FS-Curtis CA5 120G Duplex 5(2)HP Ultra Pack Air Compressor #CA5-DUP

FS-Curtis CA5-DUP — 5 HP (x2, Duplex) Air Compressor

The busiest shops need both the redundancy of a duplex pump setup and the factory-installed air-quality accessories that keep a high-volume operation running without someone manually draining tanks between jobs.

The FS-Curtis CA5-DUP is a duplex two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 5 HP (x2, Duplex) with a 120 gallon horizontal ASME tank, built for multi-bay shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day. The included Ultra Pack — factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — cuts down on the maintenance routine so your team spends less time babysitting the compressor and more time on paying work.

Who the CA5-DUP Is Built For

• ✅ A 3-shift automotive collision or fleet maintenance operation where a compressor outage during a Saturday rush means every bay stops billing at once, and the second pump keeping the line running pays for itself the first time it's needed
• ✅ A body shop where an aging single compressor has already failed mid-paint-job once, ruining a clear coat from an interrupted air supply, and won't risk repeating that with a customer's vehicle on the line
• ✅ A shop that's grown from one bay to three or four and outpaced its original simplex compressor's duty cycle, now needing both more air volume and a backup pump instead of running one unit into the ground
• ✅ An operator who's already standardized on FS-Curtis CA5 simplex units at other locations and wants the top Ultra Pack duplex tier for the flagship or highest-volume shop in the group
• ✅ A facility manager budgeting for a planned second-bay expansion in the next year who'd rather buy the headroom now than replace an undersized unit again in 18 months

What the CA5-DUP Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Single-bay or small shops — this is the most expensive configuration in the CA5 line and is overkill for lighter demand
• ❌ Budget-conscious buyers — the base CA5-D duplex without Ultra Pack saves meaningfully if the accessories aren't needed yet
• ❌ Shops with limited floor space — the 120-gallon duplex tank has a larger footprint

What Makes the CA5-DUP Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The CA5-DUP uses an E50 (x2), 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 34.8 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.

Ultra Pack Upgrades

Includes factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — upgrades that reduce maintenance and extend the life of the tank and pump versus a base-model compressor.

Power Requirements

Single or Three-Phase, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
