Description
-BelAire 318VN 5-HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Air Compressor (208-230V 1-Phase)
The BelAire 318VN is a powerful two-stage air compressor designed for small to mid-sized workshops requiring reliable and consistent compressed air. It is equipped with a 5 horsepower motor operating on 208-230 volt Single Phase power, delivering 18.5 cubic feet per minute at 100 PSI and 16.6 CFM at 175 PSI. This performance provides ample airflow for powering pneumatic tools and supporting multiple workstations efficiently.
The compressor utilizes a belt-driven, hybrid two-stage pump with a solid cast-iron cylinder, ensuring durability and long-term operation under demanding conditions. It has a maximum working pressure of 175 PSI and features an 80-gallon vertical ASME- and CRN-certified air tank that offers substantial air storage, reducing motor cycling frequency and enhancing overall efficiency in your shop.
Safety and user convenience are prioritized with a start-stop pressure switch that includes an unloader valve, an enclosed high-flow belt guard to protect moving parts, stainless steel valves, an oil sight glass for easy maintenance checks, and ASME-approved safety relief valves. The manual drain valve simplifies tank maintenance, while the thermal protection on the motor provides additional operational safety.
Measuring 39 inches in length, 24 inches in width, and 77 inches in height, the vertical design conserves valuable floor space. Weighing approximately 428 pounds, the BelAire 318VN is built to withstand continuous use and heavy workloads. It requires a 40-amp breaker for installation, and although it does not include a magnetic starter, its pre-wired configuration simplifies setup. Backed by a two-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, this air compressor offers dependable performance and peace of mind for your compressed air needs.
