California Air Tools 15020C 2 HP 15 Gallon Oil-Free Air Compressor

The California Air Tools 15020C is a 15 gallon air compressor designed for workshops, service areas, and light industrial applications that require consistent airflow with reduced operating noise. The system combines a dual piston oil-free compressor pump with a low-RPM electric motor to provide reliable compressed air for a range of pneumatic tools.

California Air Tools develops compressors that operate at slower motor speeds than many conventional shop compressors. This model uses a SP-series 2 horsepower motor operating at approximately 1680 RPM, which helps reduce vibration, mechanical wear, and overall operating noise while maintaining stable air delivery.

The compressor uses an oil-free dual piston pump assembly designed to deliver compressed air without oil contamination in the air stream. Oil-free operation also reduces routine maintenance requirements since the pump does not require oil lubrication.

An Easy Start Valve assists during motor startup by briefly releasing compressed air from the pump head. This reduces the initial load placed on the motor and can help improve starting reliability in colder conditions.

Compressed air is stored in a 15 gallon steel tank that provides additional reserve capacity compared with smaller portable compressors. The integrated wheel kit allows the unit to be repositioned easily within a shop or jobsite environment.
