VIAIR Reveals The Next Generation NEW Gen. 2 Compressors!

April 20, 2018 by VIAIR

Introducing the New Gen 2

VIAIR’s NEW 485C Gen. 2 compressors have now been released to our dealers! In case you haven’t heard, this 485C compressor features a newly developed sleek head design, and duty cycle of 100% @200PSI. And, due to thicker vibration isolators on its feet, the compressor is also quieter than ever before. These 485C compressors have the same mounting footprint as our 480C, making it easy for a 480C to be upgraded to the new 485C.

Available in Platinum or Stealth Black, the 485C comes equipped with a stainless steel braided leader hose with an inline check valve, and NEW VIAIR removable filter cover. The Gen. 2 485C compressors are available as a single compressor or dual performance value pack for both colors.
