Champion HR5-12 is a 5 HP two-stage piston air compressor delivering 17 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V single-phase. The two-stage cast-iron simplex pump provides sustained shop-floor air at 175 PSI for impact wrenches, air ratchets, blow guns, and spray equipment. The 120-gallon horizontal receiver buffers demand to reduce compressor cycling. At 5 HP, this model targets small shops, garages, and light industrial applications that need industrial-duty construction without the cost of a larger horsepower unit. Champion backs this line through authorized service dealers. Key gaps: motor RPM, decibel rating, unit weight, and OEM datasheet URL not in catalog; the 17 SCFM output is relatively conservative for a 5 HP two-stage unit.
