Robinair 14777 Compact Electronic Thermistor Vacuum Gauge

Robinair 14777 Compact Electronic Thermistor Vacuum Gauge

Robinair’s 14777 electronic vacuum gauge is just 2-1/2″ x 3″ in size, but accurate enough to clearly indicate when the system is free from moisture and ready for recharging. Specifically designed for use with a high vacuum pump, the 14777 measures to 10 microns.

The easy-to-read LCD automatically registers smaller numeric segments as system pulls down, and a 6′ long lead and magnetic mounting strip allows for convenient positioning.

Reading Vacuum Tips

When reading vacuum, remember that the location of the vacuum gauge tube will affect the reading. The closer the gauge is to the vacuum pump, the lower the reading will be. Conversely, if you take the reading at a line far away from the pump, the reading will be on the high side.

The way to get the most reliable reading is to isolate the vacuum pump using a vacuum valve assembly. Allow the pressure to equalize throughout the system, then take a final reading.

A reading that’s too high is a good indication of moisture in the system; continuing to evacuate will likely pull the system into a deeper vacuum. If the pressure will not equalize, you probably have a leak, which should be repaired.
