BelAire 318HN 80G H 2-Stage 5hp Air Compressor
The BelAire 318HN is a robust 5 HP, two-stage, single-phase electric reciprocating air compressor built to deliver reliable, high-performance compressed air for professional workshops, manufacturing facilities, and demanding industrial applications. Featuring an 80-gallon horizontal ASME code tank, this compressor provides exceptional air storage capacity and consistent output, delivering 18.50 CFM at 100 PSI and 16.60 CFM at 175 PSI. With solid cast iron cylinders, a fully enclosed high-flow belt guard, and 208-230 volt single-phase power, the 318HN combines durability, safety, and convenience in one complete package. No magnetic starter required—this compressor comes complete with everything you need to optimize your work and minimize downtime right out of the box.
Industrial-Grade Performance, Single-Phase Convenience
Engineered for serious work environments, the BelAire 318HN bridges the gap between light-duty compressors and heavy industrial three-phase units. Powered by a 5 HP single-phase motor (208-230V), this compressor delivers powerful two-stage compression without requiring costly three-phase electrical infrastructure. The two-stage design compresses air more efficiently, reducing heat buildup and extending component life while maximizing air output. With a maximum pressure of 175 PSI, the 318HN provides the high-pressure air needed for pneumatic tools, paint spraying, sandblasting, and automated equipment.
The 80-gallon horizontal tank configuration offers excellent air reserve capacity, reducing motor cycling and ensuring consistent pressure delivery even during high-demand tasks. Built to ASME code standards and equipped with ASME safety valves, this tank is designed and tested to meet rigorous safety requirements. Every BelAire 318HN is 100% factory tested at full pressure before it leaves the facility, ensuring quality and reliability from day one.
Built Tough with Premium Components
Durability is at the heart of the 318HN's design. The compressor pump features solid cast iron cylinders, known for superior heat dissipation, longevity, and resistance to wear compared to aluminum alternatives. Cast iron construction ensures the pump can handle continuous duty cycles and extreme operating conditions year after year. The oil level sight glass allows for easy lubrication monitoring, helping you maintain optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
Safety and ease of use are further enhanced by the fully enclosed high-flow belt guard, which protects operators from moving parts while maintaining excellent airflow for cooling. The start-stop pressure switch control provides automatic, reliable operation, turning the motor on and off based on tank pressure to maintain consistent air supply without manual intervention. With dimensions of 71" x 24" x 49" and a shipping weight of 468 lbs, this compressor is substantial yet manageable for permanent or semi-permanent installation in your workspace.
