Hyundai Portable Air Compressor 8L Oil Free Low Noise - 550W / 0.75HP
About this product
Powerful And Compact Compressor
The HY5508X is a powerful yet compact 550w direct-drive oil-free low noise, near silent 8 litre air compressor from Hyundai.
Suitable For Various Jobs
Designed for DIY and light applications the HY5508X silenced oil-free air compressor is ideal for air brushing, blowing away dirt and dust, nailing, inflating tyres & inflatables or operating air tools.
Ultra Lightweight Compressor
Weighing only 15kg the HY5508X whisper compressor is lighter than your conventional piston type air compressor and is completely oil-free, so there is no risk of oil contamination in the air supply.
Slow-running for 50% longer life
A slow-running, 4-pole motor operating at 1450 RPM, like the Hyundai HY5508X air compressor, offers reduced noise and results in less wear and tear on internal components, which can extend the air compressor's lifespan. Running at a slower speed typically consumes less energy, making it a more energy-efficient solution for users and potentially lowering electricity costs over the long term.
Portable Air Compressor
The HY5508X features 4 robust rubber mounted feet and a carry handle for easy manoeuvrability.
Powered By Standard Mains Supply
Powered by a 550w motor directly connected to the oil-less air compressor pump and rubber mounted for low vibration, makes it ideal for the home, light workshop or garage use and is powered by standard mains 230v supply.
Maintenance Free
This maintenance-free compressor uses an oil-free diaphragm pump to produce a clean air supply and considerably reduce noise compared to conventional piston compressors.
8L Tank
With an 8-litre tank capacity, this near silent compressor provides an air displacement of 4CFM/ 120 litres per minute and a discharge pressure of 7 bar/ 100 psi.
Euro Quick Release Connectors
Fitted with Euro quick release connectors this compressor is fitted with a standard 13A UK Plug.
Warranty
Covered by Hyundai 2 year standard warranty.
Always read the user manual before use and always follow the safety instructions. Pressure safety valves on Hyundai air compressors have been updated in compliance with the latest CE certification standards. The pressure release pull ring has been removed from the safety valve to prevent it from being misused to drain the air from the compressor tank, causing excessive wear to the valve. Air and moisture should always be released using the drain valve located on the bottom of the tank. Air compressors must be operated strictly on flat, firm surfaces in well-ventilated areas by fully instructed adults using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including eye, hearing, hand, foot, and head protection. To ensure operational safety and prevent equipment failure, operators must never direct high-pressure air output towards people or animals, pull the unit by its air hose, leave it running unattended, or restrict airflow around its ventilation grills. As the air receiver is a pressurized steel vessel, users must never tamper with or pull the safety valve ring to vent air, modify the tank, subject it to severe impacts or corrosive elements, or operate the machine without an air filter fitted. Electrical connections require a grounded, 230V 13A supply—preferably protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD)—while preventing damaged cables or inadequate extension leads that cause dangerous voltage drops. Operators must also avoid touch contact with hot pump cylinders or delivery pipes during and immediately after operation, vent all air pressure before conducting maintenance, and drain accumulated tank condensation daily via the dedicated bottom drain valve to prevent internal corrosion and loss of structural integrity.
