Based on what I have seen the fieldpiece pump in combination with the tru blue hoses is hands down the the best combo. Im still learning but I think it would work better with just a double tru blue hose direct to pump and not run through gauges with the joblink vacuum gauge. Let me know if Im wrong on that. There is a big jump in price in those pumps from the base 6cfm model to the 8cfm and 10cfm. I read some comment that most systems cant handle the 10cfms anyways but not sure what he was saying. If he was talking about the hoses/gauges or the AC system. I dont mind spending double for the 10cfms if I will see a big improvement but dont want to overspend if its not going to make a difference. Those tru blue hoses look like the single best upgrade from what I have seen even with a 6cfm pump they make a HUGE difference. The fact that the pump has all those ports is great for a double tru blur hose, The one down fall of the 3 hose tru blue kit is it looks like it takes awhile to set everything up with the tees and clamps which eats into the time savings of using it but the 2 hose system direct to pump with no man. gauges for a speedy connection and fast vacuum looks like a winner IMO. but I could be wrong
Just got into HVAC and I’m 1000% getting that pump!! And I only own the fieldpiece gauges the sm480. Lol I have so much to learn on how to use all this equipment and the video was so helpful!! I really appreciate you making them and keep up the great work bro and thank you!!
Excellent Video RH. Thanks for putting the VP87 to work, looks like it's a solid and well thought out design. I have a set of Trublue hoses coming from TTT, I will be using these on a JB pump until I can get the VP87. Yep, I'm definitely a Fieldpiece guy, I have the SC-660 and 440 clamp meters, the whole blue tooth probe set, manometers, Sman 380 manifolds. When I started out, I carried a Fluke clamp meter and figured out really quick why so many of the techs carried Fieldpiece meters. Thier stuff is designed for the trade and it performs very well. I wish they would bring back a smaller sized SC440 clamp meter with a swivel head. I have the 440 in my attic/roof bag and I do miss the swivel feature sometimes. I like how you kept it real and showed off your "getting ahead of myself filter drier bit", that kind of stuff happens to us all. Take care and have a good one.
I love my VP87 and she has been used a lot. I change the oil often, but Liquid Gold is good stuff. I have found the vacuum oil brands really makes a big difference.
Great point check and recheck compressor especially voltage and phase I have been given a three phase when I ordered a single phase so great point always check it before leaving supply house.
Great video bud. Watched it while researching which new pump to buy. For sure going to be getting the 10 cfm with Tru Blu hoses. I even watched all the ads for you. Keep the videos coming.
Hey cool video but I want to know where you got it or how you're able to get the Milwaukee packout to lock into the back of your torches like that. Is that a torch case that already comes with the packout female lock-ins or did you build something please tell me more I love that set up
thanks for the video but i noticed you used your MG directly on the pump vs the core tool , is that recommended and as accurate??? i notice you can't valve this pump off compared to the older pumps...
I like the fieldpiece I got the older version vacuum pump and love it and the recovery unit is a tank I also have several of the meters got the manifold and probe setup and more they a good product thanks for the video
It was given to me actually, but I just updated the Amazon tool Link in the description 👍🏽 it'll be under Lights...that sounds like a good video to do, you just have to hook up one line that's 115v to one jumper and you just ground the others. I prefer to do it by the contactor, I avoid live wires. And thanks for the support 🙏🏽
You don't find it a pain carrying all that around? (Considering how big it looks and having to carry extra hoses to put it to good use) Does it weigh about the same compared to the average vacuum pump? I'm guessing its all worth it in the end.
It's actually the same if not lighter than your normal pump. It's a little bigger yes but very compact, considering you get easy access ports and extra oil storage...And I personally hated oil changes on other pumps, easy to spill or overfill. This one makes it so easy 👍🏽
11:00 Preparing to braze. The inside of the piping to be brazed is filled with air. Steps should be taken to fill the piping and compressor with nitrogen to replace the air. Otherwise, the oxidation visible on the outside of the piping after brazing will also be inside the piping after brazing. This dirties up the system and the compressor oil. Not Good.

Love my VP87 pump. Best pump I’ve ever had.
I don't know how I used any other pump before

Appreciate the feedback 🙌🏽 thanks for watching

I got the vp67 little brother, mostly mini splits and 3 ton and under here, saved a few bucks and should be appropriate.
Bro, your review is one of the reasons I just bought this.
Field piece instruments is a must have for every HVAC TECH !!!
🙌🏽
Aren't you loving those "cable clic's" for keeping those cords on the temp clamps nice and clean. 😎👍
Congratulations on the new pump.
Yes sir, lot of people asked me about them. I picked up a whole bunch of different sizes
I have everything Fieldpiece!!! I have only the 5 cfm vacuum pump and it great you can only move so much through hoses unless you rock all four ports.
That's right, finally got some extra 3/8" hoses to solve that issue.
Would be nice if the cord was longer no?? I just ordered mine so I’m gonna learn to like it regardless haha
I have the sc480, vp85, mr45, job link probes, sman480, srs3 and the smnd6
Love their tools and no complaints
Nice collection 😎

Please provide information about the mirror set used after welding.
thanks for the video but i noticed you used your MG directly on the pump vs the core tool , is that recommended and as accurate??? i notice you can't valve this pump off compared to the older pumps...

They make great pumps for sure, and all great products 🙌🏽
Do you connected that black hose from vacuum pump to manifold gauge ?
I need those clips you use on the smans to keep the clamp cords neat
Home Depot, or check my Amazon link. I use different sizes for other things, but home Depot has them all.
And they're so great to work with too. Shout out to Tina. 😎👍#FieldpieceForTheWin
I have to ask where you got you flashlight mirror? Also would love to know how your wired the female plug to plug in your pump. Love your videos

How often you should change the oil?
“This things a beast man”
Haha I felt that!!
🙌🏽
Great tools set up
are they work all kind of system?
I need to left valve off when micron drop below 3000 ?
What is the function of gas ballast valve?
Hey man I see you have a pack out on your brazing set up can you elaborate how you did that? Thanks!
Yeah, I have a recent video on it. Just go to the description for links to everything. Hope it helps 👍🏽

Hello!!! Do you think the fieldpiece pump is better than the Appion TEZ 8 pump?
Sorry haven't tried that one. This pump is easy to store and easy to change the oil
Nice work! You did a great review👍👍. I love my original like this but this looks real nice
Thanks Rick, appreciate it 🙏🏽
hello, berapakah nilai fieldpiece vp87 itu di lokasi anda di amerika syarikat. bercakap dalam dolar
🔥🔥 bout to buy one
🙌🏽 I love using it
Doesn’t that handle prevent easy storage?
Overall it's a little bit but it's very compact for what you get out of it. I keep it with my recovery machine, same handles.

Wish it had a check value
Hater here 🙋🏻♂️ Great job! Just bought mines today. 😆
Those manifolds too big,,,,that vacuum pump ,,,pass the test,,,,,,anyway I am use testo ,,,good stuff,,,,,

Yup, always purge with nitrogen just like I did. Thanks
👍
🤙🏼🤙🏼
I didn’t see a gas ballast
Right side where the power cord is there is a lever. I tried to point it out but it's hard to see on camera
i'm curious why would you start the video showing you own a micron gauge and then use your manifold to pull a vac..hmm
Fieldpiece : good products but TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
