98C Compressor, Viair with lead

The 00098 air compressor from Viair is a compact 12-volt onboard air solution designed for air suspension systems, air horns, and light pneumatic applications. Commonly referred to as the 98C model, this compressor features a polished chrome finish and a sealed motor housing for durability in automotive environments.

This unit is rated for a 10% duty cycle at 100 PSI, making it suitable for maintaining air tanks and frequent cycling in street-driven vehicles. It is capable of producing up to 130 PSI maximum working pressure and flows approximately 0.88 CFM at 0 PSI.

Key specifications:

• 12-volt permanent magnetic motor
• Maximum working pressure: 130 PSI
• 10% duty cycle @ 100 PSI
• Sealed, moisture- and dust-resistant motor
• Polished chrome finish
• 1/4" NPT stainless steel braided leader hose with inline check valve
• Thermal overload protection

The compressor works well with small air reservoirs typically used in air ride suspension systems or train horn setups.

Compact sizing makes it ideal where space is limited while still providing reliable pressure recovery for single-compressor systems. Recommended wiring: a properly rated relay and fused power supply for safe operation.
