Champion VR10-12

Champion VR10-12 is a 10 HP two-stage gas-engine-capable reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 33.8 SCFM @ 175 PSI on a 120-gallon tank, weighing 882 lbs. The VR series uses cast-iron two-stage piston construction in a simplex arrangement. The voltage field lists 120V, which likely reflects the electric-start voltage for an engine-driven variant rather than primary power supply. Key specifications: 10 HP, 33.8 SCFM at 175 PSI maximum, 120-gallon tank, 882 lbs, two-stage compression, splash lubrication, gas-powered. Pricing at approximately $6,722 (price verified 2026-05-26). Suitable for remote-site or portable shop applications where utility power is unavailable. Note: power_type listed as gas in catalog data; voltage 120 may refer to electric-start battery circuit. Gaps: duty cycle, orientation, RPM, engine make/model, and OEM datasheet URL not confirmed from primary source.
