MILWAUKEE® Eliminates the Hassles of Cords and Delivers Instant Power with New M18 FUEL™ Vacuum Pump

MILWAUKEE® brings cordless innovation to the HVAC Technician with yet another industry-focused solution that increases productivity.

Delivering the same performance and speed as corded vacuum pumps, providing instant power, no hassle looking for power sockets and extension cords.

Providing instant power, the cordless vacuum pump improves productivity throughout the evacuation process.

The M18 FUEL* Vacuum Pump 5 CFM, powered by M18 REDLITHIUM batteries, delivers the run time and speed needed while minimising the time and effort of setting up and tearing down, allowing users to get their work done and move onto the next job.

Vacuum pumps are critical installation tools for residential and light commercial technicians during the evacuation stage of HVAC repairs and installs. Various hose configurations can be used to connect to a system to evacuate, and often technicians include a manifold in the connection setup. The M18 FUEL Vacuum Pump 5 CFM is designed with an industry-first Manifold Mode to maximise speed and run time, providing up to 90 minutes of run time per charge on one M18 HIGH OUTPUT 8.0 Ah battery. For evacuations utilising direct connections and large ½” hoses, Default Mode provides up to 60 minutes of run time on one M18 HIGH OUTPUT 8.0 Ah battery. For use in residential and light commercial applications, the vacuum pump’s ½”, ⅜”, and ¼” ports deliver fast evacuations, especially when used with large hoses.

Featuring a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor that allows for evacuations as fast as corded during system pulldowns, the M18 FUEL Vacuum Pump harnesses REDLINK PLUS Intelligence to ensure maximum performance and protection from overload. Engineered for productivity, MILWAUKEE®’s vacuum pump solves corded frustrations by providing instant power while also minimising the time and effort to setup and tear down.

The M18 FUEL Vacuum Pump is thoughtfully designed for the way HVAC technicians work, featuring an isolation ball valve to isolate the pump for easy battery changes, an internal check valve designed to protect the system vacuum when the pump is not running, and gas ballast valve which extends oil life and decreases the frequency of oil changes. In addition, a large oil port and angled oil drain allow for easy oil changes without a funnel. For the professional looking to extend the use of the pump long term, the pump was designed with easily replaceable parts for quick in-field repairs.

 

MILWAUKEE® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL Vacuum Pump is fully compatible with the entire M18 range, now offering more than 255 power tool solutions.

 

*M18 FUEL is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering outstanding performance, all M18 FUEL products feature three MILWAUKEE®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence hardware and software—that deliver outstanding power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUELtools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
