Advantage-HR5-8

Champion Advantage HR5-8 is the dressed-up trim of the R-15-Simplex 5 HP two-stage piston compressor: same R-15B cast-iron pump, same 737 RPM, same 17.0 CFM at 175 PSI, same 80-gallon horizontal ASME tank. Advantage trim adds a low-oil motor protection switch, an electronic auto tank drain, a vibration-isolator package, a 5-year pump warranty (vs. 3 standard), and a magnetic starter pre-wired in an enclosed panel. Net weight is approximately 535 lbs. Available in 230V single-phase and 208/230/460V three-phase configurations. Splash-lubricated, with cast-iron cylinders, Swedish steel valves, and ChampLub oil. Best fit is a small commercial body shop, a one-bay machine shop, or a high-quality home shop where pump longevity and quiet operation matter more than upfront price. Champion is one of the few US-made piston compressor brands that still uses tapered roller bearings on the crankshaft. Made in the USA at Champion’s Princeton, Illinois plant. The HR5-8 ships ready to run; you bolt down, wire to a 230V service, and start producing air.
