BelAire QP318VE 5HP 80G QP Vertical Elec Air Compressor
BelAire QP318VE 5HP 80 Gallon Quiet Performance Vertical Electric Air Compressor
The BelAire QP318VE is a premium 5 HP single phase piston air compressor engineered for professionals who demand both power and quiet operation. Featuring a high-strength sound dampening enclosure that reduces noise to just 66 dBA, this compressor delivers exceptional performance without disrupting your workspace. Built with an 80-gallon vertical ASME/CRN certified tank, the QP318VE provides ample air storage for continuous operation of multiple tools, making it ideal for automotive shops, fabrication facilities, and serious hobbyist garages.
Every BelAire QP318VE comes fully equipped with professional-grade features designed for reliability and ease of use. The magnetic starter ensures smooth, consistent starts that protect your electrical system, while the low oil level switch and high temperature shut down provide automatic protection against operator error and extreme conditions. A triple-pass pump mounted aftercooler removes moisture and heat from compressed air, extending tool life and improving air quality. The automatic tank drain eliminates daily maintenance hassles, and heavy-duty vibration isolator pads reduce stress on the unit and your floor.
Engineered with a cast iron cylinder for maximum durability and heat dissipation, the QP318VE is built to last decades in demanding commercial environments. A high-flow cooling fan ensures superior thermal management even during extended run cycles. Delivering 18.5 ACFM at 100 PSI and 16.6 ACFM at 175 PSI, this compressor provides the air volume needed for spray guns, impact wrenches, sanders, lifts, and more. Operating on standard 208-230V single phase power, it installs easily in most facilities without special electrical requirements.
As with all BelAire air compressors, the QP318VE is 100% factory tested at full pressure before it leaves the facility, ensuring flawless performance from day one. BelAire backs this investment with the best warranty in the business, giving you complete peace of mind for years of reliable operation.
