Brother I’m going back to R22 days.

what is the purpose of the clamps

[@sukhchainsingh-tn8te]

Sir very good I want buy vacuum pump please contact

That tee is so you can attach to a single connection on a vacuum pump, or you can extend it like a wye with a third hose and get a bit of extra length. In the manual, there is a bit about the science behind why the system works that you will find interesting. Also, I would not recommend nylog on the o-rings. It is a bit of a dirt magnet, and the o-rings will seal just fine without it.

Thanks for the tips... Part 2 and part 3 posted now.

If i didn't already have the 2 core remover tools. A micron gauge I would say this set up. But alls I need to do is get two 3/8 hoses and make adapters on my vacuum pump and I can have the same results in about the same time.

I just got one myself.....have to use it a few more times and get used to it...loving it....NICE VIDEO BROTHER! VERY NICE TEST!!! BIG DIFFERENCE

Pulling through your manifold will never be as quick as using two short and big hoses. I use two 1/2" appion hoses. One end 3/8 flare and the other is 1/4. Both rated for 20 micron. I just pulled one system with line set and coil for 25 min and when I walked back to the system it was at 94 micron. I use a Tez-8 pump. Once you open the service valves then you connect your gauges, purge and charge as needed. I like these new hoses,, but they are too expensive and my setup cost a lot less. Thanks for the video

25 min is too long and manufacture requires 500 microns and test for 7 min if it holds the vacuum under 800 or 900 microns

I have always used Fieldpiece, never True Blue. I might now!

Ted will using these hoses cause a refrigerator evaporator to ice up ?

[@gpope6204]

Thanks for quick reply Ted

[@Akvan79]

Thinking of getting these for myself I hear a lot of good things about it

[@nealmartinez2706]

Cool video Ted. That kit is impressive.

[@hvacmike1175]

It seem that the advantage is always to the tru blu. I have seen no video where the tru blu goes first. If there is moisture in the test vessel by going first you have more work to do. A better test is 5 or more real world service calls per vacuum set up. This would give realistic numbers. The bigger hoses would always be the better choice simply because it can handle more volume. I know that three foot hoses cut my vacuum time in half on average verses my five foot hoses.

[@TedCookHVAC]

What 2 kinds of hoses are you using to compare ??

[@AngusII]

Ted do you think those hose would be long enough to hookup to a majority of systems in the field with a “traditional” vacuum pump?

[@TedCookHVAC]

No, not in all cases... but there is a kit with 3 hoses as well.

[@gpope6204]

Ted got a question for you. I've been running evacuation with apion mega flow kit for couple years 1/2 inch hoses is the blu evac hoses better?

[@TedCookHVAC]

The kit shown in this video is far superior in my opinion yes.

[@dimitritrotsiuk3897]

Do you like Fieldpiece Vacuum pump?

[@TedCookHVAC]

Yes it works well... not very compact but great for certain jobs.

[@aircooledtx]

Good video, the BIG Blue hoses do fast job. Is it worth time saved,vs cost. Good review,Ted
