Ferrari has arrived 🇮🇹

It’s finally here. Been shooting pcp for about 4 years now. Started off with a small AV tank then upsized to their 97cf. Was filling at the dive shop for 8$ per fill to 4500psi for the first 2 years. Then seen the nomad 2 and thought it was gonna be something reliable and affordable but that didn’t last for 7months. Went back to the dive shop for filling after. Was looking into getting the daystate 110v but decided to go this route. Just received it about an hour ago

Oh nice, 4 stage! Congrats!!! I love my LC-110 and you've done one step better with the above!

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

Can you share with us from who and how much. I also have been wanting a dive compressor for a couple years.

You have to be loving it. Congratulations!

Alkin?.

lovely jubbly.

Coltri, very nice!!!

Thanks, Its a MCH-6 230v. I got it from Nuvair with all the bells n whistle besides the breathable filter. It was $4300 to my door. It came from Socal and Im up north so shipping will vary. Took about one week to get after making the payment.

Very nice! Post some pics when you have it setup

It seems that the base MCH-6 may be a better deal than the Daystate 110.

I found that a stripped down MCH-6 from Nuvair (no additional options), with the filter missing from the Daystate 110, is not much more that the Daystate when you consider the cost of the missing filter ($400).

The Nuvair rep said the filter was not optional, and that it was not a good idea to fill any tank without it.

Also, the MCH-6 is 4 stage while the MCH3/Daystate 110 is 3 stage.

Hi!!!

Very good I have one, the most important thing is to let it cool every time I fill a tank, if it isn't his death, fill several tanks without rest and of course his maintenance services.

Sales reps gotta sell, it's not needed unless you require breathable air or you are pumping in fog/mist.

Not necessarily a better deal, just 2 compressors at different price points built for different purposes. The Daystate LC-110 is sold for $1,995 by AoA whereas an MCH-6 is $2995 at Coltri dealers. I chose an LC-110 for the following reasons. The LC-110 can plug into a household 110 volt outlet whereas the MCH-6 requires a dedicated 220 V outlet, typically at additional cost to the user. I prefer the automatic 4500 psi shutoff built into the LC-110 rather than a pop off valve on an MCH-6 that allows the compressor to run until it is manually turned off. A perfectly satisfactory filter housing setup can be added to the LC-110 including a one way check valve for less than $100 bringing the total cost to $2100 for 100% dry air. Airguns don't require this additional filtration but I posted a thread with all of the fittings and housing illustrated in an old thread on this forum. https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/the-daystate-lc110-compressor-report/page/4/#post-403611 The LC-110 has lower rpms, a lower running temperature, and fills at 1/3 the rate of the MCH-6. Less heat means less parts stress and less tank heat up during a fill. Faster fills cool down and the tank then loses pressure from the hot fill. The LC-110 is a very quiet running compressor at 78 db vs.90 db for the MCH-6. Twelve decibels means the MCH-6 is noticeably louder. Each 6 decibel increase doubles the sound level. The MCH-6 has 4 stages and the LC-110 has 3. The fill rate of the MCH-6 is 3.5 cf per minute vs. the LC-110's 1.1 cfm. A fourth stage isn't required since the LC-110 isn't working as hard to fill as fast. The LC-110 is $1995 plus $100 for equivalent filtration as an MCH-6. $900 savings for a dive compressor design that can top off a 9 liter tank in 30 minutes instead of 10 is a fair trade off for most PCP owners.

I'm not saying the LC-110 is a better value than an MCH-6. But at a $900 apples to apples savings it is up to the individual to decide which one makes more sense for him. Both are made by Coltri and both are good buys at their respective price points and performance levels.

I'll probably get an MCH-6 one of these days. In lieu of installing an additional 220V outlet I could either use an 220V extension cord (if they exist) or a voltage converter.

 

[Bitey]

What kind of plug did it come with?

 

[cfs916]

Thanks! It came bare wire. I got a 230v plug from Home Depot. Gonna do some wiring next week when I have time. I’ll post a picture once it’s setup. 

 

[Centercut]

The normal plug on the 220vac compressors is a NEMA 6-20. HD has them plus 12 gauge 20 amp 3 wire cable (2 hot plus ground).

Extension cords for compressors should be a last resort since extension cords draw more amps and heat based upon their length. Buy an extension cord as short as you can use to reach the compressor. A 15' extension cord or less is better. Make sure any 220V extension cord has 12 gauge wire, or 10 gauge if a longer length is required.. Northern Tool and Harbor Freight sell them or you can make one using 12/3 wire and plugs that match your compressor plug and outlet type.
