The AC01 airbrush compressor is described as “on demand” as it will automatically start, when the airbrush trigger is pushed to release air, and stop when the trigger is released. Maximum air pressure: 57PSI.

It has a powerful 1/6^th horsepower electric motor which easily beats the performance of the most commonly available AS186 airbrush compressor with it's inbuilt electric cooling fan.

The airbrush compressor produces 20 - 23 litres of air per minute via a single oil-free piston which ensures that your paint is not contaminated with oils and greases found in other style compressors.

The airbrush compressor is fitted with an air pressure regulator / water trap which is fully adjustable and has a display dial showing the pressure of the air being delivered to the airbrush.

Water vapour and heat are by products of placing air through a mechanical process such as compression. The pressure regulator also acts as a water trap to prevent your paint becoming contaminated.

The air pressure regulator has a 1/8BSP male air outlet.

1/8BSP is approximately 9.35mm in diameter. BSP denotes the type and pitch of thread and stands for British Standard Pipe.

1/8BSP is the most common size and type of thread used with airbrushes and associated products, including; air hoses, quick disconnect couplers and air hose manifolds.

Knowing how to set the air pressure regulator correctly can be a little confusing if you have never done it before.
