FS-Curtis CA5 5HP 80G Ultra Pack, Horizontal Simplex Air Comp #CA5-HUP

FS-Curtis CA5-HUP — 5 HP Air Compressor

Tight overhead clearance shouldn't mean giving up factory-installed air-quality accessories — this horizontal Ultra Pack keeps the low-profile tank while still bundling in the auto-drain and dryer equipment a busier shop needs.

The FS-Curtis CA5-HUP is a two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 5 HP with an 80 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-HUP Is Built For

• ✅ A detail or finishing shop working in a converted low-bay space where a 51" tank clears the ceiling but the crew still needs the refrigerated dryer to keep moisture out of clear-coat and paint lines
• ✅ A shop that's tired of a tech forgetting to drain the tank overnight and finding rust starting inside an older unit, wanting the auto-drain handled automatically instead of hoping someone remembers
• ✅ An owner replacing a worn single-stage compressor under a low mezzanine or storage platform who wants to jump straight to a fully-equipped two-stage setup instead of buying the base unit and retrofitting accessories later
• ✅ A multi-bay shop running paint guns and air tools simultaneously where consistent, moisture-free air pressure directly affects job quality, not just tool performance
• ✅ A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's Ultra Pack tier across multiple locations so every unit has the same accessory bundle and maintenance routine

What the CA5-HUP Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who don't need the extra accessories yet — the base CA5-H saves real money
• ❌ Shops needing more than roughly 17-18 CFM continuous — look at the CA7.5 or a duplex unit instead
• ❌ Home garages doing occasional weekend work

What Makes the CA5-HUP Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The CA5-HUP uses an E50, 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 17.4 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.
