Javac Bulldog VBD1622 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
- 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
- 156 L/min (5.5 CFM) free air displacement
- 450ml oil capacity
- A2L and A3 approved — suitable for all standard and next-generation refrigerant applications
- Designed and built in the UK by Javac (Aspen Pumps Group)
