400C Chrome air compressor — product overview
The VIAIR 400C is a 12V, permanently mounted compressor for fast reservoir recovery in compatible 150 PSI air systems. This chrome version is identified in the OBA catalogue by manufacturer reference 40013. Select it according to the pressure and airflow your installation requires, as well as the electrical supply and available mounting space.
With a maximum rated working pressure of 150 PSI, the 400C is designed to supply compatible stored-air systems. Its 33% at 100 PSI; 100% at 40 PSI duty rating describes the operating interval at each stated pressure, rather than promising unlimited continuous use at maximum pressure. Actual tank recovery time will depend on the reservoir, starting pressure, system restrictions and installation.

Choosing and installing your compressor
Allow for suitable wiring, circuit protection, a compatible pressure switch, correct fittings, thermal clearance and manufacturer-specified mounting. Compressor airflow stated at 0 PSI is a free-flow figure, not guaranteed output at the system’s operating pressure. Consult VIAIR’s installation documentation before commissioning, and use the original performance tables below for additional reference.
400C is a 33% duty cycle compressor that works quickly and efficiently putting out 2.62 CFM flow at zero PSI head pressure. Features include a standard 1/4″ NPT stainless steel braided leader hose with inline check valve and insulated wiring for simple installation.
Note: Use thread sealant for proper installation. Thread tape is not recommended. Properly sealed, recommended torque is 12 to 15 ft. lbs.
