Re: VIAIR 250C-IG Compressor

It is a fantastic piece of hardware. Never even got too hot to touch. It's hefty, but if you need the air, it's worth it. We were asked by probably 10 teams about it and many seem very interested. If you can afford the weight costs, by all means get it. We won't be using the others ever again unless we are too close on weight or don't have many pneumatics. We were a little worried about current draw, but it's no worse than the 90c. Be aware that Q&A said that it is required to use the stainless steel braid leader line and you need to design for that since it is heavy and cumbersome.
