Champion VR3F-12 is a 3 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating air compressor delivering 8.0 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 120V single-phase, weighing 435 lbs. The 120-gallon tank is large relative to the 3 HP motor, designed for applications with moderate average demand but occasional peak bursts: small auto shops, body repair, and light fabrication. Two-stage compression reaches 175 PSI maximum for applications needing pressure above single-stage limits. Splash lubrication suits intermittent-duty shop environments. 120V single-phase power requires no special electrical service. At 435 lbs this can be moved with standard shop equipment. Priced at approximately $4,329 through Champion authorized distributors. Noise level (dB), duty cycle rating, and OEM datasheet URL are not confirmed in available data; request the Champion VR3F-12 spec sheet from Champion Pneumatic or an authorized dealer.
