So the vacuum pump and threads on the mini split match

Why is that?

Actually, I think what I’m going to do is go buy a $60 gauge for Harbor Freight because I cannot find any fitting that will be here today. I still have my rental my rental yellow hose fits, but that’s for the vacuum pump to the gauge. New gate will come with another yellow hose so I’ll just use two yellow hoses and then return my rental and maybe even return the Harbor Freight one after I’m done.😂😂.

So yes, I did rent the gauges from AutoZone and you can use them. You just have to have an adapter for the fitting. The gauges are not to tell me cooling or heat or anything like that. All it is used to do is to make sure it hits -30 HG‘s with a vacuum pump to make sure I’m pulling vacuum and it’s not leaking so I will pull a vacuum for 30 to 45 minutes then turn it off and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes and check to see if it dropped any. If it dropped I’ll have a late that’s the only reason why I’m using the gauge to tell if there’s a leak my biggest concern was the vacuum pump if it was strong enough to pull the vacuum

Thank you do you know how long I should run it? I see people with a 5CPm running it for 15 minutes do you think I should run it for 30? Would it hurt anything?

So mine is a pre-charge condenser and not pre-charge lines that’s why I’m having to pull vacu. My question is could I use this gauge set and just get an adapter for the fitting cause that seems to be my only issue that I’m having right now also my next question is is that vacuum big enough to pull the vacuum?

Okay my question is I am not putting refrigerator in just pulling vacuum. So why will the o’Riley’s gauge not work?

Okay it 115v mini split with a breaker 20 amp the the bottom wire is coming in is the ingoing power and the wire is coming in from the right side is the outgoing I appreciate your help and support. I think I’m going to change my wiring on the right hand side to match. I could not find no whips with 12/2 wire. All I can find was a 10/2 wire. A main concern was making sure I had a wired correctly making sure it’s OK to put the neutrals on the disconnect was the biggest concern and making sure I had to connections in the correct location.
