Viair 40040 400C 12V Sealed Compressor Kit
The Viair 40040 400C kit supplies a 12V compressor with a braided leader hose and remote-filter arrangement for an installed air system. Its 33% duty cycle at 100 PSI is a runtime limit to consider separately from the 150 PSI maximum working pressure.
Specifications and included details
- 12V compressor; listed maximum 12V current draw 32 A.

- Maximum tank-size specification 5 gallons and listed IP67 ingress rating.

Before ordering
Match the unit to a 12V system; the family data also mention a separate 24V current figure. Confirm tank, pressure controls, wiring, ventilation and mounting instructions. A sealed motor rating does not make the full installed system suitable for any exposure.
Product questions and answers
Is this a dual-voltage compressor because 24V current is also listed?
Do not assume dual-voltage operation. The 40040 listing identifies the 12V compressor; confirm the actual unit before connecting power.
Is a 5-gallon tank included?
Five gallons is the maximum tank-size specification. A tank is not established in the listed kit contents.
Does 150 PSI imply continuous operation at that pressure?
No. The stated duty cycle is 33% at 100 PSI. Follow the appropriate operating and cooling schedule for the actual pressure.
