The FS-Curtis CT10 reciprocating air compressor delivers 10 HP of industrial-grade performance with a 120-gallon horizontal tank and proven two-stage CT75 pump. Producing 29.7 CFM at 175 PSI, this simplex compressor combines FS-Curtis's signature durability with a simple, robust industrial design—making it one of the most reliable and affordable compressors in its category. Engineered for light automotive, light industrial, and professional workshop applications, the CT10 features 100% cast-iron construction in critical components where other compressors compromise with aluminum. Built for long-term performance in demanding environments, this compressor is a field-proven workhorse that delivers consistent air supply day after day.
Available Voltage Configurations
Three Phase Models:
- 3/60/200-208V – Model FCT10C75H1S-A9L1XX
- 3/60/230V – Model FCT10C75H1S-A3L1XX
- 3/60/460V – Model FCT10C75H1S-A4L1XX
Each model includes a magnetic starter and Premium Efficiency Motor, ensuring reliable starting performance and energy-efficient operation across all voltage configurations.
100% Cast-Iron Construction Where It Counts
The FS-Curtis CT Series stands apart from competitors claiming "cast-iron construction" but using aluminum for critical components. The CT10 features 100% cast-iron cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and high-pressure pistons—the components that take the most stress and wear over time.
- Two-stage cast-iron pump is significantly more durable than pumps with aluminum components, delivering exceptional longevity in demanding environments
- Deep-finned cast-iron cylinders and heads provide superior heat dissipation for cool, consistent operation under continuous use
- Industry-leading cast-iron high-pressure pistons offer extreme durability and resistance to wear, far outlasting aluminum alternatives
- Ductile iron crankshaft is stronger, more corrosion-resistant, and less prone to failure than standard cast iron—engineered for years of reliable service
This field-proven design ensures the CT10 will last longer in the same conditions than other entry-level compressors, giving you true industrial durability at a value-conscious price point.
Quality Components Built for Superior Compressor Life
Every component in the CT10 is engineered for maximum longevity and peak performance:
- High-flow, heavy-duty stainless steel channel valve system delivers more CFM per horsepower while resisting corrosion and wear
- Precision-fit, industrial-grade main roller bearings support all rotating parts for longer pump life and reduced maintenance
- Robust intercooler increases compressor efficiency by cooling compressed air between stages, improving overall performance
- Oil level sight glass conveniently located for easy monitoring and maintenance scheduling
- Metal intake filter/silencer is superior to plastic alternatives, providing durable filtration and quieter operation
- Splash lubricated design ensures consistent lubrication of all moving parts throughout operation
The compressor arrives factory filled with lubricant and ready to install, while the slow V-belt drive reduces wear and extends pump life significantly compared to high-speed direct-drive designs.
Value-Minded Industrial Design: Robust Performance at a Lower Cost
The CT10 follows the same world-class quality design standards as other premium FS-Curtis products, but with a streamlined industrial approach that delivers exceptional value:
- Two-stage compression provides higher pressures and significantly longer pump life than single-stage designs
- Slow-turning pump design (via V-belt drive) reduces heat, wear, and stress on components—dramatically increasing service life
- Robust construction sets the CT Series apart from comparable entry-level models that sacrifice durability for initial cost savings
- Engineered for rugged, reliable performance in light automotive, workshop, and light industrial environments
This is not a consumer-grade compressor—it's a commercial-duty workhorse designed to deliver years of dependable compressed air for your operation.
