VIVOHOME A2L 1/3 HP 5 CFM Vacuum Pump & 3-Way Manifold Gauge Set — sparkless, A2L-safe kit

VIVOHOME A2L 1/3 HP 5 CFM single-stage vacuum pump and 3-way manifold gauge set is a portable, sparkless evacuation kit engineered for safe and fast HVAC and automotive A/C evacuation with A2L refrigerants. This complete service kit combines a 5 CFM single-stage vacuum pump with a precision 3-way manifold gauge, hoses, quick couplers and adapters so you can evacuate, test and recharge small to mid-size refrigeration and A/C systems. The pump’s sparkless motor and ignition-proof switch are designed for compatibility with lower-flammability A2L refrigerants such as R32, R1234yf and R454B, while the dual-core gauges offer multi-refrigerant scales for straightforward diagnostics.

How quickly and deeply will this pump evacuate a system?

The 1/3 HP motor runs at 1728 r/min and delivers 5 CFM airflow to remove air and moisture efficiently. Under normal service conditions the pump can reach an ultimate vacuum down to 15 microns (≈2 Pa), enabling dependable dehydration of HVAC and refrigeration lines.

• Motor power: 1/3 HP at 1728 r/min for steady suction
• Displacement: 5 CFM for rapid evacuation
• Ultimate vacuum: 15 microns (≈2 Pa) for deep dehydration
• Dual inlet ports (1/2" ACME and 1/4" SAE) for broad system compatibility

Is the pump safe to use with A2L refrigerants like R32 and R1234yf?

This pump is built with sparkless design elements and an ignition-proof switch to reduce ignition risk when working with lower-flammability A2L refrigerants. While equipment design reduces ignition sources, always follow refrigerant handling safety rules and local regulations when servicing systems.

• Sparkless motor and ignition-proof switch for reduced ignition risk
• Supports R32, R1234yf, R454B and other A2L refrigerants
• Stainless-steel filter and oil mist exhaust filter minimize contamination
• Motor current protection prevents overheating during extended use

What diagnostic and service tools are included in the kit?

The 3-way manifold features dual gauge cores with ±1.6% accuracy and five refrigerant scales per dial, making pressure checks and charging straightforward. The kit also contains color-coded hoses with lock valves, quick couplers for R134a and R1234yf, self-sealing can taps and adapters so you have everything needed for most service tasks.

• 3-way manifold with dual cores and ±1.6% accuracy
• Gauges scaled for R134a, R410A, R32, R1234yf and R454B
• Three color-coded hoses with lock valves for secure connections
• R134a & R1234yf quick couplers, self-sealing can taps and adapters

How portable and serviceable is the pump for field work?

Weighing about 16.5 lb and equipped with an ergonomic top handle and anti-slip base, the pump is easy to carry between jobs. Practical maintenance features like a visible oil sight window, bottom drain port and die-cast aluminum housing keep routine checks and oil changes simple and reduce the chance of leaks.

• Lightweight 16.5 lb design with ergonomic handle
• Visible oil window for quick fluid checks
• Bottom drain port simplifies oil changes
• Die-cast aluminum housing reduces leak paths and adds durability

Who is this for: HVAC technicians, refrigeration specialists and advanced DIYers who service small- to medium-sized air conditioning and refrigeration systems and need a compact, A2L-compatible evacuation solution. It’s especially suited for shops and field technicians who require fast evacuation, multi-refrigerant diagnostics and a full set of service accessories in one portable kit. Always observe proper refrigerant safety procedures and local codes when using this equipment.
