Its low-profile design is the main advantage over vertical compressors, allowing it to fit beneath mezzanines, windows, benches and other low-clearance areas. The Elite Series package also includes a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler, automatic tank drain and low-oil protection. It operates on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e208V or 230V single-phase power\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with a factory-installed magnetic starter. Note: the unit measures approximately 71\" × 24\" × 49\" and weighs 501 lbs, so confirm the available floor length, access path and electrical service before installation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two-stage belt-driven pump uses a cast-iron cylinder sleeve and splash lubrication with an oil sight glass. Air is compressed in two stages with cooling between them, helping the pump reach 175 PSI without forcing the entire compression load through a single hot stage.

The pressurized automatic tank drain removes that condensate without relying on an operator to remember a daily draining routine.

The horizontal configuration works particularly well when the compressor needs to sit along a wall rather than occupy the vertical space required by a tall tank. BelAire lists a 40-amp breaker, but a licensed electrician should verify the service, conductor sizing and disconnect requirements for your installation. The compressor includes its aftercooler and automatic drain, but an air dryer is not included; BelAire recommends the CPXHT25 for applications requiring additional moisture control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e318HE, Elite Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 HP, 208V or 230V, 1-Phase, magnetic starter fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended breaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 Amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, cast-iron cylinder sleeve, belt drive, splash lubricated, low oil shut-off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAirflow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 CFM at 100 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCooling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 gallon horizontal ASME, automatic pressurised drain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAir outlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71 in.
