FS-Curtis ML7.5-SV — 7.5 HP Air Compressor
A narrow bay with tall ceilings has outgrown a 5 HP compressor's output, and the owner needs the extra CFM of the 7.5 HP tier without giving up the vertical tank's smaller floor footprint.
The FS-Curtis ML7.5-SV is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 7.5 HP with an 80 gallon vertical 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 ML7.5-SV Is Built For
- ✅ A shop with a narrow bay or tight wall footprint that has the ceiling clearance for a vertical tank and has outgrown a 5 HP compressor's output
- ✅ An owner who wants the lower entry price of a base configuration and plans to add accessories later if needed
- ✅ A shop with an existing air dryer or filtration system already installed, not needing factory-bundled accessories
- ✅ A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's ML Series for parts and service commonality, starting at the base tier
- ✅ An operation replacing an aging compressor that's struggled under real multi-tool load and needs the 7.5 HP tier's extra headroom
What the ML7.5-SV Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops with low ceiling clearance — the 75" height may not fit under a low mezzanine; the horizontal ML7.5-SH is a better fit there
- ❌ Shops whose demand is fully covered by a 5 HP unit — the ML5 line saves real money if 19 CFM is enough
- ❌ Shops wanting factory auto-drain/dryer accessories standard — look at the ML7.5-VUP instead
What Makes the ML7.5-SV Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The ML7.5-SV uses a C79, 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 28.7 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.
- Compact vertical footprint
- 7.5 HP daily-duty output
- Lower entry price, no bundled accessories
- Low-ceiling installations
- Shops fully covered by 5 HP
ML7.5-SV vs. FS-Curtis ML7.5-SH (7.5 HP, Horizontal tank) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | ML7.5-SV | FS-Curtis ML7.5-SH (7.5 HP, Horizontal tank) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 7.5 HP / 80 Gal Vertical | 7.5 HP / 80 Gal Horizontal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 28.7 CFM | 28.7 CFM |
| Tank orientation | Vertical — smaller floor footprint | Horizontal — lower overall height |
| Best fit | Shops with tight floor space but taller ceilings | Shops with low ceiling clearance |
Choose the ML7.5-SV when floor space is the bigger constraint and you have the ceiling height for a vertical tank. Choose the ML7.5-SH when ceiling clearance is limited and you want a lower-profile unit. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
