The unit operates on 208–230V three-phase power and includes a factory-installed magnetic starter.

Combined with the aftercooler, this helps control discharge temperature and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereduces the amount of moisture reaching downstream equipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. That matters for paint work, pneumatic tools and other applications where water in the air system can damage equipment or affect results. The 80-gallon receiver can also store more compressed air at the 175 PSI maximum, giving the system a larger reserve at normal working pressures and potentially reducing how frequently the motor needs to cycle. A low-oil protection switch and oil sight glass provide additional pump protection, while the fully enclosed belt guard covers the drive system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis compressor is a good fit for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eautomotive service bays, paint and body shops, fabrication facilities and light industrial operations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that already have 208–230V three-phase service. Its horizontal layout works well where floor space is available but a tall vertical receiver would be impractical. The manufacturer recommends a 30-amp breaker, while actual electrical requirements should be confirmed by a certified electrician based on the building, wire run and local code. The compressor should be installed on a level, solid floor with enough clearance around the pump for service and cooling airflow. An air dryer is not included; BelAire recommends the CPXHT25 separately for applications requiring additional compressed-air drying.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAir delivery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air at 100 PSI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air at 175 PSI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.6 CFM\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\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, belt drive, aluminum with cast iron sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLubrication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil lubricated, splash system, sight glass fitted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMotor and electrical\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSupply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208V or 230V, 3-phase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended breaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 amp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAmp draw\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm with a certified electrician\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStarter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnetic starter included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTank, size and weight\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReceiver\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80-gallon, horizontal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank outlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e481 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConfirm the Tank Drain Before Plumbing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished specifications disagree on the tank drain.
