FS-Curtis CA14-K — 14 HP (Gas) Air Compressor
A shop that prefers Kohler engines over Honda — for parts availability, dealer familiarity, or just brand preference — gets the same gas-powered flexibility as the CA13-H with a slightly larger engine and a lower price.
The FS-Curtis CA14-K is a gas-powered, two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 14 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 CA14-K Is Built For
- ✅ A fencing, land-clearing, or mobile welding crew that spends most of its day at job sites with no utility power at all, where running a generator just to power an electric compressor adds a second engine to maintain instead of one
- ✅ A farm or rural shop building without existing three-phase or even adequate single-phase service, where the cost of a new electrical panel and run would exceed the price of this compressor outright
- ✅ A dealer or fleet shop that keeps this unit specifically as backup air for the one or two days a year the grid goes down and every electric compressor in the building goes dark with it
- ✅ A shop with a strong Kohler-parts relationship through an existing mower or generator dealer, preferring Kohler over Honda for local service and parts availability
- ✅ A buyer prioritizing the lowest price point among the gas-drive options in this batch, since the CA14-K undercuts the CA13-H while delivering comparable output
What the CA14-K 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 or exhaust
- ❌ Indoor use without proper ventilation — gas engines produce exhaust that must be vented
- ❌ Buyers with a strong Honda preference — the CA13-H offers the same gas-powered flexibility with a Honda engine instead
What Makes the CA14-K Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA14-K 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 22.5 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 (Kohler engine), no electrical hookup required.
- No electrical hookup needed
- Kohler engine preference
- Job-site / remote-location use
- Shops with reliable power already
- Buyers with a Honda preference
