What you'll find in this AccuTools collection

TruBlu evacuation hoses & kits – fast, deep vacuum

TruBlu hoses and evacuation kits are designed specifically for vacuum, using a large-bore, low-permeation hose with very low outgassing. They help you reach target microns faster and with more confidence when paired with a suitable vacuum pump.

• TruBlu hoses in multiple lengths for flexible site setups.
• Accutools TruBlu Starter Evacuation Kit and Starter XL Kit for tradies wanting a complete, large-bore evacuation solution in a case.
• Replacement gasket kits, O-rings, clamps, tees and KF-16 adapters to keep your TruBlu system fast and leak-tight over the long term.

For best results, pair your TruBlu setup with one of our vacuum pumps for HVAC & refrigeration.

BluVac digital vacuum & micron gauges – prove your vacuum

A deep vacuum only counts if you can measure it. BluVac digital vacuum/micron gauges help you confirm that systems are clean, dry and tight before charging.

• Wide measuring range with fine resolution for commissioning, service and diagnostics.
• Readings in multiple units (microns, Pascals, mbar, mmHg, Torr – model dependent).
• Long battery life and field-check calibration to minimise downtime.
• Compact, rugged housings with clear back-lit displays for plant rooms, ceilings and rooftops.

Leak detectors – refrigerant, combustible gas & CO₂

AccuTools leak detectors such as the eL-520 refrigerant leak detector, eL-320 combustible gas detector and eL-720 CO₂ detector are ideal for chasing leaks on:

• Split and ducted systems
• Commercial refrigeration and cold rooms
• Gas lines and combustion equipment
• Industrial CO₂ and natural refrigerant plant (model dependent)

Simple controls, selectable sensitivity and clear audible/visual alarms make them easy to use on busy sites. For a popular choice, explore the Accutools eL-520 Refrigerant Leak Detector.

DS-220 digital charging scale, core tools & KF-16 accessories

To round out the range, this collection also includes the DS-220 digital charging scale, core tools and KF-16 hardware.

• AccuTools DS-220 Versatile Digital Charging Scale for weighing refrigerant cylinders with weight, volume and count modes.
• Core removal tools in common 1/4" and 5/16" sizes for faster evacuation and accurate micron gauge placement.
• Schrader depressor tools for quick, full-bore gauge hook-ups on service ports.
• KF-16 clamps, tees and adapters to connect TruBlu hoses to 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" flare fittings, including right-angle options for tight spaces.

How to choose the right AccuTools setup

• Domestic split systems & multi-splits
  Combine a TruBlu Starter Evacuation Kit, a BluVac digital micron gauge and a mid-size vacuum pump for reliable pull-down on everyday AC installs and change-outs.
• Light commercial & refrigeration service
  Step up to longer TruBlu hoses, KF-16 tees, core removal tools and a sensitive refrigerant leak detector to handle longer line sets, racks and cold rooms.
• VRF, packaged units & plant rooms
  Use TruBlu XL hoses or multiple hoses, BluVac gauges and a high-capacity vacuum pump, plus the DS-220 digital charging scale for precise multi-circuit charging.
• Gas & CO₂ safety checks
  Add combustible gas and CO₂ leak detectors to your kit when dealing with gas lines, boiler rooms or CO₂ refrigeration so you can quickly pinpoint leaks and document corrective work.

If you’re unsure which combination of hoses, gauges and detectors suits the systems you see most, our team can help with real-world recommendations.

Compliance, safety & best practice in Australia

Correct evacuation, leak tightness and accurate charging aren’t just “nice to have” – they support your obligations under Australian refrigerant handling rules and safety standards. Using AccuTools equipment helps you:

• Achieve deep vacuum quickly while minimising moisture and non-condensables.
• Verify vacuum level and stability before charging.
• Detect and repair leaks instead of repeatedly topping up systems.

Always ensure work is carried out by appropriately licensed ARCtick technicians who follow current Codes of Practice and applicable AS/NZS standards, especially when working with flammable or high-GWP refrigerants.
