Champion VRV10-12 is a 10 HP two-stage piston air compressor delivering 32.0 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V three-phase. The two-stage cast-iron pump compresses air in two steps for reduced heat buildup and improved efficiency relative to single-stage units at equivalent horsepower. At 10 HP and 32.0 CFM, the VRV10-12 supports multiple simultaneous air tools — sanders, impacts, spray guns — with the 120-gallon vertical tank reducing cycling on intermittent shop demand. The simplex configuration houses a single pump head on the receiver. Champion supports this line through its authorized industrial service dealer network. Key gaps: OEM datasheet URL not retrieved; decibel rating, motor RPM, and weight not in catalog record.
