Hitachi Power Tools recently announced its first ASME certified reserve air tank – model UA3810AB, including a complete set of fittings and accessories needed for use straight out of the box. This 10-gallon reserve air tank weighs 40 pounds fully outfitted and eliminates the concern of air pressure being insufficient to power multiple nailers over an extended distance from the compressor. With Hitachi’s reserve air tank added between the compressor and nailer, the PSI will remain constant even if five or more nailers are operating at the same time on a job site.
Hitachi’s ASME certified reserve air tank comes ready to use with five quick connect couplers (4 unregulated and 1 regulated) for easy one-handed connections of hoses and/or splitters. It is certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to confirm compliance with United States laws and regulations.
Durability is essential, and this horizontal barrel Reserve Tank features a roll cage design that protects the regulators and gauges from job site abuse. The steel tubular handle offers easy job site transport, while its angled steel legs provide additional support and stability despite potential uneven turf and often harsh conditions. Industrial pressure gauges are encased in steel for higher durability. An industrial ball (shut-off) valve on input allows the user to fill the tank and disconnect it from the compressor without draining itself, for added convenience.
