{"product_id":"champion-hrv7-12-air-compressor","title":"Champion Air Compressor HRV7-12 7.5 HP 3 Phase 1800 RPM","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChampion HRV7-12: a compressor that arrives wired rather than assembled\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlenty of shop compressors are sold as a pump, a motor and a tank, with the starter and the controls left as somebody else's problem. The HRV7-12 is not one of them. It is a packaged simplex unit: the magnetic NEMA 1 starter comes mounted as standard, the control is a tank-mounted start\/stop pressure switch, the intake filter and silencer are fitted, the drive is behind an enclosed belt guard, and the receiver is ASME coded. The job on site is a connection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBehind that package sits the RV30 pump driven by a \u003cstrong\u003e7.5 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor at \u003cstrong\u003e1,800 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e, feeding a \u003cstrong\u003e120-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e receiver and rated at \u003cstrong\u003e24 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e to \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e. The whole machine weighs \u003cstrong\u003e882 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat \"packaged\" is worth in practice\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe saving is not really the price of a starter. It is the sequence of small decisions that a half-supplied compressor forces on you at the worst moment: matching a starter to the motor's full-load current, selecting an enclosure rating for a dusty shop, wiring and testing the control circuit, and then explaining all of it to an inspector who would rather see a factory-assembled machine. A packaged unit answers those questions before the crate is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NEMA 1 enclosure is the right thing to notice here. It is a general-purpose indoor rating, which is the correct choice for a normal shop and the wrong one for a wash bay, a wet plant room or an outdoor lean-to. If the compressor is not going to live in a dry indoor space, tell us before you order and we will talk the enclosure rating through with you first.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSizing 24 CFM honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the smaller end of the RV range, and it is worth being blunt about what it suits. \u003cstrong\u003e24 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e covers a one to two-bay shop with intermittent air-tool work — impacts, blow guns, tyre inflation, a ratchet, occasional grinding. It does not comfortably cover two continuous-draw tools running side by side all day, because a sander or a die grinder will take air for as long as somebody holds the trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e120-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e receiver is what keeps the modest number workable. Reserve buys you the bursts: the tank carries a sudden demand that would flatten a smaller vessel, the pump catches up between them, and the motor starts less often. Starting is where compressors wear, and loadless starting — the head is vented so the motor accelerates unloaded — is on this unit for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit? Read this section before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished dimensions for this model differ.

The overall length it also records, \u003cstrong\u003e35.3\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, is close to the base dimensions of the upright models in this same series and nothing like the long runs of the horizontal ones. The two figures describe different machines, so \u003cstrong\u003eask us to confirm the tank orientation and the true footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e against the factory drawing before you commit to a wall or a corner — we will take it from the Champion drawing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our data holds an overall height as a bare number with no unit written next to it, so no clearance figure appears here.
