BRA8380V — 80-Gallon 8 HP 175 max. PSI 3-Phase Vertical Air Compressor. Supply compressed air to tools within the compressor’s stated capacity.

Applications and industries

Automotive service, fabrication and maintenance workshops are potential users with a suitable installation and duty requirement.

• Add the air demand of tools that may run together.
• Then check the listed electrical supply, receiver capacity and installation requirements.

These industry examples are selection guidance, not additional manufacturer approvals.

Features of BRA8380V

Primary official feature details

• Aluminum head and cast iron valve plates with serviceable stainless steel valves promote lower operating temperatures, higher efficiencies and longer compressor life
• Cast iron cylinders and crank shafts with replaceable bearings last longer and are easier to service
• Aluminum crank case with sight glass dissipates heat and allows easy monitoring of oil condition and level
• Finned aluminum intercooler with interstage pressure relief valve reduces pump temperature for longer pump life
• Finned aluminum aftercooler and one way pump head pressure unloader valve produces drier air with less load on the motor at start-up
• Dual belt drive, a flywheel with integrated pump fan, and a steel belt guard provide safety and added pump cooling
• Auto on/off pressure switch and a high-pressure safety valve regulate air pressure within design specifications
• 80-gallon powder coated ASME? tank supplies air when needed with a durable finish that protects from corrosion
• Pressure gauge for quick monitoring and an automatic tank drain to reduce internal tank corrosion
• Two (2) inspection/outlet ports and rubber isolation pads absorb vibration and reduce noise

Additional official feature details

• 72dB operating level helps to minimize the effects of noise in the workplace
• Two year warranty

BRA8380V selection checklist

For BRA8380V, verify the required task, working range, interface dimensions and package contents against the official catalogue details. This final check helps prevent ordering a visually similar model with a different fit or capability.

Choosing BRA8380V for the task

Map the air connection from the supply to the equipment before choosing a hose, coupling or control component. Thread size, connection gender, sealing arrangement and coupling profile are separate characteristics. Matching only one of them may still leave an incompatible assembly. Next, review the published pressure and flow requirements for every relevant component. A connection that physically fits does not automatically meet the operating requirement.

For a compressor, compare delivered air performance and the intended duty with the equipment demand. Receiver size alone does not describe the available continuous supply. Installation, electrical supply and maintenance access also need planning. For a smaller air-line component, identify the exact role: connection, filtration, regulation or another stated function. Keep the selected part number and its requirements with the equipment record. Any installation or system change should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the applicable workshop procedure.

Planning the workshop application

Define the intended job in practical terms before comparing options. Record the equipment or component involved, the operation to perform and the access available around it. Include the current tool or accessory if this purchase replaces an existing item. That context helps distinguish a size change from a different product function. It also makes the application and industry examples above easier to assess against the actual work.

Understanding the catalogue record

The official listing identifies this model as 80-Gallon 8 HP 175 max. PSI 3-Phase Vertical Air Compressor. Its catalogue grouping is Air Compressors / Snap-on® Air Compressors (3-Phase). Use that description to identify the product format, then read the individual specifications for the details that matter to the job. A category describes where the product sits in the range; it is not an additional compatibility approval.

Further catalogue details

• Tank, gal: 80
• Hour Meter: Yes
• Amp Requirements: 30 @ 208/230 V
• Horsepower, HP: 8

For this record, the available specification labels include Auto Tank Drain; Mag Starter; Air Delivery SCFM @ PSI. Read each value together with its label and unit. A drive size, external dimension and working range describe different things, even if their numbers look similar. If the job requires a value that is not listed, request that detail before ordering instead of estimating it from the photograph.

The catalogue country-of-origin field is CAN. This field concerns the listed product origin; it does not identify local inventory, delivery time or the warranty terms of a Vietnam quotation. Confirm those commercial details separately.

Comparing options before ordering

The comparison above names BRARS8380H and BRA20312H. Review the displayed differences against the requirement for this job. Begin with function and compatibility, then compare access, configuration and included components. If the names differ by size, drive, colour or kit format, identify which difference matters before making a choice. Similar models are not automatic replacements, and a larger or more expensive option is not necessarily the better match.

Purchase questions and receiving checks

What should the order include?

Ask for a line-item description of the supplied configuration. For a set or kit, confirm the contents; for a component, confirm the quantity and the matching parent model where relevant. If photographs show a larger assembly or several items, do not assume all of them form part of this SKU. Keep any essential accessories and documents explicit in the quotation so that receiving checks can follow the same requirements.

Receiving, care and record keeping

On receipt, compare the item and its packaging with the ordered model, quantity and configuration. Check the supplied components and any requested documentation. Keep the product identification visible in the workshop’s inventory record. If the delivered item differs from the confirmed order, resolve that difference before assigning it to the planned job. This is especially useful when a range contains visually similar sizes or accessories for different parent tools.

For continued use, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inspection, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Do not assume that a cleaning chemical, lubricant or maintenance method used on another tool is suitable here. Keep damaged or uncertain equipment out of the planned task until its condition is assessed. Record any replacement parts by model so future orders use the confirmed reference rather than a visual guess.

Ordering in Vietnam

Send Techmaster Vietnam the model number BRA8380V and details of the task or existing equipment. Include any required sizes, connections and accessories.

Before ordering, confirm the quotation, lead time, package contents and applicable warranty terms. The official catalogue is the technical reference; it does not establish local stock or a Vietnam selling price.
