Javac VBD1622 Bulldog A2L/A3 Spark Proof 2-Stage Vacuum Pump

The Javac Bulldog VBD1622 is a professional spark proof, 2-stage oil-sealed vacuum pump approved for use with A2L mildly flammable and A3 highly flammable refrigerants. Designed and built in the UK by Javac (Aspen Pumps Group), it combines a robust industrial motor with premium safety features — making it the go-to choice for engineers working with next-generation refrigerants including R32, R290, R1234yf, and R600a.

⚠️ A3 refrigerants: For use on A3 refrigerants, scan the QR code on the pump to read the A3 safety instructions. Do not use on A3 refrigerants unless fully qualified.

Key Features & Benefits

• Spark proof design – 5m hard-wired 240V glanded cable; eliminates ignition risk with flammable refrigerants
• Isolation solenoid valve – automatically isolates the pump from the system, preventing oil back-flow and refrigerant contamination
• Dual oil mist filters – anti-oil demister prevents oil mist discharge during operation
• Unique tri-connector – three intake fittings (1/4", 5/16", 3/8" SAE) covering a broad range of applications
• Two-stage oil-sealed design – achieves 15 micron ultimate vacuum
