BelAire 318HLE 7.5 HP 80 Gallon Horizontal Single Phase "Elite" Air Compressor
The BelAire 318HLE represents the pinnacle of single-phase air compressor performance, delivering industrial-grade power in a configuration designed for shops and facilities without three-phase electrical service. This 7.5 HP two-stage "Elite" compressor features an 80-gallon horizontal tank and produces an impressive 25.25 CFM at 100 PSI, providing the sustained air delivery needed for demanding professional applications. Built with a solid cast iron cylinder and engineered for maximum reliability, the 318HLE comes complete with everything you need to optimize your work and minimize downtime, including tank drain and discharge valve.
What sets the "Elite Series" apart is the comprehensive package of professional-grade features included as standard equipment. Every Elite compressor includes a magnetic starter for safe motor operation, low oil switch for pump protection, automatic tank drain to eliminate moisture buildup, and a triple pass pump-mounted aftercooler to ensure dry, cool compressed air. This isn't just a compressor—it's a complete, professionally-equipped air system ready to deliver years of reliable service backed by a 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Elite Series Standard Equipment
The BelAire Elite Series sets a new standard for what should come standard. While other manufacturers charge extra for essential components, BelAire includes professional-grade equipment that protects your investment and optimizes performance:
- Magnetic Starter: Provides safe, reliable motor starting and overload protection
- Low Oil Switch: Automatically shuts down the pump if oil level drops, preventing catastrophic damage
- Automatic Tank Drain: Eliminates moisture accumulation without manual intervention

Built to Industrial Standards
The 318HLE features solid cast iron cylinder construction—not aluminum—delivering superior heat dissipation, wear resistance, and longevity that aluminum simply cannot match. The 80-gallon horizontal tank provides a large air reserve to handle high-demand applications and reduce pump cycling, while the two-stage compression design generates high pressures more efficiently and with lower operating temperatures than single-stage units.
With dimensions of 71" × 24" × 49" and a shipping weight of 491 lbs, this is a substantial, stationary compressor built for permanent installation in professional shops. Every unit is 100% factory tested at full pressure and backed by a comprehensive 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, giving you complete confidence in your investment.
