At Last!! An Honest-To-Goodness 12 Volt System for Diving!
Announcing Model 12V160-3. Another in the long line of Air Line firsts. Thomas Industries once again comes through for The Air Line with a tough compact, single-head compressor that goes beyond -- actually, way below -- diving just under the hull. Terrific option for sail boaters, power boaters who don't want to carry gas and metal detectives who want to keep a low, quiet profile. What better way to do those really fun projects like scraping barnacles, changing zincs, chopping line off the prop. No tank to bop the gel coat, no yo-yoing up and down till your lungs give out. Performance: 3.25 CFM @ 0PSI, 2.18 @ 50. One to depth of 50 feet. Motor: .1/3 HP DC. Rated Load: 26 AMPS.
Recommended Battery: Group 31 Marine. (Expect two hours of operation.) Group 27. (Expect one hour, 20 minutes.) One D-Cell. (Expect ridicule.) Running the boat engine will keep the battery charged Weight: 23 lbs. Size: 12" by 8" by6" high on white, rubber feet. (Allow 19" L for hose bend cables and overpressure, Quiet Valve). Mounting Notes: The compressor can be custom mounted in any position. What about those underwater metal detector guys. In public places they need to accomplish two things to get the prize: They need relative silence, and zero fume emissions. Enter the stealthy Air Line 12 Volt system. (This approach is so effective that The Air Line should get half of the finds. But we will cede all pull-tabs)
