the hilmor Vacuum Pump makes oil evacuation easy with innovative design improvements like a sloped and channeled front housing that creates a natural drain flow, oversized fill port for pour new oil quickly, and two durable hoist points that allow the pump to be transported efficiently using the hilmor HVAC/R Carrying Strap (sold separately). This reliable pump also features an oversized sight glass to identify oil level and detect contamination clearly and a leak-proof blank-off valve that isolates the pump for accurate vacuum readings and easy oil changes without losing a vacuum.
