Viair 48542 Dual 485C Gen 2 12V Compressor Kit
The Viair 48542 supplies two Stealth Black 485C Gen 2 compressors for a 12V air-system installation. Unlike packs whose continuous-duty rating is stated only at 100 PSI, this listing specifies 100% duty cycle at 200 PSI; that distinction still needs to be used within the manufacturer's operating conditions.

Before ordering
Confirm the current packing list and pressure-control arrangement before installation; do not infer switch count or setpoints from another Viair kit. Plan wiring, protection, mounting and ventilation to the manufacturer's instructions. Continuous duty does not establish unlimited airflow for every tool.
Product questions and answers
How does its duty rating differ from 44442 or 48032?
This listing specifies 100% duty cycle at 200 PSI. The cited 44442 and 48032 listings specify 50% at 200 PSI, so pressure-dependent runtime is a meaningful comparison.
Is 44 A the draw of each compressor?
No. The listing identifies 44 A as the combined maximum draw for the two-compressor setup.
Does a 10-gallon specification mean a tank is supplied?
No. It is the maximum tank-size specification. A tank is not established among the supplied components.
