450C is a continuous duty cycle compressor. Rated to 150 PSI maximum working pressure it is the compressor of choice for many mobile pneumatic applications. Features include a standard 1/4 stainless steel braided leader hose with inline check valve and insulated wiring for simple installation. VIAIR C model compressors are intended to fill air tanks. They are not equipped with an ON/OFF switch or pressure sensitive shutoff device of any kind. The use of a pressure switch and relay are recommended and required. All C model VIAIR compressors are equipped with a stainless steel braided leader hose and a check valve to keep the compressor from restarting under pressure which can create an amp draw spike and can cause motor damage.
