Air Compressor AWTools AC100V 100 L 3.0 HP — vertical tank, oil-lubricated, single-phase

AWTools AC100V 100L 3.0HP is an oil-lubricated air compressor with a vertical 100-litre tank and a single‑phase 3.0 HP motor. Designed for workshop and garage environments, this compressor supplies compressed air for pneumatic tools, tyre inflation and painting applications. It includes pressure regulation, a safety valve and a robust steel tank intended for repeated use in small to medium professional and DIY tasks.

Advantages

The oil-lubricated pump ensures consistent cooling and extended service life for moving parts compared with non‑lubricated designs. The vertical 100 L tank provides a compact footprint while offering sufficient air storage for intermittent tool operation. Integrated pressure regulation and safety valve support controlled and safe operation. Single‑phase power compatibility simplifies installation in standard workshop or garage electrical systems.

Suitable for

• Operating pneumatic hand tools such as impact wrenches, nail guns and spray guns
• Tire and inflatable equipment servicing
• Automotive bodywork and painting with spray guns for small to mid-sized jobs
• Workshop tasks requiring steady compressed air supply for intermittent use

Key specifications

• Tank capacity: 100 litres (vertical configuration)
• Motor power: 3.0 HP single‑phase
• Lubrication type: oil‑lubricated pump
• Pressure control: adjustable pressure regulator and integrated safety valve
• Design: vertical steel tank for reduced floor footprint

How to use

Position the compressor on a level surface with adequate ventilation and connect to a compatible single‑phase power supply. Before first use, check oil level according to the manufacturer's instructions and visually inspect for shipping damage. Start the unit and allow it to reach cut‑out pressure; use the integrated regulator to set the required working pressure for the connected tool or application. Connect pneumatic tools using appropriate hoses and fittings rated for the working pressure, and monitor the pressure gauge and safety valve during operation. After use, switch off the compressor, drain condensate from the tank through the drain valve and store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, follow regular maintenance: check and change compressor oil at intervals specified by the manufacturer, drain condensation after each use to prevent corrosion, inspect hoses and fittings for wear, and verify the safety valve and regulator function periodically. Use appropriate air filters and moisture traps when performing painting or precision spraying to ensure air quality.
