Hercules 20v vacuum pump real world test

[@rodneythornhill9526]

Got mine when they first came out. The store didn't even have a place for it on the shelves yet . I really like mine.

[@MrHVACR]

@@rodneythornhill9526 awesome!! I love how compact and yet so good it is. Time will tell how it holds up.

[@NancyVanegasHVAC]

Finally, the proper way to demonstrate what the Hercules pump can do without a manifold ! …Awesome 👍🏽

[@MrHVACR]

Thank you. I have never used a manifold to vacuum a system. I don’t even owned one.

[@AaronPowellvox]

I wish they had this out when I bought my Navac one.

[@MrHVACR]

I bet. I wanted the naval too but couldn’t justify spending over 600 bucks. Now this one I could do

[@DJV94022]

The navac is already 600 ..and thats not including a true blue and lets say another core remover which those run from 60-100 new

[@Ricky-_-H]

Can the Hercules vacuum pump be use in residential houses in general with the ac unit

[@MrHVACR]

@@Ricky-_-H of course you can. This video was from a 2 ton install we did. I also used it on small refrigeration units,and on some roof tops up to 10 ton commercial systems.

I like mine so far , damn little rough on brazing on suction line ,

[@ericswenson8467]

Did the speed of the pump change or just the speed of the video?

[@MrHVACR]

@@ericswenson8467 I had to speed up the video. The total time of the vacuum was about 15 mins after setting up the hose and vcrt. I love this vacuum pump. It’s tiny but mighty. lol

What Ton is the condenser

[@MrHVACR]

2.5 ton matched system with roughly 20-30 ft line set.

[@betomedina2485]

How do you think it’ll do on a 4 ton

[@MrHVACR]

@@betomedina2485 I did a 5 ton the day before with a maybe 50ft line set it took about 40-45 to pull to 700 microns. My brother also did a 7.5 ton package unit and it took him 1 or so. It’s impressive what that little pump can accomplish

[@MrHVACR]

@@betomedina2485it took me about 15 mins on this one also because I was using the trublue hoses which are 1/2 diameter and removing the valve cores. No manifold at all.

[@DJV94022]

​​@@betomedina2485just did a 4ton lennox today on new construction house (start up) with 30 ft lineset it the vacuum to 4xx microns in 5 mins with trublue hose 😊
