FS-Curtis CA7.5-H — 7.5 HP Air Compressor
Shops that need the extra output of a 7.5 HP pump but don't have the ceiling clearance for a tall vertical tank get both in this horizontal configuration — no compromise between capacity and where it physically fits.
The FS-Curtis CA7.5-H is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 7.5 HP with an 80 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 CA7.5-H Is Built For
- ✅ A shop working in a converted space with a low drop ceiling that's also outgrown a 5 HP compressor's output, needing both the extra CFM and the horizontal tank's low clearance at once
- ✅ A multi-tech operation running 2-3 air tools simultaneously where an undersized compressor means someone's tool starts losing pressure mid-job
- ✅ An owner who's outgrown the CA5/CA5+ line's output but doesn't yet need the cost and footprint of a full duplex setup
- ✅ A shop tucking the compressor under a mezzanine or raised storage platform where the low horizontal tank fits under the structure without cutting a notch, even at the higher 7.5 HP tier
- ✅ A general repair or commercial shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's CA Series and stepping up a tier as its air demand has grown past what a 5 HP unit can reliably support
What the CA7.5-H Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or home garage use — a 5 HP or smaller portable unit is more cost-effective
- ❌ Shops needing more than roughly 23-24 CFM continuous or wanting redundancy — look at a duplex configuration instead
- ❌ Budget-first buyers who don't yet need the extra HP over a 5 HP CA5/CA5+ unit
What Makes the CA7.5-H Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA7.5-H 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.
Power Requirements
Single or Three-Phase, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- 7.5 HP in a low-clearance tank
- Multi-tech simultaneous draw
- No vertical height needed
- Home garages / occasional use
- Shops needing full duplex redundancy
CA7.5-H vs. Atlas AF8P (5 HP, 80 Gal, w/ Plus Package) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CA7.5-H | Atlas AF8P (5 HP, 80 Gal, w/ Plus Package) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 7.5 HP / 80 Gal Horizontal | 5 HP / 80 Gal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 23.2 CFM | 19 CFM @ 175 PSI |
| Included accessories | Standard configuration, no bundled accessories | Plus Package (auto low-oil monitor, auto tank drain, aftercooler) |
| Best fit | Shops wanting more raw horsepower at the same 80-gallon tank size | Shops prioritizing factory accessories over extra HP |
Choose the CA7.5-H for more raw horsepower and CFM headroom in a low-clearance horizontal tank. Choose the Atlas AF8P if the Plus Package's auto-drain and low-oil monitoring matter more than the extra 2.5 HP. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
