Milwaukee M 18 Vacuum Pump

[@irvingdurshpek]

If there’s one thing he’s proving here for sure is that hose size matters! A 5 cfm can go along way with the right hose. I have the same pump with 2 Navac 3/4 evacuation hoses I’ve still yet to try. I used to be the pull vac through manifold time of guy cause that’s now I was taught but I’ve come along way. Can’t wait to try my setup. Might make a video.

That's great man. I'd love to have one to just save myself the hassle of finding a plug or asking where to connect, bring out extension cords and the time of coiling everything back up after a oily, messy job. I work on mostly industrial equipment though. Regardless 5CFM should be sufficient if properly connected like you show. Congrats on the purchase!

[@andystieg6339]

Probably the biggest reason that's vac-ing down so quick is the 3/8 vac hose

[@pablogaviria9265]

I think he’s using the Blu-Vac 3/4” Hoses

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

@andystieg6339 yes, BluVac hose and core removal tool.

You just gotta know how to combo it Big hose+ tiny pump Big pump + tiny hose (no valves in hoses and king valve cores out) Big pump+ big hose its just crazy good

[@Bill-jq2eo]

If you use the manifold/micron gauge on just the pump, how deep of a vacuum can it pull without the system load. I see the official mark is 25 micron, but my actual measurement on milwaukee M18 Fuel 5 CFM cannot reach below 300.

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

@Bill-jq2eo You'll need a lot of batteries with your current setup. With BluVac and core removal tools, I get below 50 microns all day long. Best so far is 6.6 microns.

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

if your using manifold with a built-in micron gauge and standard refrigeration hoses, the hoses are not vacuum rated. I have pulled vacuum below the manufacture's specs of 25 microns. The best record I've done was 6.6 microns.

People need to under the combos of okay and fast setups You just gotta know how to combo it Big hose+ tiny pump Big pump + tiny hoses with no valves Big pump+ big hose its just crazy good

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

Big pumps + tiny hose + no valve core removal = Big problems.

[@michaelryan6300]

What vacuum hose setup are you running with the milwaukee vacuum pump? Thinking about running the same setup as that hose looks hefty and good quality

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

"Bluvac" vacuum hose will up your game. You can find them at TrueTechTools.com

[@michaelryan6300]

@@americantemperaturecontrol7852 are they in fact the 3/4” internal diameter hoses?

Also how are you liking the Milwaukee vacuum pump after having it for a little while?

Can it be used for a car A/C as well?

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

I don't see why not.

I don't see why not.

I love mine super fast compared to my old dog of a pump

[@lunytoo]

That’s crazy

[@dustincole2625]

On your next video I want some sort of race type commentary.

[@Rueuhy]

Milwaukee sucks! (LOL) I'm really thinking about getting one of these since I found out I have Milwaukee batteries with me all the time. Who knew? With a check valve to boot!! I do have one question and I'm really too lazy to go look at their website - Is this vacuum pump explosion proof? Is it compatible with the new required refrigerants coming or already here? Asking for a friend.

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

Recovery machine for refrigerant, vacuum pump for impurities, moisture removal.

[@Rueuhy]

@@americantemperaturecontrol7852 The new refrigerants that are classified as explosive require the recovery machine and vacuum pump to be rated for working on systems that contain those refrigerants like A2L and A3 class refrigerants. I understand the difference between the two types of equipment but thanks anyway.

[@ofrddriftr]

In theory it should be because of the age, but a Vac pump I bought a couple of years ago I need to replace if I need to vac any A2L systems, we all know the potential for refrigerant to stay in the system and I do not want to test my luck. I would look on the packaging and the pump for it to list it.

[@americantemperaturecontrol7852]

Milwaukee A2L System Compatible: Yes
