Refrigerant System Evacuation

  1. Connect 199-00067  or 300-ROB34288  to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves following the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
  2. Evacuate the system until the low-pressure gauge reads at least 99.4 kPa (29.5 in-Hg) of vacuum and as close to 101.1 kPa (30 in-Hg) as possible. Continue to operate the Vacuum Pump for a minimum of 45 minutes.
  3. Turn OFF the vacuum pump. Observe the low-pressure gauge for 5 minutes to make sure that the system vacuum is held.
