Nardi Pacific E — Italian-engineered portable high-pressure breathing air compressor from Nardi Compressori. The Pacific E is the open-frame, heavy-duty portable in the Pacific line, an ideal solution for fire service, first-responder, commercial diving, and industrial breathing-air work that has to move between sites. It runs on an electric motor (Pacific E) or a gasoline engine (Pacific EG), with an aluminium crankcase that keeps weight down and improves heat dissipation, and an optional integrated trolley for added mobility.
Select your Compressor Type above (Electric or Gasoline), then use the configurator on this page to choose model, operating pressure, connection type, voltage, purification, and factory-installed options. The price updates as you configure.

Replacement parts and consumables
The Pacific E ships with the PAC 1 purification tower as standard. Replace its cartridge per the schedule in your Operator's Manual — see the Nardi Filter PAC1 Replacement Filter Cartridge, and choose Electric (MC-AC media) for the electric Pacific E, or Gasoline / Diesel (MC-AC-HO with Hopcalite) for the gasoline Pacific EG. If your unit was ordered with a PAC 2 or PAC 3 tower upgrade, order the matching cartridge instead. Other Pacific consumables, hose-connection accessories, and service kits are sold separately — contact us for the correct reference.
