Air Vacuum Pump with R134A

Has anyone used this pump to pull vacuum on the 911 air condition system?

People have but i wouldn't. It doesn't get you the depth of vacuum needed and I doubt you can run the compressor long enough to get out all the moisture. Like hours if you have opened the system. Post more info on what you are trying to do, where you are and what car and you might generate some help. We like details. Ken

Yup. HF has an El Cheapo electric vacuum. I'd try that before trying the venturi pump.

Check with AZ or LAPS, they might lend one out.

Yes, even the cheap HF electric one is just barely enough. This vacuum one is useless.

Where are you located ?

I want to clarify that I did not BUY the HF pump. I have the 6cfm Robinaire Cool Tech 2-stage pump. I was just pointing out how useless the venturi pump is.
