You can get inexpensive venturi (need an air compressor to operate) vacuum pumps made for AC work from Harbor Freight. The one I have is just like the first link but is red and had a R12 fitting on it. The vacuum fitting is 1/8-NPT on the other side. | You can get inexpensive venturi (need an air compressor to operate) vacuum pumps made for AC work from Harbor Freight.

I used an old spaghetti sauce jar, drilled some holes in the lid and put some brass fittings in it. I needed to use washers to get a tight seal. | I used an old spaghetti sauce jar, drilled some holes in the lid and put some brass fittings in it. I needed to use washers to get a tight seal. | ||

I used 3 male 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fittings, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fitting, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8-NPT coupler, and 1 female 1/4-NPT 90° fitting. I also put a ball valve on the pressure input side. The valve is needed to control the vacuum. | I used 3 male 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fittings, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8 barb fitting, 1 female 1/4-NPT x 1/8-NPT coupler, and 1 female 1/4-NPT 90° fitting.
