Robinair CoolTech™ CT15121A (236 L/min, dual-voltage) — a proven two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump built for licensed HVAC/R techs who need fast, consistent evacuation and fewer call-backs. It’s lightweight, tough, and the Iso-Valve™ lets you isolate the pump from the system in a quarter turn. Fair dinkum performance when the roof’s roasting and the job can’t wait.

Key Features & Trade Benefits

  • Two-stage, offset rotary vane — pulls a deeper vacuum faster, so you dry the system properly and get off site sooner.
  • Factory micron rating: 15 microns — achieve a tight system with confidence and reduce rework. (AU 50 Hz free-air displacement: 236 L/min.)
  • Iso-Valve™ — isolate the pump without disconnecting; perfect for rate-of-rise checks and avoiding oil suck-back.
  • Gas ballast — lets moisture-laden air pass through without condensing in the oil, protecting pump performance.
  • Die-cast aluminium body & polycarbonate base — durable, stable, and lighter to lug up ladders. No dramas on site.
  • Dual-voltage motor (110–127V / 220V, 50/60 Hz) — ready for AU 230 V/50 Hz, with high-torque start-up.
  • Multiple inlet fittings — 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" SAE MFL for flexible hose setups and fewer adaptors.

Why This Vacuum Pump Matters

We’ve all been there — up in Brisbane on a 38-degree day, chasing moisture that just won’t quit. The CT15121A’s two-stage stack and gas ballast get you down through the 1,000–300 microns zone smoothly, while the Iso-Valve makes leak isolation and rate-of-rise checks quick. It’s a bloody good way to keep schedules tight and jobs tidy. For more options, browse our Vacuum Pumps collection.

Pro Tip

Open the gas ballast at the start of evacuation and close it around 1000–3000 microns to prevent water vapour condensing in the oil — then finish the pull-down. And change the oil after each job for consistent deep vacuums. She’ll be right if the oil’s right.

Compatibility & System Info

  • Designed for A/C-R systems using CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs with mineral, POE/ester, alkylbenzene or PAG oils.
  • Not for use with flammable refrigerants (e.g., A2L/A3) or ammonia/lithium bromide systems — follow manufacturer safety guidance.
  • Inlet fittings: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" SAE MFL. Use full-flow vacuum hoses and a core removal tool to speed evacuation.

Local Jobsite Note (AU)

From humid Sydney basements to sun-baked rooftops in Brisbane, the stable base, angled drain and easy oil view help you keep things neat, safe and efficient. Too easy.

FAQs

No — per Robinair, this series is not for flammable refrigerants. For A2L work, pick an A2L-rated alternative from our Vacuum Pumps category.

The factory rating is 15 microns. Real-world results depend on hose size, core removal, ambient conditions and oil quality — use a micron gauge to verify.

Best practice: after each job or whenever the oil looks milky/dark. Fresh oil dramatically improves pull-down and pump life.

Use a core removal tool, run large-ID vacuum hoses direct to the pump, open the gas ballast at the start, and verify with a quality micron gauge before charging. No worries.
