They run out of room, and then buy the compressor that fits rather than the one that suits the work. The VRV10-12 is aimed squarely at that: \u003cstrong\u003e34 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e from a \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor, with a \u003cstrong\u003e120-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e receiver stood on end so the whole machine occupies a base of \u003cstrong\u003e42.68\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou give up nothing else to get it. Same RV30 pump, same \u003cstrong\u003e1,800 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e motor, same \u003cstrong\u003e895 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, same working pressure and the same packaged simplex build as the horizontal model. The only thing that changes is which dimension of your building the compressor spends.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat an ASME coded receiver is actually telling you\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe feature list for this model says the receiver is ASME coded, and adds an exclusion in brackets that is worth reading rather than skipping: base-mount versions of the package are not covered by that statement. Coding a pressure vessel is a design, materials and inspection discipline applied to the tank itself, and on a shop compressor it is the difference between a vessel built to a recognised standard and one built to a drawing. It is also the thing an inspector or an insurer is most likely to ask about first.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe same list states that the receiver is compliant with California code. Whether that is a requirement or an irrelevance depends entirely on where you are installing, but it is a genuine claim about the tank rather than a marketing line, and it travels with the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eLoadless starting, and why it is really an electrical feature\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvery time a compressor cuts in, its motor has to break away. If the head is still pressurised, it has to do so against that pressure, and it draws its worst inrush current doing it. Loadless starting vents the head so the motor accelerates unloaded and only then takes up work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor in a shop sharing a panel with lifts, lighting and welding equipment, that is not a refinement. It is the difference between a compressor that cycles unnoticed and one that dips the lights and eventually earns itself a bigger breaker and an electrician's invoice. The tank-mounted simplex start\/stop pressure switch is the other half of the arrangement — a deliberately simple control with nothing to programme and one thing to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCeiling, before anything else.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our data holds an overall height for this unit as a bare number with no unit recorded next to it, so no clearance figure appears on this page.

The manufacturer's specification list instead carries two values, taken at 125 PSIG and at 175 PSIG, each recorded without a unit beside it, and both a shade under the catalogue number. The factory document is the more cautious of our two sources — but a number whose unit our own data never states is not a number we will republish as air delivery.

No third-party safety listing is claimed for the packaged machine anywhere in the data we hold, and we will not invent one to fill a heading. Where an insurer, a fleet policy or a local inspector requires a specific listing, ask us to confirm in writing what accompanies this unit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreight to the lower 48 states, free of charge. \u003cstrong\u003e895 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e crated needs a forklift, a dock, or a pallet jack and a level approach; if none of those exist at your end, collect from the carrier's terminal instead. A residential fee applies to residential deliveries. Check the shipment before you sign for it — along the receiver for dents, around the pump, motor and starter enclosure for impact — and note anything at all on the delivery paperwork there and then. Damage recorded at delivery is a claim; damage found the next morning usually is not.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe record we hold links to the store's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/warranty-claims\"\u003ewarranty claims page\u003c\/a\u003e without naming a term, so this page names none — ask us for the current manufacturer terms in writing before you order.
