Product Description
The California Air Tools 20040DCADC is a powerful 4.0 HP ultra-quiet, ultra-dry, and oil-free air compressor designed for applications that require clean, dry compressed air. It combines a 20-gallon steel tank with an integrated 98% air drying system and factory-installed EZ-1 automatic drain valve.
Powered by twin 2.0 HP motors operating at only 1,680 RPM, the 20040DCADC delivers 12.80 CFM at 40 PSI and 10.60 CFM at 90 PSI while producing only 75 dB of operating noise. Its oil-free dual-piston pump is engineered for high performance and durability with a life cycle of 3,000+ hours before wear.
The integrated air drying system uses an aftercooler and a replaceable spin-on cartridge containing regenerating high-temperature molecular sieve desiccant. The system is designed to remove up to 98% of water vapor and provides ISO 8573 Class 2.3.1 air quality, making this compressor suitable for applications where moisture control and clean air are important.

Maintenance
The oil-free dual-piston pump eliminates the need for compressor oil. The 98% air dryer cartridge should be replaced every 4,000 operating hours, approximately every two years under average use.
The two 2 HP air filters attached to the motor-pump should be replaced every two years under normal conditions or annually when the compressor is exposed to dirty or dusty environments. Replacement air filter part number is 90260.
The EZ-1 automatic drain valve eliminates the need for routine manual tank draining. Its manually adjustable timer controls both the frequency and duration of the draining process.
