Background

The Hitachi EC89 4-Gallon Portable Electric Twin Stack Air Compressor is a portable air compressor produced by Hitachi. Introduced in August 2009, this air compressor is equipped with a 4-gallon tank and a 1 horsepower oil-lubricated cast iron pump that is driven by a 13-amp direct-drive induction motor. The motor operates at a speed of 3,450 RPM, which enables it to provide a maximum pressure of 135 PSI. The unit, which weighs 57.7 pounds, is designed with a handle for easy transport.

The EC89 is equipped with a quick coupler, which is used for attaching air hoses and tools. Other features include manual reset thermal overload protection to prevent motor overheating, a pressure switch that turns the motor on at 105 PSI and off at 135 PSI to reduce cycling, and a ball valve drain cock for easy draining of the tank. The air compressor also comes with 8 ounces of SAE5W50 synthetic oil and an oil dipstick. This air compressor is suitable for various tasks such as drilling, cutting, inflating tires, and powering air tools.
