bullet1/2" male flare pump intake. Large hose suggested for maximum pull down.  Tethered cap stays with unit.
bullet1/4" male flare port for hook-up of micron gauge.
bulletHeavy duty high torque motor for cold starting weather.
bulletGas ballast valve helps remove moisture and other condensable vapors that have been drawn into the pump as a result of evacuation. Opening the ballast allows fresh air to enter the second stage and keeps vapors from combining with the oil. Vapors escape harmlessly though the exhaust valve. If combined with oil, vapors can turn the oil milky white and lower pump performance below specifications.
bulletLonger heat dissipation fins for a cooler running unit.
bulletHigh resiliency foot pads for added stability and skid resistance.
bulletHeavy duty metal handle, permanently attached to pump body. Built-in hook hole.
bulletWide-mouth oil reservoir for easier, neater filing. Also doubles as pump exhaust.
bulletWide-view sigh glass for easier monitoring of oil level.
bulletVacuum gauge shows evacuation progress down to 10" range, so you'll know when to turn on electronic gauge for more precise reading.
bulletOil drain valve for quick draining and convenient access.
