The Champion CH7 is the small end of the Champion oil/water separator range, designed for compressed air systems with a maximum capacity of 50 CFM. It takes the oily condensate drained from a single small compressor, receiver and dryer, holds the lubricant, and lets treated water pass to a sanitary drain instead of sending a bucket of oily water down it.
Why a 5 or 10 HP Shop Still Needs One
The rule that makes condensate a problem is not about compressor size, it is about chemistry. Every compressor carries lubricant over into the condensate, and every municipal pretreatment ordinance sets a limit on hydrocarbon in what goes to the sewer. A small shop discharging a few gallons a week of oily condensate is in the same legal position as a plant discharging hundreds, and the cheapest way out of it is a separator sized for the equipment you actually run. Drumming condensate and paying a hauler costs more in a year than a CH7 costs once.
Key Features
- Sized for systems up to 50 CFM, which covers most single 5, 10 and 15 HP installations.
- Compact footprint that fits in a crowded corner beside the compressor rather than needing its own floor space.
- No electricity and no compressed air consumed. Nothing to wire, nothing to meter and nothing to leak.
- Serviced once a year with a single CH7-KIT annual media kit rather than a stage-by-stage element change.
- Made in the USA, backed by the Champion factory warranty.

Ideal Applications
Small machine and fabrication shops, automotive and motorcycle service bays, dental offices and laboratories, cabinet and millwork shops, sign shops, tire shops, and any single-compressor facility facing a wastewater inspection. Feed it from a zero air loss demand drain rather than an open petcock so that it sees condensate instead of blowdown air.
Service and Media Replacement
The CH7 is serviced once a year with the CH7-KIT annual maintenance kit. Order the kit with the unit if you want the first year covered on one purchase order, and keep the interval on the same calendar entry as your compressor's annual service so it does not get missed.
Why Buy from Air Compressor Store
Air Compressor Store is an authorized Champion Pneumatic distributor. Every CH7 ships with the full factory warranty, and our certified compressed air engineers will confirm that 50 CFM genuinely covers your system before you order. If your demand has grown past the CH7, we will say so and point you at the right size rather than sell you a unit that will be undersized on day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if 50 CFM is enough?
Add up the rated delivery of every compressor whose condensate reaches the unit. A single 10 HP rotary screw is typically in the 35 to 45 CFM range, so it fits. Two of them do not. If you are close to the limit, size up.
Does it need power?
No. There is nothing to wire and nothing to plug in.
How often does it need service?
Once a year, with the CH7-KIT. A shop with heavy carryover or very humid ambient conditions may want to check its discharge sooner.
Can I legally drain the treated water?
A properly sized and maintained separator is the standard way facilities meet a municipal pretreatment limit, but the limit itself is set locally. Check your permit and keep a record of your service dates.
What ships with it?
The CH7 unit. The annual media kit is a separate part number, CH7-KIT, and we stock it.
