ABAC AB7-2180VFF 7.5 HP Two-Stage Air Compressor - 80 Gallon Vertical Premium, 175 PSI, 22.2 CFM T39 Pump

The ABAC AB7-2180VFF is the Full Feature build of the 80 gallon vertical AB7 platform. The T39 two-stage hybrid pump pairs an aluminum head and aftercooler with cast iron cylinders, so heat and moisture come out of the air before it reaches the tank, and the FF specification adds a pressure-actuated automatic tank drain and a low oil level switch. It delivers 22.2 CFM at a maximum 175 PSI, and the same build is offered on 230V single-phase, 230V three-phase or 460V three-phase power.

How it compares

Every 80 gallon AB7 delivers the same 22.2 CFM at 175 PSI, so the choice comes down to footprint and what is fitted. The AB7-2180V is the standard vertical build without the automatic drain and the oil level switch. The AB7-2180HFF is this same Full Feature specification on a horizontal tank for shops with low ceilings, and the AB7-2180HS is the standard horizontal. Where 22.2 CFM is more than the shop draws, the 5 HP AB5-2180VPFF runs 16.6 CFM on the same 80 gallon vertical tank.

Typical applications

Body shops, fabrication and welding bays, woodworking shops, tire and service work, and farm buildings: impact wrenching, grinding, orbital sanding, fastening, and air or water spraying where tools run through most of the shift. The vertical tank keeps the full 80 gallon reserve on a 25 by 34 inch footprint, and the automatic drain and the oil level switch cover the two daily checks most often skipped in a shop with nobody assigned to the compressor.

A two-stage pump pushes warm, wet air into the line, so plan a refrigerated dryer rated above the 22.2 CFM output, such as the ABAC COOL 35. Browse the rest of our piston air compressors and our compressed air dryers.
