@@ThermalSolutionsHVACR If Milwaukee makes one then there will be other battery makers to sell equivalent batteries with more amp-hours & cheaper. That's a petty good reason in it self.
I do restaurant work also, along with other industrial stuff. It would be great not having to pull a cord across the kitchen. And in factories too with switchgear coolers.
Thanks for showing this vacuum pump in action. As they say. Seeing is believing. Sweet vacuum setup as well. Brings a smile to my face when I see a service tech lug a 10 cfm pump on a service truck that just does 5 ton and down service work . I am all about less is more in the right hands these days AK . My hat goes off to you.
Nice demo of cordless vacuum pump. I can't even believe it took less than 20 minutes with 2cfm pump. The future is here , cordless is here to stay. AK have great weekend buddy.
Update 6/26/2019 - After continuing to try it at the video posters recommendation, I have found that it is quite an incredible little machine. While it is pretty terrible for dehydrating a system (takes 2-3 times longer than a 6 or 8cfm), it is pretty impressive at pulling a vacuum on a new system. I pulled a vacuum on a 2.5ton system in 1:40. Quite impressed. If you have to repair a system that may have gotten a little moisture in it, this pump will end up taking 2-3 hours, but on a new install, less than 5 minutes and you’re set. Bought the navac battery operated pump based on this video... word of advice. Don’t waste your money. I paired the pump with the bluvac hoses. It started pulling down fast as hell. Made it down to about 2000 microns and slowed down. After an hour, it went down to 1760 microns. To get you all the info, it was a new 4 ton Amana condenser and coil, about 25’ 7/8” line set. Same exact set up as him but not the same results. I’m not questioning the posters integrity, but I can definitely say, it didn’t happen here.
Same here, I tried to pull a vacuum with both cores out and with (2) 3/4 inch hoses and ended up pulling down to 5,000 microns after 1/2 hr. Disappointed I was. Anyways, I’m returning the pump and going to try the 4CFM cordless next. I’m hopping to get better results with it.
I really really really appreciate your super hype HVAC montage that you did at the opening to make it look cool. That was truly special lol thank you for that really good laugh because it really did look awesome the way you made it.
I took a chance on this pump, and I’m glad I did! It’s true about needing another battery, 15 to 20 minutes is all you can expect on a single charge. Truly a game changer
Pretty F’n cool. Would’ve come in real handy the other day pulling a vacuum on a RTU on a roof with no courtesy outlets, and all equipment was 460 volt so no widow cord. Had to run 300’ of cord. A game changer for sure.
Definitely has its place in the industry, I could see it being useful on residential split systems, ductless, and some light commercial equipment where there is a lack of power available. Good review and sweet video! 👍
Thanks for showing great reviews and the trutech tools website. Everyone on my team in the company I'm with has joined and I have already started to buy tools from there.
Goes to show you that you don’t need a monster pump for a good evacuation. I’m sure that hose set up helped a bunch as well, next thing on my shopping list. Great video, as always.
I hate getting on a rooftop and then remembering I forgot to run an extension cord and having to go back down find and outlet and do all that bullshit. Buying this now
Mastercool makes a 1.5 CFM 2 stage vacuum pump that will work with either Ridgid or Makita batteries 🔋. Been using it for 2 years or so , and 1/3 or less of the NAVAC cost , Take that NAVAC 😄
Man I would love to be your apprentice! You just sound like a very intelligent man! I could only hope to get a senior with your knowledge to work under! Thanks for the videos
Of course you still need a cord for your recovery unit, certain scenarios apply. Id buy that thing for the weight alone. Remember deep vacuums are done by the oil not the cfm.
I can only pray to be able to operate with the tools you have at your disposal!! So freaking cool man. If this vacuum pump hangs with the big boys. It will be an absolute game changer for sure!!
Looks like it broke 500 microns in about 6 minutes, and the decay time was extended. How long from start to the BluVac gave you a passing evacuation? From what I understand that pump will run for about an hour on a single charge. You could have done easily 4-5 systems like that on one charge with those hoses. That pull down was almost straight down.
Game changer for sure! perfect for a service tech like me who only pulls vacuum on repairs, not installs like an installer everyday. I’m picturing not hauling a pump up a ladder to a roof! strap that little guy to the back of my tech pac
That's pretty damn cool. I like the way it sounds. I just wish the major tool manufacturers made them (dewalt Milwaukee ect) being that none of us carry this particular brand on our trucks
Thanks for the video, You guys seem to get far more products compared to us in the UK! We have had the Makita pump for a while but I have been unsure about buying it. It's single stage and they are not entirely clear on the CFM but i think it converts to about 1.75. I guess using the big hose kit would be the game changer for a small pump as you suggested.
Love the videos! Nice to see a fellow HAVAC tech that knows his shit! Great job and lm more than likely purchasing this vacuum pump as soon as its available. Found it online but no prices listed
@@jamesbowmanhvac2149 beg to differ, the Makita DVP180 goes down to 20 Pascals (150 microns), have family in Europe and Central America that use it for ductless split systems. It may be used for automotive because of low flow, however, it is marketed as an HVAC vacuum pump. Would have picked one up when I was there, but Makita is not the battery platform I'm using.
I said 100 microns you corrected me to 150 microns. The US uses much tighter standards then many other places around the world. Here in the US we just try to do things better and using a single stage pump just won’t cut it. Particularly if your getting into low or med temp stuff. After you add in hoses and connections the ability of a single stage pump to pull a deep enough vacuum becomes slim. Why use a low quality pump and take a chance on the job it will do when you can spend a few more dollars and get something better?
Also the US is the largest market in the world. If Makita thought they could actually be successful here they would have brought It here already. NAVAC launched this pump in the US first so must be comfortable with the quality and ability to do the job here.
JamesBowmanHVAC mastercool has one on eBay that uses kamiya style batteries... 1.5cfm down to like 20 microns 300 something bucks or about 200 bucks I’d you buy the tool only
Looks perfect for ductless and small split system jobs, i've been debating for a while buying a smaller vac pump for these types of jobs. Looks like i might have to make the jump.
I would like to try it before purchasing it, extreme cold & heat operations would be my concern, I wish the manufacturer gives the choice of battery or 120 volts. I am assuming this manufacturer is overseas, because most contractors here either uses Milwaukee or DeWalt, we really don’t want a cordless tool with different brand battery. If the manufacture did these 2 things they probably sell a lot them, I can see Technicians carry this as well as the standard vacuum pump. For me I prefer tools to be small, that is one reason I like the Refco 5 cfm Vacuum Pump. Good video
Yes, I would certainly never consider this to be my only vacuum pump, but a perfect compliment in addition to another pump (probably 8 cfm-ish) for many applications. Thanks for watching man!
Nice video. I got to admit, I was surprised. I can see a use for it. For me personally, I can't use it. For one, I do work on large industrial plants, and two, I live in Norway. It gets cold here in the winter, and the battery would be flat everytime I visit a customer. I already have enough of those problems with other tools. I could probably have use for it for some of the smaller things I work with, like changing filters, but it would mean that some tools would have to go, as space is already an issue.
Legitimate concerns for sure! It’s so cool to hear from people watching these videos from around the world. Thanks so much for watching, would love to travel out there some day!
I wonder what cfm's you get out of any pump with regular hoses. I also wonder how this pump would do with the 1/2 x 6' appion hoses I have. Looks like a great fun product
It will perform better the bigger the hoses you use. 1/2” x 6’ hoses will perform better then 1/4” but not as good as the tru blu hoses. Nothing currently in our industry will out perform tru blu hoses.
Quick question, if it is laying on its side, does it leak oil like a regular vacuum pump? The Pelican style case I use for my evacuation setup has enough room for this thing, but it would have to be able to lay on its side without leaking oil.
Love it. Question. Does your core extraction valve seem to hold atm pressure. So when you close it a tiny amount is released and that's why you getting the spike? My yellow jacket ones do so as I'm pulling down around 500 micron I open and close rapidly to minimize that on final test.
Could you give me the info for the vacuum hose kit you are using. I currently use the core removal tool and the apion gauge. But I'm using my manifold hoses.
I tell my customers replace the line set or get someone else. The reason Is txv and compressor failure in the years after . I have almost 40 years experience. I do love the vacuum pump.
@@AKHVAC I didn't know that you were not the owner . I have watched a few of your videos and I was impressed with your knowledge. Sorry for the confusion and believe me whem I started my business 38 years ago with 2 years of hvac college and 3 years feild experience I didn't know half of what you do . Your a blessing to the industry keep up the good work.
What is your procedure when you reach optimal microns in regards to closing valves and releasing charge? The reason i ask is you have the micron gauge on the side if the core tool. Do you open valves to release refrigerant with micron gauge on? I put a ball valve there but im trying to reduce fittings where i can.
Yes, the micron gauges I use are rated for high pressure. I don’t take my micron gauge until the equipments vacuum is broken with the refrigerant charge.
I believe it seeing your vaccum set up, i bet you purged and cleaned the lines. Thats very exciting. I want a 8cfm cordless one that beats the appion tez 8. Hahaha But im commercial, cant see this pumping down 20 heads and 1000 feet of lineset for a vrf system.
Nicholas Simpson I’d use the 12 cfm pump of theirs that I used on a 2500 ton centrifugal chiller a few weeks ago. That would easily handle a VRF system👍. Battery pump, not so much.
@@AKHVAC sounds freaking epic. Whats a good pump for the price in your opinion. I have had luck with the appion tez 8 , heard some guys using the JB 10 cfm. Never heard of a 12 cfm pump. Id like to look it up. How do i find it
Looks promising. Just out of curiosity how cold was it when you did that test. I can see the weather in the north possibly being the Achilles heel for something like this.
Proof in the puddin that it’s all about the hoses. It would however be entertaining to see that pump pull through valve cores 1/4” hoses and a manifold to prove the point. 2cfm pump for the win.
What is that quick measure app and what vacume guage do you need to use it? Love the videos man I do residential HVAC about 2 hours from you. Was in Louisville this past weekend to check out the mega cavern Christmas lights lol
Cool that makes the job easier , do you know if the measure quick app work with the Fieldpiece wireless probes yet thanks bro. Great video to as always peace
I am currently in a 5 month HVAC course, once finished would it be hard for me to find a job without any experience whatsoever. And should I start applying now or wait till I’m done with school ? Any advice would be helpful thank you.
Julian Pardenilla thank you man, I graduate in 2 months and plan to moving to Greensboro NC. So I hope I land a job soon enough so I won’t have to struggle too much.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 WOW Got to get one, I’m curious if the pricing is less than the currently available battery powered Navac’s . That would be ideal for a good bit of refrigeration work, reach in ‘s and walk in’s.
It another term for when you reach your desired vacuum level, and valve off the vacuum pump. The “decay” test the rate that the microns rise back up. Different rates indicate different things, like a leak, presence of moisture or a tight system.
Yes cool tool gamer changer Now we can do true triple evacuation like manufacture wants. Less runtime on tools means that they will last longer!! What is suggested cost? Next year Thanks for awsome videos
Milwaukee Tools needs to make a cordless vacuum pump!
Definitely!
Lmfao... Why does Milwaukee have to make one? Because of their logo and bright red color ?
@@ThermalSolutionsHVACR No. Obviously because many of us already have Milwaukee batteries.

This is the first/only battery op pump from NAVAC, and it will be at a 499 price point👍
Where did you purchase this? Can’t find on the market yet!? !

And here is a “waitlist” link as well www.bit.ly/WAITINGON2
Thanx
am sorry to bother can u please tell me what is the decay test am not too familiar with it ... great video as always
It another term for when you reach your desired vacuum level, and valve off the vacuum pump. The “decay” test the rate that the microns rise back up. Different rates indicate different things, like a leak, presence of moisture or a tight system.
AK HVAC thank you for the explanation
How long ITS the battery lífe???
About an hour
Did I miss it In The video, or did you not throw out a projected price point? Super curious about it
juan chavez 499👍
Not bad at all! Thanks for the vid 😎
That is perfect for appliance repair
Fun size.
I'm sure there is market for it.... just not in my truck.
I carry two pumps... 7 CFM and 10CFM.
Cool idea just not in the industrial market.
Quick question. Does height affect working in the HVAC industry?
So if the battery goes dead do you lose vacuum??!!
No sir, it has a check valve for that scenario👍
Wow.. speechless
Yes cool tool gamer changer
Now we can do true triple evacuation like manufacture wants.
Less runtime on tools means that they will last longer!!
What is suggested cost? Next year
Thanks for awsome videos
499👍
