Compressors use a pressure switch to stop the motor when tank pressure reaches a preset limit–about 125 psi for many single-stage models. Most of the time, though, you don't need that much pressure.
This means that the 495C will pressurize a 5-gallon air tank from zero to 175 psi in 5-1/2 minutes, and will easily refill that 5-gallon tank using a 110psi-on and 175 psi off pressure switch in 1 ...
Adding to the safety factor is the 6061-T6 aluminum cylinder, which is rated for 1,800 to 3,000 psi, with a built-in pop-off valve that automatically relieves the tank pressure at 3,000 psi.
