what is the exhaust cap for. Is it where the evacuated freon escapes from. Is there anyway to save the gas

I have not used it yet. The cap, I think is a special type. If you will notice there is, what I think a slight separation.

You have to put a recovery unit on first. Once the system is empty, then you install the vacuum unit on and evacuate to 30" of vacuum.

The vacuum pump removes the air from the system. Under a vacuum of 30" water will boil at room temp and will be removed as a vapor. If there is freon left in the system, why are you pumping it down? If the system is leaking it must be evacuated and repaired. The vacuum pump is used in many situations which you can attach a longer hose to it, to exhaust away from where you are working. the vacuum pump should never be used to allow freon go to the open air. I don't know with this pump if you can save the freon, because I don't think it would fill a certified canister for recovery. I hope this helps you. The vacuum pump removes the air from the system.

Refrigerant should be removed using a recovery machine prior to pulling a vacuum. Any remaining refrigerant in the system that can't be recovered would fall into the category of de minimis release. The exhaust cap is only used when the pump when is not in operation. It is used to keep contaminants out of the exhaust port.

The red cap cover is a screw and it's where you put your oil in the big black knob is the exhaust it is electric but it burns a little bit of oil especially the first few times you plug it in

I'm not sure. Its buried in the garage right now.It goes down to below zero here at night. Looking for it right now is not a priority.when the gas gets down to half a tank, it quits.

Hello Arnie, Unfortunately we only have the exhaust vent coming out of the top and not out of the back of any of our models. Thank you, Range Hood Direct Buy

Do you have a picture of the exhaust hose panel? I am trying to figure out if there is a way if the tube is tiny enough to leave part of the window slightly open or if it is too big and if so what alternatives exist?

I don't know what you mean by caps. My burner was just the burner and included the igniter. It did NOT come with a new gasket so I reused my old one. It was an easy 1/4 turn counter clockwise to unscrew it, disconnect the wires, transfer the old gasket, attach the wires, and a 1/4 turn clockwise to install.

Mine has a plastic cover that screws off. You must have the gas shielding type.

The intake port brings outside air into the unit to cool it. Blocking it off means you will be using cooled air from the room to cool the unit. Also, you will create a negative pressure situation inside the room that will suck warm air into the room from any cracks around windows, doors, outlets, etc. to replace the cooled room air that gets warmed inside the unit and exhausted outside through the exhaust port. I suppose it could be done, but the unit would not be as efficient as it is with the intake and exhaust hoses connected to the outside.

Call the person who installed it and have them fix it. They most likely did not remove the blocking panel that opens the hood to the outside vent. The instructions are pretty clear that you need to do this or else it will simply blow air back in your face. The clicking is probably a similar issue - that your installer didn't open it up and put the right panels in place and remove the securing packing tape.

It isn't direct vent, PERIOD. Maybe, I implied something???? Worked in installation, service of all types of gas appliances 20 years. Resend me my actuall comment & I shallreply!

The Kelch gas gauge cap itself is not vented so your gas tank needs to be vented if it is not

It is on the front of the vacuum at the end of the exhaust. It is on the side with the cover; however, the cover snaps on very tightly so it is not an issue.

I'm not sure if it's the official way to do it but if you've already pressured it pull off the gas line and stick a flat head screwdriver into the inner circle on your post (like letting air out of a bike tire). Should hear a nice hiss...let off as much as you want/need and you should be good to go.

There is a round exhaust on the back you attach a hose to to vent the heat out. Its about the size of a dryer hose. I use this in my camper and have cut a round opening in the camper wall to attach the hose and expel the heat created by this unit.

It is required to be OUTSIDE. The Exhaust from natural gas is pretty clean, yet toxic and being so cleaned you won't noticed you are being poisoned. KEEP IT OUTSIDE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE IN A GARAGE. I am not yelling, I am just making sure you get it.The plastic is pretty durable, but if you want to extend its life, put a vinyl fence around it for shade. Just make sure to leave enough space to breath and exhaust as well as to do maintenance. Also make sure you instal it with plenty of clearance from the house. At least 3 ft, but check the local code.

Your pump was doing what it is supposed to do. A vacuum pump that is smoking out the exhaust means it is pulling out contaminates from the system (moisture and acid). That smoke is contamination. Every vacuum pump I have used in the past 32 years of being a proffessional refrigeration technitian spews some oil out the exhaust as well. Once the smoke is gone from the exhaust purge the system with dry nitrogen. Pull several vacuums this way and the smoke will disappear. Thats is when you know the sysem is clean of moisture and contamination.

This is a rear exit, right behind the rear wheels. The exit is tucked up between the rear quarter panel and the rear spring, so it is mostly hidden. The mufflers themselves sit in the factory placement for the true split exhaust, so they are also tucked up and out of sight. No more scraping exhaust on speed-bumps! The connection (collectors) are not included. I found stainless steel collectors at any auto parts store for around $30. Hope this helps.
