Quick Connect from HF Vacuum to CJ Chamber

[MartinPens]

Some have been asking what hookups to use from the vacuum to the Cactus Juice chamber.

I have the HF vacuum (I have THIS one) and I took it to Lowe's and found these fittings in the compressor isle. I know nothing about them, but they fit. Hope the photos help someone.

A picture is worth a 1,000 words. Thanks

Martin,

You really should reverse the fittings and place the male fitting on your pump and the female fitting on your vacuum hose. The female fitting is sealed off when the male fitting it not installed and if you do not have the hose hooked up and accidentally turn on the vac pump, you will build a vacuum that you can't release without inserting the hose.

OK, will do. Thanks for the heads up.

If your machine came with oil, it seems - from an earlier post from Curtis - that is will last quite a long time. You might PM Curtis or ask in the forum and see what you get in return. I found some at an appliance repair store!

Any HVAC supply house will have vacuum pump oil since HVAC technicians have to change theirs very regularly.
