Full Product Description
The FS Curtis CC1.5 Climate Control Air Compressor provides a reliable compressed air source for pneumatic HVAC controls, building automation systems, instrumentation, and other low-pressure control-air applications.
Unlike a conventional shop compressor designed primarily for air tools and production equipment, the FS Curtis CC Series is engineered specifically for climate control and pneumatic control systems.
The CC1.5 uses the FS Curtis ES10 single-stage compressor pump, featuring splash lubrication, disc and spring valves, and heavy-duty cast-iron construction. The compressor delivers 3.5 CFM at 80 PSI and is rated for a maximum 65% loaded duty cycle.
The complete compressor package is mounted on a 30-gallon horizontal ASME air receiver and includes automatic start/stop controls, a magnetic motor starter, manual condensate drain, tank shut-off valve, pressure gauge, safety relief valve, and metal intake filter-silencer.
With its compact footprint and purpose-built control-air design, the FS Curtis CC1.5 is an excellent solution for commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, municipal facilities, manufacturing plants, and other facilities that continue to operate pneumatic building-control systems.

Benefits
Purpose-Built for Climate Control Applications
The CC1.5 is specifically designed to provide compressed air for pneumatic HVAC controls and building automation systems rather than general-purpose shop air.
This makes the compressor well suited for systems using pneumatic thermostats, dampers, actuators, control valves, and other air-operated building controls.
Heavy-Duty Cast-Iron ES10 Pump
The FS Curtis ES10 pump uses heavy-duty construction for dependable service and long operating life.
Pump construction includes:
- 100% cast-iron cylinders
- Cast-iron cylinder heads
- Cast-iron connecting rods
- Cast-iron crankshaft
- Disc and spring valves
- Splash lubrication
Automatic Start/Stop Control
The compressor automatically operates between predetermined pressure settings using a pressure switch.
When system pressure falls to the compressor's cut-in pressure, the compressor starts. Once the upper pressure setting is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off.
This allows the CC1.5 to maintain control-air pressure without continuously running the compressor.
30-Gallon Horizontal Receiver
The integrated 30-gallon ASME air receiver provides stored compressed air capacity to help reduce rapid compressor cycling and accommodate changing pneumatic control-air demand.
The horizontal tank-mounted configuration also creates a compact package for installation in mechanical rooms and equipment areas.
Complete Factory-Assembled Package
The CC1.5 is supplied as a complete compressor package with the major components needed for installation, including the compressor, receiver, motor, controls, pressure gauge, safety relief valve, drain, and shut-off valve.

Actual maintenance intervals may vary depending on operating hours and environmental conditions.
How It Works
The FS Curtis CC1.5 uses an automatic start/stop control system.
- The compressor monitors receiver pressure through the pressure switch.
- When pressure falls to the lower pressure setting, the compressor automatically starts.
- The ES10 pump supplies compressed air to the 30-gallon receiver.
- When the upper pressure setting is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off.
- Stored compressed air in the receiver supplies the pneumatic control system until additional compressor operation is required.
This operating method helps reduce unnecessary run time while maintaining a dependable supply of control air.
Important Sizing Information
The CC1.5 delivers 3.5 CFM at 80 PSI and has a maximum 65% loaded duty cycle.
When replacing an existing climate control compressor, do not size the replacement based only on horsepower.
The required compressor should be selected based on:
- Existing compressor CFM
- System operating pressure
- Air demand
- Compressor run time
- Receiver size
- Voltage and phase
- Number of pneumatic devices being supplied
