Product Description
The California Air Tools 8010SPCAD is a 1.0 HP ultra-quiet, oil-free air compressor designed for indoor environments where minimizing operating noise is important. The compressor operates at just 40 dB and features an 8-gallon coated steel air tank housed inside a soundproof cabinet.
The CAT-MP100LF motor operates at 1,400 RPM to reduce noise, vibration, and wear. Its oil-free dual-piston pump is engineered for longevity and is tested for a minimum pump life of 4,000 hours before service.
The integrated EZ-1 Automatic Drain Valve eliminates the need to manually drain the tank. A manually set timer controls both the frequency and duration of the automatic draining process. The soundproof cabinet features acoustic foam insulation, two exhaust fans, two latching doors, and four caster wheels.

Applications
The 8010SPCAD is designed for indoor environments where compressor noise is a significant concern, including:
- Offices
- Shops
- Stores
- Warehouses
- Home workshops
- Indoor workspaces
- General pneumatic applications
- Applications requiring low-noise compressed air
The manufacturer specifically identifies office, shop, store, warehouse, and home environments as suitable applications.
Maintenance
The compressor uses an oil-free pump, eliminating the need for routine pump oil changes.
The manufacturer specifies replacing the 1 HP air filter every two years, or every year when the compressor is exposed to dirty or dusty environments. The specified replacement filter part number is 90227.
The EZ-1 automatic drain valve should be configured according to the required drainage frequency and duration. Its timer is manually adjustable, allowing the user to control the automatic tank-draining cycle.
