Air help: home compressor 150psi
Posted on 8/2/25 at 1:49 pm

I need a home compressor for light use, but I need it to reliably produce 150psi.
I do have access to a 50amp circuit.
Recommendations please?

150 PSI tank pressure or do you need it to deliver 150 PSI to a tool? What is light use? Looking for a portable or stationary unit? Budget?

I need it for airing up RV tires.
Front PSI is 130, all eight rears require 120.
Plus, running about 75' of 1/2" hose.
It'll be stationary.
Whatever it takes; im tired of hunting working air stations at truck stops.
And I hate running lower than recommended pressure, especially in the heat.

Most upright 20gal compressors are 150-175 psi. Put a large hose to be able to deliver all that psi to the nozzle and you should be good

150psi isn’t the problem. Delivering CFMs… even at 120psi is the problem. Much less delivering CFMs at 150psi.

For the money and how you'll be using it:
Home Depot 60-gallon Husky 175 psi
You don't need a Quincy or even an IR, with minimal maintenance this compressor will probably outlast you. Just follow the break-in procedure and change out the factory oil for a good full synthetic compressor oil (I run Amsoil ISO 100 in my Makita).

You do not need any cfm rating to air up tires. Yes it’ll slow down a little if you have a ton of restriction but any 150-175 rated compressor will work.
FWIW I use my fortress to run a ton of air powered tools and it’s been a great compressor.

True but he's going to want capacity for airing big tires to 100+ psi, a 20 gallon unit is going to cycle a bit airing up a few of those tires. 60-gallons at 175 psi is going to deliver a lot of air before it has to cycle the pump on.
OP, if you happen to own Milwaukee M18 tools, look at the M18 tire inflator to keep in the RV. 150psi and has no trouble with truck tires. Good backup and much better than hunting down a fuel station's pump.

Get a big pancake from H-F, IMHO. Best short-term/mid-term option. Obviously, if you're going to do bigger jobs, too, get a real oiled compressor with a big tank.
But, for RV tires, a big pancake is fine.
$160 bucks will do it.
