The 318HLE Elite Series exists for exactly that situation. It is a \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e, two-stage, 80 gallon compressor that runs on ordinary \u003cstrong\u003e1-Phase\u003c\/strong\u003e power at \u003cstrong\u003e208V\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e230V\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the magnetic starter already fitted, so the only question you have to answer is whether your panel can carry a 60 Amp circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is the honest headline. There is no clever trick involved — single-phase motors at this size simply draw more current than their three-phase equivalents — but it means a shop with a standard service can run tools that would otherwise be off the table.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat it delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pump is rated at \u003cstrong\u003e22.3 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003e100 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a maximum working pressure of \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e. In practical terms that supports continuous work with air sanders, cut-off tools, impact guns and spray equipment, and it supports more than one person at a time — which is where the 80 gallon reserve earns its keep. A big tank does not make more air; it buys you time between the moments when the pump has to catch up, and it stops the motor short-cycling itself to death.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo-stage compression is what makes 175 PSI reasonable. The air is compressed, cooled, and compressed again, so the pump reaches working pressure without the heat a single-stage design generates doing the same job. The cylinder carries a cast-iron sleeve, it is belt driven and splash lubricated, and an oil sight glass means checking the level takes a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit, and will it run?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePower first, because it is the part that stops projects. This unit wires into a \u003cstrong\u003e208V\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e230V\u003c\/strong\u003e single-phase supply and BelAire lists a \u003cstrong\u003e60 Amp\u003c\/strong\u003e breaker for it. Sixty amps of single-phase is a real load — it is the kind of circuit that needs to be planned rather than found. Have a licensed electrician confirm your service capacity, size the conductors and set the disconnect before delivery day. Wiring, permits and inspection are the customer's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpace: this is the horizontal-tank model in the 318 Elite range, meaning it is designed to be long and low rather than tall, which is the layout you want in a building with a low ceiling or a mezzanine over the machine. Exact dimensions for this unit are covered in the note below, and we would rather you asked us than measured off a spec sheet we do not fully trust. Whatever the final figures, the compressor needs a level floor that will carry it, clear air around the pump and belt guard, and a clear path from where the truck can stop to where the machine will stand.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eRead this before you plan the installation\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe specification table attached to this product does not match the product. It is headed with the model number of the sibling unit, the \u003cstrong\u003evertical\u003c\/strong\u003e version of this compressor, and the dimensions it lists describe a tall machine rather than a long one. It also quotes airflow figures that differ from the ones in the product description above.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eThis listing, its title and its feature list\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e318HLE, horizontal 80 gallon tank, 22.3 CFM at 100 PSI, 7.5 HP single phase\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eThe attached specification table\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHeaded with the vertical sibling's model number, a footprint consistent with a vertical tank, and different airflow ratings\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWhat we recommend\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAsk us to confirm the model, orientation, dimensions and airflow in writing before you order\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe are telling you this rather than quietly publishing whichever set looked more plausible. The figures in the description above are the ones this listing states for this model, and they are what the page carries. The competing set is described but not quoted, because we cannot tell you it belongs to this machine. If the exact footprint or the exact airflow decides your purchase, get it confirmed first — it takes one message and it removes the only real risk in buying this unit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the long haul\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tank is ASME rated with a safety valve, and it carries a manual drain. Draining condensate is the one maintenance task that decides how long a tank lives, and the manual valve makes it a deliberate act rather than something you assume is happening. The belt guard is fully enclosed and high-flow, protecting the belt and the operator without trapping heat around the flywheel. Start\/stop pressure switch control means the compressor manages its own cycling, and an aftercooler drops the temperature of the discharge air so a useful share of the moisture condenses at the tank instead of downstream at your tools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor anything moisture-critical — paint, plasma, air-driven electronics — a dryer is still the right answer.

That is a pressure-vessel standard and it is the correct one for the part of this machine that stores air under pressure; it says nothing about the electrical assembly. BelAire's data for this model does not claim a third-party North American electrical safety listing, and we are not going to imply that it does. If your insurer, your fleet policy or a local inspector requires listed shop equipment, ask us what documentation ships with the unit and get the answer in writing before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreight, palletised, to the lower 48 states. Unloading is the customer's job: a forklift, a dock, or a pallet jack on flat hard ground. Where that is not possible, terminal pickup is usually the easier route and we will help you arrange it. A residential delivery address carries a residential fee, quoted with your shipping at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the unit before signing the delivery receipt. Look at the gauge, the belt guard, the motor and the tank, and record any damage on the paperwork with the driver still present. A clean signature turns a straightforward freight claim into an uphill fight.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe listed cover is a \u003cstrong\u003e2 Year\u003c\/strong\u003e bumper-to-bumper factory warranty with nothing additional to purchase. The warranty document supplied with the machine is the governing text, so read it when the compressor arrives. And do not disassemble the pump, motor or electrical box before opening a claim — inspection comes first, and taking a component apart beforehand is the most reliable way to lose cover you were entitled to.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BelAire Compressors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49287154630810,"sku":"318VLE","price":2732.8,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/coretarps.co.uk\/products\/belaire-318hle-air-compressor","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
