Metabo HPT UA3810AB Air Tank 10 Gallon
- Capacity: 10-gallon capacity ensures sufficient pressure to power five or more nailers at the same time
- Application: Ensure the air pressure being supplied to all nailers is sufficient, and that the required PSI remains constant - even if the compressor is 200 or more feet away
- Certification: Certified by the American society of mechanical engineers (ASME), ensures compliance with laws and regulations of all U.S. states
- Couplers: 5 quick connect couplers (4 unregulated + 1 regulated) allow for easy one handed connections of hoses and/or splitters

A dedicated reserve tank for crews juggling several nailers on long hose runs, not a compressor replacement. Worth it if pressure drop at the far end of the jobsite is the actual problem.

Overview
The UA3810AB is a 10 gallon reserve air tank that sits between an air compressor and pneumatic nailers, holding pressure steady when hoses run long distances. ASME certified with five quick connect couplers, it is built for framing and jobsite crews running several nail guns off one compressor.
This is a passive holding tank, not a compressor of its own; it needs to be charged from a separate compressor before it does anything. The angled steel legs and roll cage around the gauges point to a tool meant to sit on rough ground and take abuse, and the shut off valve lets it be filled, disconnected and moved while still pressurized.
- 10 gallon ASME certified tank
- 5 quick connect couplers (4 unregulated, 1 regulated)
- Angled steel legs for stability
- Roll cage protects gauges and regulator
Who it's for
Contractors and framing crews who run multiple nailers from a single compressor, especially when the compressor sits far from the work area and hose-end pressure drop is a problem. Not for anyone looking for a standalone air source.
Pros and cons
- Holds enough air for five or more nailers at once
- ASME certified for US compliance
- 5 quick connect couplers, 4 unregulated and 1 regulated
- Angled steel legs and roll cage add jobsite durability
- Not a standalone air source, must be filled by a separate compressor
- Adds another component to haul and set up on site
Performance notes
The 10 gallon tank absorbs demand spikes so that when several nailers fire at once, the compressor does not have to keep pace in real time; the tank supplies the burst while the compressor slowly refills it. The shut off ball valve on the input lets the tank hold its charge and be moved once filled, and the industrial gauges sit inside a roll cage so they survive being dragged around a site.
