About this product
The VIAIR Dual 480C Pewter Constant Duty Air Compressors (model 48012) are designed for demanding applications such as train horns, offering a robust 200 PSI maximum pressure. This dual compressor system operates on 12 volts and is engineered for constant duty use. Included with the compressors is the necessary mounting hardware, and they feature a sealed design for durability. The pewter surface finish provides a distinctive aesthetic.
Our take
If you're serious about your air system, particularly for something like train horns, the VIAIR Dual 480C setup is a powerhouse. With two 480C compressors, you're getting serious air volume and a constant duty cycle, which is crucial for applications that require sustained performance. The 200 PSI max pressure is more than enough for specialty air needs, and the pewter finish looks sharp. While the 'Performance/Custom' fitment implies professional installation, the sealed components suggest good durability. It's a significant investment at over $500, but for dedicated custom air systems, it delivers the necessary grunt and reliability.
