Champion HR5-12-175 is a 5 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 17 SCFM @ 175 PSI on a 120-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V/1-phase, splash-lubricated. The HR series uses cast-iron two-stage piston construction with a simplex drive configuration suited to fabrication shops, automotive service bays, and intermittent industrial production cells. Single-phase 230V power makes it compatible with light commercial and contractor installations without three-phase service. Key specifications: 5 HP motor, 17 SCFM at 175 PSI maximum, 120-gallon horizontal receiver, 230V single-phase, two-stage compression, splash lubrication. Pricing is in the limited-retail industrial tier at approximately $5,145. The HR5-12-175 suits applications requiring sustained 175 PSI delivery with moderate flow where 230V single-phase service is available. Gaps: duty cycle, RPM, weight, and OEM datasheet URL not confirmed from primary source.
