Champion HR5-12

Champion HR5-12 is a 5 HP two-stage splash-lubricated reciprocating air compressor delivering 17 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230 V single-phase, weighing 762 lbs, rated for 100% continuous duty. The 120-gallon tank and 100% duty rating support full-shift operation without thermal shutdown, unusual for a 5 HP unit. Two-stage compression reaches 175 PSI maximum for high-pressure pneumatics, sandblasting, and spray equipment requiring elevated pressure. Splash lubrication provides adequate bearing protection for shop environments. 230 V single-phase power requires no special electrical service. At 762 lbs with a 120-gallon tank, this is a permanently installed unit. Priced at approximately $4,826 through Champion authorized distributors. Noise level (dB) and OEM datasheet URL are not confirmed in available data; request the Champion HR5-12 spec sheet from Champion Pneumatic or an authorized dealer.
