Quality Item,
November 9, 2006
By Dale
from Spokane, WA
"Being a small shop that didn't have 3-phase power, we were looking for a compressor that would put out high volume and had a good duty cycle rating. We are operating a lot of air tools, so we were only concerned with 90 psi volumes since most impact wrenches, air drills, sanders, etc, are designed for 90 psi. We didn't need the high pressure of a two-stage compressor, but wanted the high volume and quick recovery time. This compressor fit the bill.
The SS5L5 has a 100% duty cycle rated compressor, which is the only 100% duty cycle rated compressor that we found. Even though the motors that drive the compressors have an 80% duty cycle rating, the compressor cycle rating is much better than the closest compeitor that was only 80% duty cycle. Most of the compressors in this class were only 60% duty cycle rated. The 100% continuous duty cycle rating is only specified when using synthetic lubricant. Using petroleum lubricant drops the duty cycle rating to 60% per hour with a maximum of 10 on/off cycles.
This compressor has a maximum pressure of 135 psi. At 135 psi it produces 15.5 cfm continuously. Since basic hand shop tools are designed around 90 psi, at 90 psi this compressor produces 18.1 cfm continuously, which is what is advertised. If you only need 40 psi, it is rated at 21 cfm continuous.
The stock cycle pressures of the pressure switch will turn the compressor on at 95 psi and shut off at 135 psi. We did not find any kind of adjustment on or in the pressure switch used.
The compressor is shipped without oil, but we purchased the IR start up kit, which contained four quarts of IR synthetic oil and two replacement air filters. Purchasing this kit will extend the two year warranty on the compressor an additional year to total of 3 years. There is an additional 30-day warranty extension if you register your product online. The crankcase held approximately half a quart.
Initial start up calls for running the compressor for a full 30 minutes with the supply and drain valves opened so no tank pressure is created. Then close both valves and allow the pressure switch to activate the shut down.
Servicing guidelines found in the owners manual call for an initial oil change after the first 200 hours of service. Then an ongoing oil change every 2000 hours or 1 year, whichever comes first, along with an air filter replacement.
The condensate drain valve is a manual valve that is recommended to be opened once daily. If you do not keep the compressor at operational pressure consistently, it is recommended to open the drain valve at the end of your use cycle. Since the drain valve is a 1/8? npt valve located at the bottom of the tank and it is difficult to get your hands through the access, and you are on your hands and knees if not laying on the ground, we opted to purchase and install an automatic drain valve that activates for 1 second twice a day. We had to slightly elevate the compressor with 2x4?s at the base to install an elbow and plumb the drain line out from under the compressor.
We also added an IR combo line pressure regulator/water filter to the supply line. We were surprised to see how much water the water filter captures. We typically see more condensate in the supply line filter than we experience in the tank drain valve.
There are no installation instructions, but I would imagine anyone needing this size of a unit should be able to safely wire in 220a and secure the base of the tank using concrete lags or through bolts. We took the extra precaution of securing the upper portion of the tank to the walls with wire rope and turnbuckles. Since this is a vertical compressor, it tends to be top heavy. In an earthquake or similar event, this is an inexpensive and easy preventative measure to ensure safety.
The only problem we had while installing it was that no plumbers tape or pipe dope was used on the main shut off valve from the factory. I?m not sure it this was an oversight or not because both the pressure blow off valve and the tank pressure gauge that were installed on the same T fitting were properly sealed. However, after plumbing into the system, we experienced a leak at the main shut off valve. A small problem to be sure, but it is worth a check to anyone else receiving this unit.
In service this has been an excellent unit. Not overly noisy for a single stage compressor, but not the quietest one we have heard either. Vibration, although existent, is not excessive. Recovery times are fairly quick. It is simply another excellent example of why we continue to come to IR for our air tools needs.
Highly recommended."

Awesome Upgrade,
November 2, 2009
By BarneyJ
from Texas
"I upgraded from a Craftsman 26 gallon compressor to this one. The Craftsman would run continuously on even light work. This one will recharge during continuous orbital sanding and not run all the time. Plus its not as loud as the oil free style compressors."

Air Compressor,
July 20, 2009
By Sparkoo2000
from Watertown,NY
"The Ingersoll Rand Compressor I use is in my opinion is the best there is. Out of all it's competitors it's very reliable, heavy duty, tough and pretty quiet. I'v used many other compressors throughout the years and they just don't last. The Ingersoll Rand has never let me down for the past 11 years. It continues to run everytime it is needed, no matter what the temperture is 100 degrees or minus 10. I would recommend this compressor to anyone and everyone!"

GREAT HOME SHOP COMPRESSOR/ TOUGH AS NAILS,
July 20, 2009
By fododge
from emporia,ks
"I bought this compressor for my home shop and use a lot of body air tools that really suck the life out of compressors.This thing just flat keeps up with what ever you throw at it,i dont have to stop all the time to use my DA sander now.I really dont know how you can beat this deal with it's pricing and free shipping on top of it, the free shipping alone will pay for the new air tool you will now go buy because you dont have to worry if you can power it or not.My last air compressor was a 5 HP Ingersoll Rand that did not have the cfm this does and it lasted me from May 1989 to May 2009 so at that rate this one might out live me."

Air Compressor Rating,
July 20, 2009
By WilkmanRacing
from Southern California
"This is an excellent compressor for shop or heavy hobby use. I have used it to paint a car, do media blasting. and have run a number of air tools using its air. It has performed flawlessly in all these uses. Bear in mind, this is a large piece of equipment that needs to be bolted to the floor. It also requires a 220 volt power source. While I installed the unit myself using a come-along, it would be best to have a helper when moving it into place and installing it. If you have significant compressed air needs, you cannot go wrong with this compressor."
