RCP-1630G

Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1630G Air Compressor – 16 HP Gasoline (Iron Series Two-Stage)

The Chicago Pneumatic RCP-C1630G Air Compressor is a heavy-duty gasoline-powered industrial reciprocating compressor designed for mobile job sites, truck-mounted systems, construction work, and remote industrial applications where electrical power is not available. Built on Chicago Pneumatic’s Iron Series cast iron platform, it combines durability, portability, and high airflow performance for professional users.

This unit is powered by a 16 HP Briggs & Stratton Vanguard gasoline engine and paired with a two-stage cast iron compressor pump, mounted on a 30-gallon ASME-certified horizontal tank. It delivers approximately 35 CFM at 100 PSI (about 32–35 CFM at 175 PSI depending on load conditions), making it suitable for demanding pneumatic tools in field environments.
