The Highlights of the Differences Between the Models

Models ending in “A“, MPC-60A, MPC-120A, and MPC-200A only include an air filter. See pictures as they are labeled with each model.

Models ending in “C“, MPC-60C, MPC-120C, and MPC-200C include oil-filled pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, heat-resistant tube and aluminum manifold with swivel union.

Model MPC-60C is a 1/4 HP, single head and includes a 2-way valve aluminum manifold, Model MPC-120C is a 1/2 HP, double headand includes a 3-way valve aluminum manifold, Model MPC-200C is a 3/4 HP, double head andincludes a 4-way aluminum manifold

More detailed information on each model is below:

MPC-60A 1/4 HP Rocking Piston Compressor

MPC-60C

This is the 1/4 HP compressor and air filter (MPC-60C) combined with a 2 way heavy duty manifold.

The manifold includes an oil filled pressure gauge to reduce indicator vibration. This gives a more accurate reading of the actual psi of your system. Also attached is a pressure relief valve which opens at approximately 17 psi to prevent damage to the compressor. The gang valves are high quality brass with 3/8″ barbs connectors. A short section of heat resistant hose is included so as to reduce heat to your air hose connection. All high quality components and very nice design.

This is a stand alone unit without any cabinet which is ready to install in your new or existing aeration system. The Matala Piston Compressor with air manifold is ideal as a replacement compressor for a variety of different manufacturer systems.

Features include:

• 1/4hp; 115v; 60 Hz
• Max amps 2.27 @115V; 226 watts
• Max pressure 50 feet deep, 17.34 psi
• 2 way 3/8″ manifold valve.
• Oil filled pressure gauge
• Pressure relief valve
• Heat protection hose.
• OIl-less non lube piston and cylinder.
• Cylinder hard coated for wear resistance.
• Head design allows for easy replacement of piston seal.
• Permanently lubricated bearings.
• Balanced for smooth low vibration operation.
• Safety protected.

To help prevent overheating, please follow these recommendations:

• only use in water less than 50 feet deep
• Use 3/8″ air hose length up to 300 ft long; 5/8″ hose up to 600 ft long; 1″ hose up to 1000 ft long.
• use 2 way manifold and 2 hoses
• compressors require a cooling fan and must have sufficient room for proper heat dissipation.

MPC-120C

This is the 1/2 HP compressor and air filter (MPC-120C) combined with a 3 way heavy duty manifold.

The manifold includes an oil filled pressure gauge to reduce indicator vibration. This gives a more accurate reading of the actual psi of your system. Also attached is a pressure relief valve which opens at approximately 17 psi to prevent damage to the compressor. The gang valves are high quality brass with 3/8″ barbs connectors.
