TEH TAC24L 24L Oil-Free Air Compressor — Dual Gauge — 8 Bar — 250 L/min — Home & Light Trade

The TEH TAC24L is a compact yet powerful 24-litre oil-free air compressor designed for home DIYers, light trade use, and professional-lite applications. Powered by a single 1500W 2HP 100% copper winding motor, it delivers a real-world FAD of 120 L/min (4.2 CFM) at 6 Bar and 100 L/min (3.5 CFM) at 8 Bar (116 PSI), providing consistent, usable airflow for a wide range of pneumatic tools and precision applications.

The TAC24L is equipped with dual pressure gauges — allowing simultaneous monitoring of tank pressure and working output pressure for precise control over every application. With an ultra-low noise level of just 70–75 dB, it is one of the quietest compressors in its class, making it equally suitable for home workshops, garages, and environments where noise must be kept to a minimum.

The 100% oil-free motor requires zero maintenance, produces no oil contamination in the airline, and delivers instant start with no warm-up time needed. Built with 100% copper winding for superior thermal stability and long motor life, the TAC24L runs reliably session after session. Backed by a 1 year warranty and free UK mainland delivery, the TAC24L is the first step up in the TEH professional oil-free range.

Full Technical Specifications

Performance and Flow Rate Guide

The TAC24L delivers consistent airflow across the full pressure range, from 250 L/min at 0 Bar down to 100 L/min at the maximum rated pressure of 8 Bar (116 PSI). The 6 Bar and 8 Bar FAD values are confirmed from factory specification. All intermediate values are derived from the factory performance curve. Always match tool requirements against FAD values — not max displacement.

FAD (Free Air Delivery) is the actual usable airflow delivered at the outlet at the stated pressure. The 6 Bar and 8 Bar figures are confirmed factory FAD values. Always use FAD figures when matching tools, not the max displacement value.

Tool Compatibility and Simultaneous Use Guide

The TAC24L is rated for 1 to 2 tools at full working pressure. Use the guide below to confirm your tools are within the rated output.

Continuous Full Support

• Tyre and ball inflation: Continuous operation — well within rated capacity
• Blow guns and air dusters: Continuous use for workshop cleaning and dusting
• Brad nailers and pin nailers (1-2 CFM): Fully supported — consistent output with fast tank recovery
• Finish nailers and trim nailers (2-3 CFM): Continuous use for finish carpentry, architrave, and skirting board work
• Airbrushing and fine detail spray guns (2-3 CFM): Fully supported — ideal for airbrushing, model painting, and precision finishing
• Staple guns and light pneumatic fasteners: Continuous operation within rated capacity
• Small HVLP touch-up spray guns (3-4 CFM): Supported for intermittent touch-up and detail painting at reduced pressure

Light Simultaneous Use (2 Tools)

• Brad nailer and blow gun running together: Within rated FAD at 8 Bar — supported for simultaneous light operation
• Two light fastening tools: Combined airflow requirement must not exceed 100 L/min (3.5 CFM) at 8 Bar

Not Recommended

• Full-size HVLP spray guns for complete vehicle painting: Exceeds continuous FAD capacity — step up to TAC50L or TAC100L for paint applications requiring 7+ CFM
• Continuous orbital sanders (12 CFM): Exceeds rated capacity — see TAC100L or TAC130L for multi-sander applications

Perfect For

• Home DIY workshops and garages
• Light trade and professional-lite applications
• Airbrushing, hobby painting, and model finishing
• Brad and pin nailers for finish carpentry and trim work
• Tyre and ball inflation

UK Workshop Installation Guide

Power Requirement

The TAC24L operates from a standard 230V 13A UK mains socket. No special wiring, dedicated circuit, or industrial supply is required.

Daily Maintenance

Water condensate can accumulate in the 24-litre tank during use. Open the drain valve at the base of the tank regularly to release any condensation and prevent internal corrosion. This takes under 60 seconds and is essential for long tank life.

Positioning

Position the TAC24L on a stable, level surface with clear ventilation around the motor. Do not operate in enclosed spaces without adequate airflow.

Warranty and Support

WARRANTY: The TEH TAC24L is covered by a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in parts and motor under normal operating conditions. Warranty is valid for UK purchases through TEH Tools UK. Regular tank drainage is required to maintain warranty validity.
