Champion R-Series AirStation Factory-Installed Options and Adders

Champion R-Series AirStation factory-installed options and adders

These are the options Champion builds into an R-Series AirStation package at the Princeton, Illinois factory. Each one is a line item on the order, not a part you bolt on afterward, so it has to be specified when the compressor is ordered. Everything here is priced straight from pages 27 and 28 of the Champion reciprocating price list effective August 15, 2026.

The compressor itself is sold separately: see the Champion AirStation R-Series horizontal simplex air compressor, which covers all thirteen AirStation configurations from the 2 HP HR2-8 up to the 15 HP HR15F-24.

What is already included, so you don't pay twice

An AirStation package is not a bare compressor. Before you add anything from this page, the base price already covers a mounted NEMA 1 control panel with control voltage transformer, a start/stop pressure switch, an ASME coded horizontal receiver, California Code compliant receiver, 1800 RPM motor, intake filter and silencer, enclosed belt guard, loadless starting, an air cooled aftercooler, the mounted X-Series refrigerated dryer with its pre-filter, and a three-way bypass valve around the dryer.

Champion also lists the hour meter, test-off-auto switch and NEMA 1/4 panel mounting as standard, so they carry no adder. The air cooled aftercooler is standard on AirStation where it is a paid option on the non-AirStation R-Series packages.

Reading the Fits Model column

Several of these options are priced per model or per tank size rather than flat across the range, so the second dropdown narrows each option to the machines it is priced for. Pick the row that names your model. If your model is not listed under an option, Champion does not price that option for it.

Three worth calling out:

• TEFC Motor, Single Phase is printed N/A on the HR10-12, HR10-24, HR15F-12 and HR15F-24. Those four are three phase only for a TEFC upgrade.
• Food Grade Oil and the Premium Extended Warranty Kit are priced differently on the two halves of the range. The 2 to 7.5 HP page prices food grade oil at $30 and the warranty kit at $1,050; the 7.5 to 15 HP page prices them at $50 and $2,090.
• Vinyl lined tank pricing does not track tank size cleanly. Champion prints $2,340 for the 80 gallon HR2-8, HR3F-8 and HR7F-8 but $2,880 for the 80 gallon HR5-8, which sits alongside the 120 gallon machines at the same money. Galvanized coating, by contrast, is clean: $2,700 on every 80 gallon, $3,950 on every 120, $6,460 on every 240. We have carried the vinyl figures exactly as printed rather than normalising them, and we have asked Champion to confirm the HR5-8 cell.

NEMA 4 is three line items, not one

The price book is explicit about this and it catches people out. A genuine NEMA 4 package needs all three of the Control Panel Level 2 NEMA 4, the NEMA 4 Electrical and Pressure Switch, and a TEFC motor. Buying the NEMA 4 panel on its own does not give you a NEMA 4 machine. Champion also notes that the hour meter, test-off-auto switch, low oil stop control, electric tank drain and high temp switch all ship with an N4 rating as standard.

Deducts and no-charge items, available at order time only

Three things on these pages cannot be sold as a line item here because they subtract from the price or cost nothing. Ask for them when you place the order and we will apply them:

• Ship Loose Controller deducts $190 on the HR2-8 through HR10-24, and $310 on the HR15F-12 and HR15F-24. You get the controller in a box instead of mounted and wired.
• Less Motor deducts $260 on the HR2-8 and HR3F-8, $310 on the HR3F-12, HR5-8 and HR5-12, $440 on the HR7F-8, HR7F-12, HR7-12 and HR7-24, $480 on the HR10-12 and HR10-24, and $790 on the HR15F-12 and HR15F-24. For customers supplying their own motor.
• California Code receivers are standard at no charge on every AirStation model.

Also available by quote

The mounted dryer is included in the package price and Champion prints no separate list price for it on these pages, so the XCNC11, XCNC25, XCNC32, XCNC42 and XCNC64 are not sold here as standalone units. If you need a replacement or a second dryer, ask us and we will quote it. Our stocked refrigerated dryers are in the refrigerated air dryers collection.

Weights

Champion publishes no shipping weight for any of these options, so every variant on this page carries a zero weight rather than an invented one. Most of them ship installed on the compressor anyway and add nothing to the freight class.

Buying from Warthog

We are an authorized Champion distributor and we order these as factory line items, which means the option is built and tested on your machine at Princeton before it ships, not retrofitted in a warehouse. Pricing here is the current August 2026 list with our distributor discount applied. If you are configuring a machine and are not sure which options you actually need, call us before you order: it is a great deal easier to add a lined tank on the purchase order than after the compressor is on your floor.
