ABAC AB5-2160V4 5 HP Two-Stage Air Compressor - 60 Gallon Vertical, 175 PSI, 14.6 CFM, 230V Single-Phase

The ABAC AB5-2160V4 brings two-stage performance to a space-saving 60 gallon vertical package. Its belt-driven PAT 49 pump pairs an aluminum block with cast iron cylinders and ABAC's inner cooling technology, which manages operating temperature to reduce overheating risk and hold duty cycle up under steady tool use. On 230V single-phase power it delivers 14.6 CFM at a maximum 175 PSI, the same output as the 80 gallon AB5 V4 builds, in a footprint of 22 by 27 inches.

How it compares

This is the small-footprint member of the AB5 V4 family. It runs the same PAT 49 pump and the same 14.6 CFM at 175 PSI as the 80 gallon builds, so the only thing the 60 gallon tank costs you is stored air, which shows up as slightly more frequent pump cycling during back-to-back tool use. Where the floor space is there, the AB5-2180V4NS is the bare 80 gallon build, the AB5-2180V4 adds a 184T frame motor with a factory magnetic starter, and the AB5-2180V4FF adds an automatic tank drain and a low oil level switch on top of that. For more air rather than more tank, the AB5-2180VP steps up to the T39 pump and 16.6 CFM.

Typical applications

ABAC lists this two-stage belt drive range for automotive, agriculture and farm, food and beverage, and general industrial work. On the floor that means air and water spraying, impact wrenching, screwing and fastening, grinding and sanding in auto repair and tire shops, wood and metal workshops, and farm buildings. The vertical 60 gallon receiver is the reason most buyers land here: it puts real two-stage 175 PSI air in a corner where an 80 gallon machine would not fit.

Two-stage compressors push warm, wet air into the line, so most shops add a refrigerated dryer rated above the compressor's 14.6 CFM output, such as the ABAC COOL 25.
