Viair 45040 450C Air Compressor Kit
450C is a continuous duty cycle compressor. Rated to 150 PSI maximum working pressure, it is the compressor of choice for many mobile pneumatic applications. Features include a standard 1/4" stainless steel braided leader hose with inline check valve and insulated wiring for simple installation. VIAIR "C" model compressors are intended to fill air tanks. They are not equipped with an ON/OFF switch or pressure sensitive shutoff device of any kind. The use of a pressure switch and relay are recommended and required. All "C" model VIAIR compressors are equipped with a stainless steel braided leader hose and a check valve to keep the compressor from restarting under pressure which can create an amp draw spike and can cause motor damage. Most VIAIR compressors are equipped with a thermal overload protector that will shut down the unit when overheated. When cool, the compressor will automatically restart as normal.
Viair's 45040 450C Air Compressor Kit is built around their 450C model air compressor. A continuous duty cycle compressor rated at 150 PSI, the 450C provides the powerful foundation that users need to build out their air compression systems and utilize the pneumatic tools they want. The 450C features fast fill rates suitable for 2.5 and 5.0 gallon tanks, an oil-less, no maintenance design, with a gearless direct drive permanent magnetic motor, heavy duty PTFE piston ring and precision and high speed durable bearings for increased piston and motor life. Additional parts provided with the kit include: mounting hardware, heavy duty mounting feet with vibration isolators, freeze-resistant wiring, remote mount air filter assembly, air line for remote mounting air filter, heavy duty terminals (spade connector, ring terminal) and more.

Continuous Duty Cycle Compression at 150 PSI
The VIAIR 450C compressor is used at the center of a fully functional onboard air system and is rated to 150 PSI maximum working pressure with 100% duty cycle, meaning that the unit is able to be operated constantly in a 100 PSI, 72° Fahrenheit environment. Features include a standard ¼" NPT stainless steel braided leader hose with inline check valve and insulated wiring for simple installation.

About Compressor Duty Cycle
Compressor duty cycle refers to amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time period, at 100 PSI and at a standard ambient temperature of 72°F. Duty Cycle is commonly expressed in percentile as: compressor on time (compressor on time + off time) %. As an example, a compressor that is rated for 25% duty cycle means that compressor can be operated at: 100 PSI @ 72°F for 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off. 10 min. on / (10 min. on + 30 Min. off) = 10 min. / 40 Min = 25% duty cycle.

You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

seems like an ok compressor
compact, very strong magnets in motor, can be felt outside case with steel bar, compressor seems like it is well made, even being an offshore import. i've had these two pumps in service for a month and they sound good and pumps well, will update in another 6 months if still no problem.
looks like this compressor could be mounted out in the elements as long as the intake port was piped to a clean location, i typically pipe these to the truck cab so it takes in cleaner and already partially dehumidized ( air conditioned) air.

great Compressor.
Great if you need Air get this. I use this in my jeep for my locker, air tools and to reair tires. i also the the Viair 2.5 gallon tank. The combination of the Compressor and the tank is great. Is the way to go. I would recommend anyone to get both.
Never Run Out Of Air
My exhaust brake is operated by air. The pump that came with it was too small and often times would freeze up/over heat on the way down long mountain passes. Changed to this pump and problem solved. It's a lttile noisy but thats a price I'm willing to pay to save my brakes. Other thing it was a challenge to find a place to install it. It's pretty good sized so make sure you have the room.
