Can this pump be used for home a/c systems?

I thinka five ton house a/c will be a large evacuation. And a three cfm two stage or five cfm would be a better bet! So no this would not do for a house a/c.

Yes it can that is what I use it on dose good job for occasional use. I have used it three times in 2 years.

I would go for a 5 cfm 2 stage model for home ac. This pump would take way too long to evacuate the system of air and probably wouldn't last very long if you worked on home ac regularly. This is only a single stage pump. Perfect for auto ac. I have never tried it on home ac.

I have not used it other than with an outlet; however, if you have a standard manual pump it would work. Instructions included.

I would advise you to get a professional to do it. I am fairly handy and decided to do a job myself. I bought what I thought was an exact replacement pump for my A/C system and in the end had to get an A/C technician to install it as it was not the correct one. The replacement did not have the automatic electronic connection (or something like it). He had to do a work around to get it to work. When there are so many models, it is easy to pick the wrong one. Maybe you will have better luck than me.

Yes. As the connections are standard 110 AC, you can connect any brand (non variable) pumps.

It pulls a 27-28 inch mercury vacuum (approx. 30 inches is full) on anything you connect it to, so yes it'll work on any system you connect it to since the intent is to evacuate the air and vacuum dry the moisture. It connects to a standard set of gauges, whether filling with R-12, 22, or 134A. I've never used it on a residential system since I don't have access to R-12 or the newer refrigerants, but it performs the same function. I used to rent the same pump from Autozone until I bought my own.

This will definitely work but its a little overkill as this is a much bigger pump than you would need for that, but if money is not a concern then this is a great pump that would suit any experimental needs. This pump is designed for A/C and refrigeration pump downs to pull systems into a vacuum and boil off any moisture present down to 500 microns or less. Hope this info helps and good luck.

I don't understand what you want to use it for. This pump will work for many applications. If you want to use it for pumping down an auto a/c you will need a 1/4" acme fitting to hook up the gauges. Make sure it is full of oil before you start. If you run the pump for a long time, keep an eye on the oil level.

I have not used it for that purpose. You need to check the specs on the specific pump to see if the power requirement is less than the 175 watt rating of the inverter. If so it should work fine.

I can confirm CoralHind's answer. I use it with a generator and portable A/C in my van. The A/C unit would not work without it because my generator frequency was not stable.

1/5 HP. It is great a great pump. I use it mostly for home use servicing my cars. But it would work fine for home systems. It is not really built (nor does it cost) for commercial work. Here is a link to the Operators Manual; http://catalog.otctools.com/newcatalog/products/555562_E.pdf

Don't mean to be contrary but my pump came with instructions on how to install it as a supply line pressure booster. So, yes, it can be used for your application.

I believe you should be able to use this on a m/s system as long as the system is empty. You will need to get a hose and adapter. Doug -The pump works very well by the way.

I don't recomment it use for control A/C. It works differences of humadity.

It depends on the air pump. If the pump runs on 120 vac house current, then yes. If the pump runs on 12 vdc, then no. If the 120 vac pump draws more than 175 watts, then no.

This device is more for Christmas tree lights, fans and lamps. An air conditioner, especially an old one, may pull too many amps and burn it out. I wouldn't recommend it.

This vacuum can be used for HVAC and I believe artwork. Its designed primarily for air conditioning. Its mostly used to create a vacuum (remove oxygen from a Air conditioning unit) in your a/c system and I dont recommend this will work on other major projects listed above, with exception of lab use. I would not recommend it for the above projects. I hope this helps you.
