FJC 6014 Vacuum Pump Adapter , yellow

Functions as it should...

The product is great, durable built, fits well, and works as expected.But OMG, I bought it for $4 in Jan 2017, and in Aug 2022, it's $10+. Unbelievable!I guess it's too pricey now, but you have to buy it if it's the only option.

I find it beyond stupid for this manufacture to sell a vacuum pump while providing the directions manual (which is nice) but within directions it says to fill the oil tank with the oil provided & run it for a set period of time, dispose of that oil and refill the vacuum pump. The problem is they provide you with only enough oil to fill the vacuum pump for the first time but do not provide you enough oil to refill it after you have run& flushed the vacuum pump as the direct you to do.How many people do you know would be able to go to locate a store locally and buy the proper vacuum oil?? Worth noting even in the directions in the back page it tells you to buy a brand called JB industries black gold vacuum oil and it says you can find it in your local store (that’s funny) or order it from Amazon (that’s more likely the fact) but either case why would you provide enough oil to the consumer to get the machine up and running to be flushed out as directed but not enough additional oil so you certainly could use it for your intended purpose which was the reason why you purchased this thing through Amazon.I do think it’s up to Amazon to force this company to provide enough vacuum pump oil so you can fill it up, run it and flush it and fill it back up according to the directions and then get straight to work on the project for what you bought the item for and used your hard earned money to purchase it! Otherwise it’s pretty darn stupid to buy this and then find out you can’t use it right away !

What I needed for my vacuum pump

If you are installing a new Mini Split unit and are using the older FJC R134a automotive vacuum/pressure gage set, this and the R410a to 1/4" adapter are what you'll need to vacuum down the line set. I searched all over the area in attempts to find this fitting, but the only place it was available was at Amazon.com. You could say this fitting was the "final solution" to my installation dilemma, as once it arrived all my installation troubles were over. My new Mini Split now runs perfect and we are delighted with the results. Thank You FJC and Amazon.

This is the correct fitting to connect to the male 1/4" flared fitting on a Yellow Jacket vacuum pump. It converts the vacuum fitting to the correct male ACME thread to attach the yellow refrigerant line from your manifold gauges to for pulling a solid vacuum. It connected my Imperial R134A yellow line to my yellow jacket vacuum pump with no leaks. This part shipped promptly from the seller and arrived sooner then originally expected. Excellent product, excellent seller.

I've had good luck with all of the FJC products I've purchased. They're of very good quality for the price. This adapter is no exception.Unlike some 1/4" female to 1/2" ACME internal taper male adapters I have, this one has a flat mating surface with o-ring inside, so you don't need to heavily torque it down to ensure a proper seal. It's a nice touch that adds to the general perception that this adapter was designed for quality. Of course, you still need it tight enough that the pump won't vibrate it loose.It doesn't come with a cap, which would have been most welcome.It does come in a reusable clamshell case, though, so it'll stay clean if you decide not to make it a permanent fixture on your pump.If you're looking for good bang for your buck, you can't go wrong with FJC.

Excellent fix , thank you was able to do vacuum on my cars
