- Built-in Fan & Backflow Prevention Valve: Helps maintain smooth operation and prevent contamination.
- User-Friendly Design: Features double oil filling ports, a transparent oil window, and a non-slip base for easy operation.
What is the maximum vacuum this pump can achieve?
The VP500 can reach an ultimate vacuum of 37.5 microns (5 Pa), making it suitable for high-performance applications.
Is the pump compatible with all HVAC hoses?
Yes, the pump features both 1/4" SAE and 1/2" ACME inlet fittings, making it compatible with most common HVAC hoses.
Can this pump handle refrigerants for HVAC work?
Yes, it is compatible with common HVAC refrigerants like R134a, R22, R410a, and R32. However, it is not suitable for ammonia-based or highly corrosive refrigerants.
Can I use this pump for resin degassing and vacuum packing?
Yes, the VP500 is ideal for resin degassing, vacuum packing, and material defoaming. Make sure to use an appropriate chamber to prevent oil contamination.
Can this vacuum pump be used for automotive purposes?
Yes, this vacuum pump is suitable for automotive repairs, especially for HVAC servicing, where vacuuming is required for air conditioning systems.
How do I properly set up the vacuum pump before use?
Follow these steps:
- Place the pump on a stable, non-slip surface.
- Check the oil level through the transparent oil window and refill if necessary.
- Connect the intake hose to the correct port (1/4" flare or 1/2" ACME).
- Plug in the power cord and turn on the pump.
- Monitor the pressure gauge and turn off the pump once the desired vacuum level is reached.
Can this vacuum pump be used continuously?
The VP500 is designed for intermittent use. Avoid running it continuously for more than 15-20 minutes to prevent overheating. Allow sufficient cooling time between uses.
What type of oil should I use, and how often should I change it?
Use high-grade vacuum pump oil for optimal performance. It is recommended to change the oil after each use to prevent dust or contaminants from the previous operation from damaging the pump. Always check the oil level before operation and ensure it remains clean.
How do I properly refill the oil?

- Remove the oil drain plug and drain old oil completely.
- Close the drain plug and add new oil through one of the dual oil filling ports.
- Check the oil level via the oil window—ensure it is within the recommended range.
Does this vacuum pump require maintenance?
Yes, regular maintenance ensures a long service life. Key maintenance steps include:
- Checking and refilling oil regularly.
- Cleaning or replacing the air filter if clogged.
- Keeping the intake and exhaust ports clean.
- Storing the pump in a dry place when not in use.
.
The pump is not reaching full vacuum—what should I check?
If the pump is not achieving the desired vacuum level:
- Ensure all hose connections are secure and leak-free.
- Check if the oil is clean and at the correct level.
- Inspect the intake ports for blockages.
- If the issue persists, replace the oil and try again.
The pump is overheating—what should I do?
If the pump overheats:
- Allow the pump to cool down before restarting.
- Ensure it is not running for longer than 15-20 minutes continuously.
- Check if the built-in fan is working properly.
The pump is making an unusual noise—what could be the cause?
Possible reasons include:
- Low oil levels—refill with the recommended oil.
- Loose fittings—tighten all connections.
