Description
Overview
The EMAX EI05V080I1 is a 5 HP, 80-gallon two-stage reciprocating air compressor built around an inline two-stage cast iron pump. It runs on 230V single-phase power and delivers 19 CFM at 100 PSI for steady tool and shop air.
The pressure-lubricated pump and 80-gallon vertical tank give a small shop dependable air without three-phase service. Cast iron construction handles heat under repeated cycling, and the unit tops out at 175 PSI for tools that need higher pressure.
Key Features
- 19 CFM at 100 PSI - 5 HP inline two-stage pump output for steady air delivery.
- Two-stage pressure to 175 PSI - on an 80-gallon vertical tank that holds reserve for demand spikes.
- Pressure-lubricated pump - a gear-driven oil pump feeds each bearing for continuous-duty cooling and long pump life.
- Cast iron pump - crankcase, cylinders, and heads in cast iron for heat tolerance under load.
- 230V single-phase power - ODP motor on a 40 amp recommended breaker.
- Isolator pads - reduce transmitted vibration on the shop floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much air does the EI05V080I1 deliver?
It is rated at 19 CFM at 100 PSI from a 5 HP pump, with a maximum pressure of 175 PSI. Size your tools to stay within that delivery at working pressure.
What power does it require?
It runs on 230V single-phase power with a recommended 40 amp breaker. Confirm your service before installation.
Is the pump pressure or splash lubricated?
This pump is pressure lubricated. A gear-driven oil pump delivers oil to the bearings and connecting rods, which suits higher duty cycles.
What maintenance does it need?
Routine care is oil changes, belt checks, and tank draining. EMAX rates the pump for an estimated 70,000 hours of service life with proper maintenance, and service kits are available.
Will it run on single-phase shop power?
Yes. It is a 230V single-phase unit, so it does not require three-phase service. A 40 amp breaker is recommended.
