Description
SIZE ISN’T EVERYTHING.
You won’t find a more cost-effective light-duty air compressor for your 1-gallon tank. The Viair 97C Silver Air Compressor delivers world-class performance in an unbelievably compact package, providing 1.53 CFM, able to recharge a 1-gallon tank from 90-130 PSI in only 45 seconds while only pulling 12 amps! The Viair 97C’s output and small installation footprint make it ideal for light pneumatic use, such as motorcycle suspension and air lockers. The Viair 97C features stainless steel internals, a well-balanced durable motor, rubber-isolated mounting feet as well as insulated electric terminals.
**To ensure the longevity and proper function of the air compressor, it is recommended to install it in a sheltered area, away from exposure to weather conditions and the elements.**
