FS-Curtis CA15-H — 15 HP Air Compressor
A shop that's maxed out a 10 HP compressor's output and doesn't want the complexity of a duplex setup needs the highest single-pump horsepower FS-Curtis's CA line offers.
The FS-Curtis CA15-H is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 15 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 CA15-H Is Built For
- ✅ A high-demand commercial shop that's maxed out a 10 HP compressor's continuous output and wants a single, more powerful pump instead of stepping up to duplex complexity
- ✅ An operation running heavy simultaneous tool use across multiple bays that needs 42.6 CFM without the added footprint and cost of two pumps
- ✅ A shop that's calculated the CA15-H's single-pump simplicity is more cost-effective than the CA10-DUP duplex for their specific demand profile
- ✅ A general repair or commercial shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's CA line and taking the top single-pump horsepower tier available
- ✅ An owner who values fewer moving parts and simpler maintenance over the redundancy a duplex setup provides
What the CA15-H Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or small shops — this is the highest-horsepower simplex unit in the CA line and is overkill for lighter demand
- ❌ Shops needing built-in redundancy — a single pump failure means the whole shop loses air; consider the CA10-DUP duplex instead
- ❌ Three-phase-only electrical — no single-phase option at this HP tier
What Makes the CA15-H Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA15-H uses an E15, 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 42.6 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.
- Highest single-pump HP in the CA line
- 42.6 CFM output
- Fewer moving parts than duplex
- Shops needing redundancy
- Shops needing single-phase power
CA15-H vs. FS-Curtis CA10-D (10 HP Duplex) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CA15-H | FS-Curtis CA10-D (10 HP Duplex) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 15 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal | 10 HP x2 / 120 Gal Horizontal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 42.6 CFM | 68.4 CFM |
| Redundancy | Simplex — single pump, no built-in backup | Duplex — two independent pumps, built-in backup |
| Best fit | Shops wanting simpler single-pump maintenance | Shops wanting the highest CFM and uptime redundancy |
Choose the CA15-H for the simplest single-pump setup at the highest available simplex horsepower. Choose the CA10-D if redundancy and higher combined CFM matter more than single-pump simplicity. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (817) 865-3707.
