Champion HR15-12

Champion HR15-12 is a 15 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 53.7 SCFM @ 175 PSI on a 120-gallon tank, wired for 120V, listed as oil-free, weighing 1,210 lbs, priced at $8,995. Several data points require buyer verification: a 15 HP industrial compressor wired for 120V single-phase is unusual — industrial units of this output typically require 208-230V or 460V three-phase; the voltage may be misclassified in available data. Oil-free classification on a 15 HP two-stage cast-iron frame is also atypical — Champion’s HR series is normally oil-lubricated. Champion is a division of FS-Curtis. At 53.7 SCFM and 175 PSI with a 120-gallon receiver and 1,210 lb frame, this is a large-capacity unit suited to multi-bay shops and production floors. Priced at $8,995. Key gaps: Voltage specification needs OEM verification (120V at 15 HP is suspect); lubrication type needs OEM confirmation; OEM datasheet not confirmed.
