The 2-cylinder, 2-stage pump delivers \u003cstrong\u003e20 CFM at 145 PSI and 19 CFM at 175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is enough headroom to run multiple pneumatic tools at the same time in a 3-to-4-bay shop or to leave room to grow if you are working solo today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the AF8P from the base AF8 is the factory-installed \u003cstrong\u003ePlus Package\u003c\/strong\u003e: an automatic low-oil monitor that shuts the unit down before a dry pump destroys itself, an automatic tank drain that purges condensate without a manual valve, and an air-cooled aftercooler that drops discharge-air temperature so less moisture reaches your tools and lines. Those three upgrades extend pump life and produce cleaner, drier air, which is the difference between a compressor that costs you a service call every quarter and one that runs in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElectrical service is \u003cstrong\u003e220V single-phase on a 30 amp breaker with #10 wire\u003c\/strong\u003e, which most small commercial shops already have. The factory pairs a Hubbell industrial-grade pressure switch with an EATON magnetic starter, so the contactor and inrush protection are name-brand parts your local electrician can service. Vibro-isolation pads, a heavy-duty metal belt guard, a finned tank inlet tube that reduces internal moisture, and a hands-free tank drain extension all come standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5550\/0318\/files\/atlas-air-force-af8p-5hp-80-gallon-two-stage-air-compressor-dimensions.jpg?v=1784020146\" alt=\"Atlas Air Force AF8P air compressor with labelled components: aftercooler, air filters, 5.0 HP 1750 RPM motor, lubrication oil level and low-oil shut-off, pressure relief valve, magnetic starter, air valve, water drain valve, 71 inches tall by 40 inches wide\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigcaption\u003eComponent callouts and overall height and width on the Atlas Air Force AF8P.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-cylinder, 2-stage pump\u003c\/strong\u003e rated for commercial duty cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.0 HP, 1750 RPM heavy-duty motor\u003c\/strong\u003e running on 220V single-phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80-gallon vertical steel tank\u003c\/strong\u003e, made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 CFM at 145 PSI \/ 19 CFM at 175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e, 145–175 PSI working range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" NPT air outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e sized for shop drops and main runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlus Package\u003c\/strong\u003e: automatic low-oil monitor, automatic tank drain, air-cooled aftercooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEATON magnetic starter\u003c\/strong\u003e for controlled motor inrush and longer motor life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHubbell industrial-grade pressure switch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompressor oil drain extension tube for easier service intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHands-free tank drain extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinned tank inlet tube to reduce moisture accumulation inside the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty metal belt guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVibro-isolation pads included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for daily commercial use in 3–4 man shops or solo shops planning for growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5550\/0318\/files\/atlas-air-force-af8p-5hp-80-gallon-two-stage-air-compressor-feature-1.jpg?v=1784020146\" alt=\"Atlas Air Force AF8P air-cooled aftercooler mounted above the pump and tank with cooling fins and fan visible inside the metal belt guard\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigcaption\u003eAir-cooled aftercooler cools discharge air before it reaches your lines.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eair-cooled aftercooler\u003c\/strong\u003e shown above is part of the Plus Package.

A 1\/2\" impact wrench typically draws 4–5 CFM at 90 PSI intermittent, a die grinder 5–8 CFM continuous, and a HVLP paint gun 9–13 CFM continuous. With 20 CFM available at 145 PSI tank pressure and an 80-gallon reservoir, the AF8P can run two-to-three intermittent tools simultaneously and recovers quickly. High-continuous-draw tools like media blasters and large sanders may want a higher-CFM compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this single-phase or three-phase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-phase. The AF8P runs on 220V single-phase service, 30 amp breaker, #10 wire. No three-phase service required. The factory-mounted EATON magnetic starter handles motor inrush, so you do not need a separate motor starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is the Plus Package?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plus Package adds three factory-installed items over the base AF8: an automatic low-oil monitor (shuts the unit down before a dry pump damages itself), an automatic tank drain (purges condensate automatically without a manual valve at the bottom of the tank), and an air-cooled aftercooler (reduces discharge-air temperature so less moisture carries to your tools and lines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow loud is the AF8P?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas describes the AF8P as “extremely quiet operation.” The low-RPM motor (1750 RPM), 2-stage pump, vibro-isolation pads, and heavy-duty metal belt guard all reduce operating noise compared to a higher-RPM single-stage compressor of similar capacity. Atlas does not publish a decibel rating for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need a special concrete pad?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AF8P is a vertical tank unit with vibro-isolation pads included. Place it on a level shop floor — no special pad required. Bolt-down anchors are optional depending on local code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the AF8P fit through a standard shop door?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compressor is 40\" long × 24\" wide × 71\" tall and ships at approximately 605 lb.
