California Air Tools CAT-1P1060SP Air Compressor 0.6 Hp

Product Description

The CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS CAT-1P1060SP is a 1-gallon, oil-free air compressor designed for low-noise operation in environments where sound level matters. Rated at 56 dB, it operates below the sound level of a normal conversation, making it a practical choice for finish work, hobby applications, and inflation tasks in occupied spaces. The unit runs on a 0.6 HP motor drawing only 4.5 amps at 110V/60 Hz and delivers 1.6 CFM at 40 psi and 1.2 CFM at 90 psi, with a maximum tank pressure of 120 psi. The oil-free pump is rated for 3,000 hours of runtime before scheduled maintenance, which is a significantly longer service interval than standard oil-free pumps.

This compressor is suited for residential and light commercial settings where a compact, portable unit is needed. Typical applications include pneumatic finish nailers, brad nailers, airbrush work, tire and equipment inflation, and other low-demand tasks. The fast tank fill time of 50 seconds and a regeneration time of 15 seconds keeps downtime short during intermittent use. The included panel, two pressure gauges, and one universal 1/4-inch quick connector make it ready for immediate use out of the box.

Installation Notes

This unit is user-installable and does not require a licensed trade contractor for standard portable operation. Place the compressor on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation. Confirm the supply circuit matches the 110V/60 Hz, 4.5-amp draw before plugging in, and avoid use with extension cords that are undersized for the amperage. Always depressurize the tank completely before servicing or changing accessories.
