BelAire 338VLE4 7.5 HP 80 Gallon Vertical 2-Stage "Elite" Air Compressor
IMPORTANT: Three-Phase Power Required
This is a 460V 3-Phase industrial compressor. Verify you have three-phase electrical service before ordering.
The BelAire 338VLE4 represents the pinnacle of the Elite Series lineup—a professional-grade 7.5 HP two-stage air compressor engineered for demanding workshop and industrial environments. With an 80-gallon vertical tank and the ability to deliver 25.25 CFM at 100 PSI or 22.28 CFM at 175 PSI, this compressor provides the sustained high-pressure airflow required for paint booths, tire shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy-duty automotive repair operations. Built with solid cast iron cylinders, a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler, and backed by a 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, the 338VLE4 delivers the reliability and performance professionals depend on day after day.
Elite Series Engineering
This isn't just another compressor—the BelAire 338VLE4 comes equipped with the complete Elite Series feature package that separates it from standard industrial units. Every Elite compressor includes a magnetic starter for reliable motor control, a low oil level switch that protects the pump from damage, an automatic tank drain to eliminate moisture buildup without manual intervention, and a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler that significantly reduces air temperature and condensation. These aren't optional upgrades—they're standard equipment that ensures maximum uptime and longevity.
The 80-gallon vertical tank design maximizes air storage capacity while minimizing floor space—critical for busy shops where every square foot counts. The vertical configuration provides a smaller footprint at just 39" × 24", yet stands 77 inches tall to deliver substantial reserve capacity. With an ASME-certified tank rated to 175 PSI maximum pressure and equipped with proper safety valves, you get industrial-grade performance with complete peace of mind.
Built for Reliability and Longevity
At the heart of the 338VLE4 is a rugged two-stage pump constructed with solid cast iron cylinders—the gold standard for industrial compressor durability. Cast iron dissipates heat more effectively than aluminum, runs cooler under continuous loads, and delivers decades of reliable service. The pump features an oil level sight glass for easy maintenance monitoring, and the entire unit is 100% factory tested at full pressure before it ever leaves the facility.
The compressor utilizes start-stop pressure switch control for simple, dependable operation, and the motor is protected by a fully enclosed high-flow belt guard that shields moving parts while maintaining proper cooling airflow. The tri-voltage motor design provides installation flexibility, and the robust industrial construction means this compressor will handle years of daily use in the toughest environments.
