unit indoors. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 if you have questions about your specific location.

How much floor space does the CA13-H need?

The CA13-H measures 50" L x 24" W x 50" H and weighs 460 lbs — the most compact/portable unit in this batch.

What's the warranty on the CA13-H?

FS-Curtis backs the CA13-H with a 12-month standard manufacturer's warranty on the compressor pump and tank; the Honda engine itself typically carries its own separate Honda warranty — call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm engine warranty terms.
