VTG VOGTEN 4.5 CFM AC Vacuum Pump & Gauge Set — 1/3 HP Single-Stage Kit, R134a/R410a Ready

VTG VOGTEN 4.5 CFM AC Vacuum Pump and Gauge Set is a complete, portable HVAC toolkit that evacuates refrigerant lines and measures system pressures for professional-quality A/C maintenance.

This all-in-one kit pairs a 1/3 HP single-stage vacuum pump with a three-way manifold gauge, heavy-duty hoses, adapters and service tools, all stored in a reinforced trifold case. Designed for HVAC technicians and automotive technicians alike, the set balances power, durability and portability so you can pull deep vacuums, check pressures and top systems with common refrigerants like R134a and R410a.

How quickly and effectively does the pump remove air and moisture?

The pump delivers 4.5 CFM (0.13 m³/min) flow from a 1/3 HP motor, allowing rapid evacuation of small to medium systems. Its single-stage design is built for consistent performance and the aluminum-alloy housing helps manage heat and resist corrosion during repeated jobs.

• 4.5 CFM flow rate for efficient evacuation of lines and mini-splits
• Single-stage pump suitable for most residential and auto A/C tasks
• Aluminum alloy casing dissipates heat and resists chemical wear
• Comes pre-filled with vacuum oil for immediate use

What tools and adapters are included for different refrigerants and fittings?

The kit ships with a three-way manifold gauge, three color-coded 5-foot rubber hoses, two R410a adapters, two R134a can taps (puncture-style and self-sealing) and quick couplers for high and low ports. These accessories let you connect to multiple service ports and common refrigerant cans without hunting for extra fittings.

• Manifold gauge reads in °F and psi for fast diagnostics
• Red, blue and yellow 5 ft hoses rated to 600 psi working pressure
• R410a adapters and R134a can taps included for compatibility
• Low- and high-pressure quick couplers simplify hookups

How durable and portable is the set for fieldwork?

Everything nests neatly into a thickened trifold storage case that protects components during transport and storage. Hoses and metal parts are specified for high working pressures and burst resistance, while the pump’s build emphasizes longevity in workshop and jobsite environments.

• Reinforced trifold case organizes and shields tools on the move
• Hoses rated 600 psi working, 3000 psi burst pressure for safety
• Manifold has a top hanging hook to free hands while testing
• Compact pump footprint for easy carrying and storage

Which systems and refrigerants is the kit best suited for?

The components are versatile enough for HVAC, mini-split, and automotive A/C service work and handle a range of refrigerants commonly used in residential and auto systems. While not a substitute for specialized industrial rigs, it covers the needs of technicians doing routine evacuations, leak testing and refrigerant charging at the jobsite.

• Compatible with R134a, R12, R22, R502 and service adapters for R410a
• Useful for mini-splits, residential HVAC units and vehicle A/C systems
• Includes tools for valve core changes and can tapping
• Manifold gauge supports direct reading in multiple units

Who is this for: The VTG VOGTEN 4.5 CFM AC Vacuum Pump and Gauge Set is aimed at HVAC installers, mobile A/C technicians and skilled DIYers who require a portable, comprehensive service kit. If you perform evacuations, pressure diagnostics and occasional refrigerant charging on residential systems, mini-splits or automotive A/C, this set gives the fittings, measurement tools and pump capacity to handle common service tasks without needing multiple separate purchases.
