The ABAC AB3-2160V1 pairs a 3.5 HP motor with ABAC's belt-driven PAT 38 single-stage aluminum pump on a 60 gallon vertical ASME tank, delivering 12.35 CFM at a maximum 135 PSI on 230V single-phase power. The vertical layout keeps the footprint tight at 22 inches by 26 inches, making it a smart step up for wood and metal shops, auto repair bays, and serious home garages that have outgrown portable units.

Typical applications
At 12.35 CFM this compressor is sized for the air tools most professional shops run every day. ABAC rates single-stage units like the AB3-2160V1 for:
- Spray painting: most paint sprayers draw 4 to 11 CFM, so the AB3-2160V1 has headroom for a steady spray arc once the nozzle and pressure are dialed in
- Sanding: a dual-action air sander uses roughly 11 to 13 CFM, putting it at the top of this unit's range for intermittent work
- Stapling and fastening: driving staples and nails into wood, plastic, or steel
- Grouting, inflating, blow-down, and general cleaning
The 60 gallon vertical tank is what makes that work practical. Stored air covers the demand spikes an air tool creates, so the motor cycles less often and the pump runs cooler than it would on a smaller portable tank.
Single-stage or two-stage?
A single-stage pump compresses air in one piston stroke and tops out around 135 PSI, which suits shops running standard 90 PSI air tools. If your work calls for 175 PSI, continuous-duty cycles, or cast iron construction, step up to a two-stage ABAC unit instead. Browse the full range of ABAC piston air compressors to compare.
Built by ABAC, part of the Atlas Copco group and an air compressor manufacturer for more than 40 years, the AB3-2160V1 60 gallon vertical air compressor delivers dependable single-stage performance for shops that need more air and more storage without moving to a two-stage unit. Backed by a 1 year warranty and assembled in the USA.
