Where to buy
Overview
Four reasons why you need our VP67
1. Do your job faster with our RunQuick® Oil Change System
Clean oil matters. You–the technician– understand the importance of clean oil, but also the hassle that task usually comes with. With our RunQuick® Oil Change System, we’ve taken away the inconvenience of changing the oil and we have made it possible for you to switch the oil in your vacuum pump in 20 seconds or less without powering down or losing vacuum. And, through the large oil reservoir, you can easily view the condition of your oil in an instant as well as store an extra oil container for on-site. No mess, quick change, fast vacuum. That’s our VP67.
2. Lightweight and portable powerhouse
Designed to handle the demands of any job, the VP67 is still light enough to be carried anywhere on site. With only 13 kg, this Fieldpiece vacuum pump is a light, but still tough one and is compatible with A2L refrigerants!
3. Four in-line ports
Four in-line ports to make sure you have plenty of room to easily run multiple hoses. Because of the strategically placed ports, tangled hoses and clutter around your vacuum pump is in the past. Work efficiently with our VP67 and easily connect hoses of ¼”, ⅜”, and ½”.
4. Easy-to-use gas ballast
To engage or disengage the gas ballast valve, simply turn the lever to whatever side is needed. This lever style system ensures that you can easily and quickly change the gas ballast, to make your job easier, better, and faster.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the VP67 / VP87 / VPX7?
VP67INT: 6 CFM 170 l/min - 13,15 kg - AC motor - Dual voltage
VP87INT: 8 CFM 225 l/min - 12,25 kg - DC motor - 110V or 230V
VPX7INT: 10 CFM 280 l/min - 10,9 kg - DC motor with EPO coating** - 110V or 230V
Why is there vapor coming out of the pump?
It is normal for the pump to emit vapor when pumping on a chamber from atmosphere. Since all the air that is removed from the chamber by the pump moves through the oil in the oil reservoir, some of that oil is vaporized when a lot of air is moving through it. When the pressure in the chamber is reduced to a few hundred torr, the oil vapor will be reduced.
How often do I need to change the oil?
We recommend to empty or replace oil at the end of every usage. Don’t leave old oil in the machine. Store the pump and oil in dry clean areas for longest life. The oil can lose its sealing properties if left uncovered. Keep the oil sealed until it’s ready for use.
Do I have to use fieldpiece oil?
No, you can use any manufacturer's vacuum pump oil, however fieldpiece oil is optimized for our vacuum pumps and has a specific viscosity for maximum performance.
Why is my oil cloudy?
Excessive moisture is present in the oil indicating that the oil needs to be replaced.
How do I know that my vacuum pump can pull down sufficiently?
Perform this test to ensure the vacuum pump and your micron gauge are working properly. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1. Connect your vacuum gauge directly to a port on the vacuum pump. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2. Seal the 3 other ports. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
3. Ensure the gas ballast is closed. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
4. Turn on the vacuum pump to create a vacuum at your gauge. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
If your gauge measures below 200 microns within 1 minute, you know the vacuum pump and your micron gauge are working correctly. If your gauge does not reach 200 microns, there is a problem with your gauge, the vacuum pump, or both.
What are the sizes of the ports?
The port sizes from left to right are 1/4”, 1/2”, 3/8”, 3/8“.
What is the gas ballast and when do I use it?
A gas ballast valve will allow a flow of air into the final part of the compression cycle and allow the vapor to be expelled without condensation or affecting the pump's overall performance. Using the gas ballast valve on the initial pull down helps the pump run smoothly and keeps the oil in good condition.
Can the vacuum pump pull a vacuum for A3/NH3 refrigerant systems?
The vacuum pumps are certified for A2L refrigerant systems. We do not certify the pump against A3 systems, or systems with NH3 - however, as long as the systems are completely void of refrigerant before evacuation, it can be used on those systems.
Does the Vacuum pump have an anti-suck back oil system?
Yes, The Fieldpiece Vacuum Pumps features a non-mechanical ‘anti-oil suck back’ system which when the machine loses power, will ensure that the oil in the vacuum pump does not migrate into the system or the hose lines.
We achieve this by having an ‘open-air’ valve that is sealed when the machine is running, but then slowly opens up to atmospheric pressure when the machine loses power or is switched off.
The issue we solve with this feature is the oil-suck back issue which can be very damaging and time consuming to the system should this happen.
What is the final vacuum?
Final vacuum is 15 microns
What type of oil is used with the machine?
Mineral oil
How many stages do the vacuum pumps have?
All our vacuum pumps (VP67/VP87/VPX7) have 2 stages.
