FS Curtis CA7.5 7.5HP 80G, Ultra Pack, Vertical Simplex Air Compressor #CA7.5-VUP

FS-Curtis CA7.5-VUP — 7.5 HP Air Compressor

A shop with a narrow bay or tight wall space that's outgrown a 5 HP compressor's output needs the extra 7.5 HP headroom without giving up the vertical tank's smaller floor footprint — and without adding a separate dryer purchase later.

The FS-Curtis CA7.5-VUP is a two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 7.5 HP with an 80 gallon vertical 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 CA7.5-VUP Is Built For

• ✅ A shop with a tight footprint that's outgrown the CA5/CA5+ line's 5 HP output but still needs the vertical tank's narrower floor space
• ✅ A paint or finishing operation that wants the refrigerated dryer factory-installed instead of retrofitting it after a moisture-related job failure
• ✅ A one- or two-tech shop where nobody consistently drains the tank at close, wanting the auto-drain handled automatically
• ✅ An owner comparing this against the base CA7.5-V and deciding the accessory bundle is worth the price gap up front rather than adding it piecemeal later
• ✅ A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's Ultra Pack tier for consistent maintenance routines across multiple locations

What the CA7.5-VUP Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Home garages or single-bay shops doing occasional work — a smaller portable unit costs far less
• ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who don't need the extra accessories yet — the base CA7.5-V saves real money
• ❌ Shops needing more than roughly 23-24 CFM continuous or wanting redundancy — look at a duplex configuration instead

What Makes the CA7.5-VUP Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The CA7.5-VUP uses an E57, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage, 2-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 23.2 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.
