Champion VRV5-8 Industrial Two-Stage Air Compressor

Champion VRV5-8 is a 5‑hp, two‑stage, splash‑lubricated reciprocating air compressor built for industrial workloads. It features an 80‑gallon vertical tank with vibration isolators and runs on 230‑volt single‑phase power, powered by a 1,800‑rpm motor drawing about 28 amps. The unit delivers roughly 18.1 CFM at 125 PSI (and about 17 CFM at 175 PSI), making it suitable for running multiple air tools or spray equipment in a shop. The pump housing uses cast‑iron cylinders, crankcase, and head, paired with a deep‑fin intercooler, oil sight glass, and an industrial‑grade intake filter silencer to help reliability and reduce noise. A capacitor‑start configuration with automatic start/stop control manages startup and operation, while the 80‑gallon vertical tank supports longer cycles between fills. This VRV5-8 model sits in Champion’s RV‑Series lineup of rugged, two‑stage compressors intended for automotive, light manufacturing, and workshop applications that require steady air pressure and consistent flow.
