2 HP 135PSI Single Stage Vertical Portable Reciprocating Air Compressor By Quincy - Q12124VPQ

Quincy Q12124VPQ: 2 HP, 24 gallon vertical portable, 135 PSI, 115 volt

This is Quincy's single stage portable for the home garage, the trim carpenter and the small shop that wants a cast iron pump instead of a throwaway oil free unit. It plugs into a standard 115 volt 15 amp outlet, holds 135 PSI in a 24 gallon vertical tank and delivers roughly 7 CFM, which runs framing, finish and brad nailers, staplers, blow guns, tire inflation and a 1/2 inch impact wrench in short bursts. It will not keep up with a DA sander, die grinder or HVLP gun for more than a minute at a time; for those you want a 60 or 80 gallon two stage such as the Quincy QT Pro.

Why pick it over a big box compressor at the same price point: the pump is cast iron with an aluminum head, a real crankshaft and reed valves, it is splash lubricated with 40 weight oil, and it is factory tested at full pressure. It will be quieter than an oil free unit and it can be rebuilt. The vertical tank keeps the footprint under two feet square, and the wheels and handle let one person move it.

Installation notes. Use a dedicated 15 amp circuit and plug straight into the wall; if you need reach, run a longer air hose rather than an extension cord, because voltage drop on a cord is what burns up single phase compressor motors. Drain the tank after each use or add a small automatic drain. Check the oil before the first start. The pressure regulator and gauge are built in; add a filter regulator and a 3/8 inch hose for paint or sensitive tools.

Manufacturer description

The Perfect Tool For DIY

Quincy Compressor's Single Stage series is the perfect compressor for commercial applications and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects around the home or garage. They are extra quiet compared to other competitive models. Single Stage piston compressors are 100% factory tested at full pressure and shipped with 40-weight lubricant.

Key Features and Benefits

-Single Stage series compressors feature a cast iron cylinder, crankshaft, and valve plate for strength and durability. The aluminum head and design of the fins help dissipate heat to keep the compressor running as cool as possible for longer. One-year standard warranty, with a NO BULL extended warranty option, doubles the package and triples the pump coverage. The 2 HP 115-volt portable units come with a 6 ft power cord, inch pressure regulator, and gauge.

What Makes It A Quincy?

Compressor Head, Gaskets, and Valves

• Aluminum head for cooler operating temperatures and longer life.
• Graphite cylinder and head gaskets for positive sealing and improved performance.
• Stainless-steel, corrosion resistant reed valves with controlled lift for maximum efficiency.

Interstage Intercooler

• Finned-copper-tubed intercooler dissipates excess heat from the first stage of compression to the second-stage, helping to eliminate carbon build up in the head and increase valve life.

Flywheel

• Large, balanced cast-iron flywheel for smoother operation, angled for maximum cooling across the compressor for longer life.

Rings

• High performance, automotive-style rings allow less than 6 PPM oil carryover.

Crankshaft

• Balanced counter-weighted crankshaft for smooth, trouble-free operation.

Construction

• Cast-iron cylinder, flywheel, and crankcase for dependability.
• The extra-capacity oil reservoir assures low oil temperatures for lasting performance.
