Champion BR5-175-208V/1PH

Champion BR5-175-208V/1PH is a 5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating air compressor delivering 17 SCFM at 175 PSI, base-mounted without a receiver tank, wired for 230V single-phase, weighing 290 lbs. The base-mount configuration connects to an existing receiver tank for shops replacing or supplementing existing air systems. At 290 lbs, this is among the more manageable two-stage base-mount units and can be relocated if needed. Two-stage compression reaches 175 PSI maximum for high-pressure pneumatic applications. Splash lubrication suits intermittent-duty shop environments. Priced at approximately $3,238 through Champion authorized distributors. Noise level (dB), duty cycle, and OEM datasheet URL are not confirmed in available data; request the Champion BR5-175 spec sheet from an authorized Champion Pneumatic dealer.
