Champion VRV3-6-230V/1Ph is a 3 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 8.2 SCFM @ 175 PSI on a 60-gallon tank, wired for 230V single-phase, oil-lubricated, weighing 509 lbs, priced at $3,070. The two-stage cast-iron piston design reaches 175 PSI maximum working pressure. Despite the modest 3 HP motor, the heavy 509 lb frame and 60-gallon receiver suggest a robust industrial-grade build suited to tire shops, maintenance bays, and intermittent production air supply. Oil lubrication requires scheduled maintenance but supports higher duty cycles than oil-free alternatives. At 8.2 SCFM, output is adequate for one moderate air tool at a time. Champion is a division of FS-Curtis, a US industrial compressor manufacturer. Priced at $3,070 through industrial distribution. Key gaps: OEM datasheet not confirmed; duty cycle not published; RPM and bore/stroke not available.
