There are not a lot of pieces....what did you discover?

Almost sounds like an attempt to reverse engineer a BluVac.

Love mine. I think i have actually loaned it out more than i have used it (to the install crew to hopefully improve the process)

But got an okay and to order 4 Yellow blue vacs from jmart last week. (yay now i can use mine for a change) Now i am going to have to get them some appion valve core removals too.

Our older install guys who didnt believe me about about changing oil frequently and leaking hoses got an eye opener after using your product. they couldn't pull a good vacuums at all. Came to me saying my vacuum pumps broken. Changed the oil, and purchased some new hoses good as new. This tool has greatly improved and will continue to improve our install and evacuation procedure thanks for the great product

No, we private-label the scales for them as well. In exchange, we get access to their substantial distribution network.

Your original suggestion is still on my white board (along with dozens of other good ideas). We will continue to design new products centered about the basic BluVac tech, but we are a small company, and new, quality, products take time and money to produce.

Keep your eyes open...

I agree with this.

I tested bluvac not long ago. hose to gauge left me often trying to get gauge pointed in a ergonomically convenient direction that which it could be read without having to over torque the hose or continue to pick up the gauge and hold it to read it.

Same reason i quit using just about every other micron gauge on the market today and picked up the Y/J setup with remote sensor. I then super glued a magnet to the back of it to make it more user friendly.

If you resemble this comment it is purely coincidence as these are fictional examples

I agree 100%.

What does anyone else think?

The UEI DMG100 and DMG200 gauges are built side-by-side with the BluVac and BluVac LTEs in our factory. Except for the color, they are the same.

Straight from the horse's mouth.

The BluVac and the UEI DMG vacuum gauge are the same

still think the Bluvac is the same as the UEI DMG200.

I use DV-291

The BluVac port is a standard 1/4 male flare. It should interface with pretty much all standard 1/4 female flare connections with a rubber seal. The only connectors I would stay away from are actual metal-to-metal female flare fittings. I don't think you'd see good vacuum performance in that case.

Thanks Jbart

It appears to be the same one I have and my blue vac will screw into it. On my earlier post I meant I had several micron gauges and bluvac is superior.

you have several of what...?

I have several and Bluvac is far superior.

So it will screw into it?
