Q: Is there any place to find replacement air filters. IR product number in the owners Manuel is wrong. I've tried using product dimensions via silvery. It seems like there isn't anyone that can give you a part number. Thank you for your help. It's hard to believe the owners Manuel part numbers don't exist. by Patrick Gillespie from Oregon on June 30, 2016
A: Unfortunately, we do not sell any belts or other replacement parts. Here's the link to find the nearest IR parts & service center: http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/contactus/SearchCenter/contactus_am_en.aspx?s=c&rid=1&rnf=&uid=&lid=1&sales=0&services=1
Q: We are requiring air compressor with 2.5 cfm @101 psi so we bumped up our requirement to 5 cfm and 150 psi. Our querry is whether this is a good option to go with it. by Kush from Illinois on July 30, 2015
A: Unfortunately, this compressor will not work. Single stage compressors fill the air tank to 125-135 psi but they do not turn back on until the tank reaches 95 psi. So a two stage compressor would be needed to maintain the higher pressure. A two stage compressor has a cut out @ 175 psi & a cut in @ 135 psi.
This is an awesome unit from US manufacturer Ingersoll Rand. It is portable, but you'll need some muscle to get the 200 pounds moving in the right direction.
That weight translates into durability, so it's a good thing. The cast iron pump is designed for small shops and serious do-it-yourselfers who need a continuous-duty compressor that can still run on household current.
The single phase, 115V motor will need to be on a 16 amp circuit, but no special plugs or wiring are needed. This... more

It's What A Small Compressor Should Be
It's an industrial style compressor in a compact, small garage size.
The only annoyance I had was that it came with pneumatic tires that instruct you not to fill with compressed air. You have to use a bike pump? I find that very ironic and of the logic you would get from a foreign countries product of say Asian manufacture. Should come with flat-free tires if you can't use the air compressor to self inflate. I wonder if IR employees find that amusing?
Anyway, other than that it seemed of good sturdy quality and held air very well. I would always want the bigger compressor but needed to fill a small space which it does very well. One more irony is that you can't lift by the mobility handle such as going up a stepped incline. Well how else would you move it reasonably? Through bolts will solve the problem. I will probably put bolts through the handle one day and change out tires to flat-free and all will be well.
I gave it the good rating because it deserved that and I think most people won't be bothered by what bothered me. It has the IR name and hopefully will outlast me. Good luck with your purchase.

Pros:Quiet, High Quality, Easy To Store, I'd Buy It Again
Cons:Heavy, Pneumatic tires, Can't lift up steps

Todd,
Thank you for your kind words- but a 1 star rating is the worst; 5 stars is the best... We aren't allowed to tamper with customer's ratings, but I'm glad you took the time to explain.
This model is my workhorse for medium-heavy torque drivers, texture sprayers, finish/siding/framing nailers, tire inflating, surface dusting, you name it.
It is arguably the best air compressor in this price range; it is THE best one in its CFM range. (When IR says it delivers X amount of air, you can pretty much bet it delivers X+1.) I've had it for a couple years now and I expect many more years of reliability from it.
Now, as far as the topic of IR, US-made, and all that... I know a handful of tradesmen who have sworn by their IR tools for decades and I know handfuls more who wish their bosses/companies would buy IR. These are red-blooded Americans.
My best friend's Dad welded at the IR plant in Garland, TX, building everything from fasteners to bearings to cranes to massive drilling drill bits for the U.S. energy industry and such; he worked there for many long years until retirement. He's proud as ever to have worked for IR, and believed it to be the finest company in its respective fields.
Nothing has changed: highest quality standards, best quality build, deservedly stellar reputation. To me, it doesn't matter where it's made. Why? Because IR offers the best quality at a very fair price, and that is always good for the common man and the economy in any country. It keeps me, my family and friends, and 1000s upon 1000s of folks, in untold numbers of communities, employed and very well equipped to sustain a decent quality of life.
This argument can probably be made about most manufacturers here at ACD.com, but I had to chime in on this page because it hit close to home.

I Own One
IR has US plants- true. The tank is US made. The motor, pump, & valve are sourced from china... stamped on the unit!
FYI- the larger units are Made In USA, we have 5 units in our plant.
Product Expert
Jerry,
If the manufacturer states an air compressor meets the Made in USA rules, we will describe it that way.
If the manufacturer tells us it's been assembled in the USA, we can also say that- but the two terms are not inter-changeable.
This IR compressor rocks! It was past time to upgrade from my pancake compressor and this machine hasn't let me down.
It's relatively portable for slightly over 200 lbs. and seems to be able to handle everything I've thrown at it so far. Impact guns, ratchets and sanders just keep on going with this beast. It will only pump up to 135 psi and seems to have a small air leak that I will try and find tomorrow, but I'm definitely impressed so far.
Ingersoll Rand has been doing it right for years and this is just another A+ product from them.
This is my second product I've bought from Power Equipment Direct and I'm very happy with them. Another store had the same compressor cheaper. Although I would have to had it shipped to the store, paid taxes on it and not to mention deal with all the incompetence and hassle that Sears has become famous for. I chose to spend my hard earned money with a company I've come to trust... AirCompressorsDirect.com

D.w.,
Thank you for your kind words- we will do our best to keep earning your business!
I originally purchased a Sears Craftsman air compressor. Got it home, plugged it in, and I think it was the loudest thing I've ever heard. Plus it couldn't keep up with my DA Sander. I returned it the next day. Got online, did my research, and purchased this compressor from Air Compressors Direct. I am very pleased with the purchase. Took about 6 days for delivery, which I think was fast delivery. The Ingersoll Rand compressor is not as loud and delivers the air requirements I need. I would recommend this Compressor for any garage DIY.

I was extremely pleased with the way the carrier handled delivery of the compressor. The set up instructions are very simple. The initial start-up was perfect. You have an excellent product. Thanks!

Great Air Compressor
I never owned an air compressor prior to this one but I did a lot of research and decided on the P1.5IU-A9. The best price when compared to other similar models, same size capacity and same size HP, was at Air Compressors Direct.
I found the same model on another website that was on sale- but when the tax and shipping was added cost more than the regular price at Air Compressors Direct, which does not charge taxes or delivery. So I purchased it from here.
The compressor has worked great so far. The instructions were easy to understand and started it up after about five minutes of prep. It seems to be fairly quiet based on other reviews I have read. I have used it with a few nail guns and has worked with no issues at all.
I don't plan on using it to paint with or to build cars, just around the house type of "stuff". It seems to be well built and extremely sturdy. My only problem/complaint is not about the product, its about the delivery. AVERITT EXPRESS was the delivery service. I provided my cell phone number and they were supposed to have contacted me by phone to make delivery arrangements, which never happened.
Instead I get a text from my neighbor who advised me that the air compressor had just been delivered. He helped the driver with delivery. The driver advised my neighbor that there was no contact number. I rechecked my order and my cell phone was right there in the line which asks for a phone number.
Anyway no problem with the compressor or the service at Air Compressors Direct, there is room for improvement in the delivery of the product.

We will work with the folks at Averitt Express to improve service in your area- you should have gotten a call from their dispatch office to set up a time and day for the delivery.
I'm glad you had a friendly neighbor to help out! We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.
I purchased similar unit several years ago from a big box. Immediately aware of a leak at a weld in tank. Tried to return to store but was told all warranty was through vendor - they would have exchanged if they had a unit in stock they said but item was discontinued and discounted.
Contacted IR and was told I needed to ship to out of state site for repair - told them that was cost prohibitive but they were firm that nothing would be done unless I shipped it to them. I welded and repaired site but new leaks immediately occurred elsewhere on seam. Finally transferred compressor to old Craftsman tank.

Don,
Ingersoll Rand's Factory Warranty on this unit covers defects in materials & workmanship for 1 year- so that sounds like your situation. You could also use Ingersoll Rand's Service Locator to find the closest locations to your zip code; they are showing 2 in your area (Livonia & Rockwood).
The terms of most Factory Warranties will say that if you alter the unit you void the warranty- I'm sorry, but trying the repair yourself has probably done that, so using another air receiver was probably the next-best solution.
Freight company showed up with the compressor which was damaged. Call ACD and was re-ordered. I have not seen the compressor yet and when I called they had no info on the compressor. I have no shipping notice and no support. If I do not receive it in another week. I will cancel the order. Air Compressors Direct is not a good company.
Product Expert
Gary,
Gary, the replacement order was shipped from IR's KY factory on 9/4, but we did not get the shipment info until yesterday, 9/17. We emailed the PRO/tracking # yesterday but we will send it again along with the contact info for the freight company.
I think Steve is being a little misleading when he refers to it "US manufacturer Ingersoll Rand" From what I understand is that only the tank is made here. The motor and pump are made out of the country.
Product Expert
James,
Ingersoll Rand has 47 manufacturing and assembly plants in the United States; we think that qualifies them as a U.S. Manufacturer.
We currently CANNOT ship this product to Alaska, California, Hawaii, Tennessee, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi or any destination outside of the United States
