Champion VR7F-12

Champion VR7F-12 is a 7.5 HP two-stage piston air compressor delivering 22.5 SCFM at 125 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V single-phase. The two-stage cast-iron pump compresses air in two steps for reduced heat buildup and better efficiency compared to single-stage units at equivalent horsepower. The 120-gallon vertical tank stores ample air volume to run multiple tools — spray guns, impact wrenches, air ratchets — while limiting compressor cycling. The VR7F designation indicates a V-style pump configuration with a flywheel drive. Champion supports this line through authorized industrial service dealers. Key gaps: motor RPM, decibel rating, weight, and OEM datasheet URL not yet in catalog record.
