Draper 230V 100L Direct Drive V-Twin Air Compressor, 2.2kW/3hp

High-Capacity V-Twin Power for the Professional Workshop

The Draper DA100/412TV is a heavy-duty 230V air compressor built for tradespeople, mechanics, and workshop users who need serious air capacity on tap throughout the working day. Combining a V-twin cylinder cast iron pump with a 2.2kW (3.0hp) motor and a substantial 100-litre tank, this compressor delivers 14.6cfm (412L/min) of air displacement and 8.0cfm (227L/min) free air delivered — a strong specification for demanding pneumatic tools and extended-duty applications.

A 100-Litre Tank for Demanding Workloads

The 100-litre receiver is the headline feature of the DA100/412TV, offering a substantial reserve of compressed air for tools with higher consumption or jobs requiring sustained output. The larger tank means fewer motor cycles, more consistent pressure at the tool, and reduced wear over time — a real advantage in busy workshops where the compressor is in near-constant demand. Maximum working pressure is 116psi (8bar), with the motor turning at 2850rpm.

V-Twin Cast Iron Pump for Long Working Life

The V-twin cylinder configuration spreads the workload across two cylinders, producing higher air volumes more efficiently and running cooler than comparable single-cylinder designs. Built from hard-wearing cast iron, the pump is engineered for longevity under heavy use, making it well-suited to professional environments where downtime matters.

Two Quick Euro Coupling Outlets

The DA100/412TV is fitted with two quick Euro coupling outlets, allowing two users to work simultaneously from a single compressor — or a single user to keep two tools connected and switch between them instantly. It's a practical detail that saves real time when you're moving between tasks like nailing and spraying, or impact work and tyre inflation.

Built-In Protection and Control

Thermal motor protection overload is fitted as standard, helping to safeguard the motor against damage from overheating during heavy or extended use. The on/off pressure switch, pressure regulator, and pressure gauge give you precise, repeatable control over your air output, so you can dial in the right pressure for the tool at hand with confidence.

Movable Where You Need It

At 53kg the DA100/412TV is a substantial workshop machine, but integrated wheels and a transport handle make it possible to manoeuvre around the workshop or reposition between work areas without lifting. The 770 x 380 x 740mm footprint keeps it sensibly sized for a 100-litre compressor, and it runs from a standard 230V / 13A UK mains supply — no special wiring required.

Ideal Applications

The Draper DA100/412TV is a strong fit for demanding pneumatic applications including impact wrenches and ratchets for vehicle servicing and tyre work, brad, finish, and framing nailers, staplers, sanders, grinders, spray guns for paint and finishing work, tyre inflation for cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles, and general workshop dust blowing and cleaning. The combination of V-twin pump, 8cfm FAD, and 100-litre tank makes it especially well-suited to workshops running multiple tools or tools with higher air consumption that would quickly overwhelm a smaller compressor.

Backed by the trusted Draper Tools name, the DA100/412TV combines high-capacity V-twin output, cast iron durability, dual-outlet practicality, and a 100-litre reserve in one professional-grade 230V package — a dependable workhorse for the serious workshop.
