Description
Getting started on installs or adding a second rig? The JAVAC Split System Installation Kit bundles the must-have tools so techs can pull down fast, leak-check properly and charge with confidence. It’s a bloody good way to kit out the van without mucking about hunting parts.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- R32-rated 2-stage vacuum pump (≈45 L/min) — dependable evacuation on domestic splits. Quicker deep vac = less downtime, fewer call-backs.
- Acravac Plus digital (Pirani) vacuum gauge — measures from atmosphere to deep vacuum. Know when the system’s dry instead of guessing.
- TEK-Mate leak detector — proven heated-diode tech for CFC/HCFC/HFC. Find pinholes and stop repeat visits.
- 2-valve manifold gauge set (select R410A or R134a/R22/R407) — use the right scale for the refrigerant you service most.
- Built for Aussie conditions — rugged tools that cop heat, humidity and roof work. Less babying, more graft.
- Great value bundle — one kit, one invoice; you’re on the job faster.
Why This Product Matters
Real-world: you’re on a two-storey install in January, Brisbane humidity hanging heavy. You braze clean, fit the drier, then pull down with the CAL-45 and verify on the Acravac while your mate tidies the trunking. Leak-check with the TEK-Mate, charge by weight, pressures settle nicely and you’re off to the next call — she’ll be right. For more tool bundles, see our HVAC Tool Kits.
Pro Tip
Use a dedicated micron gauge on a tee at the system, not at the pump. Isolate and watch for rise — if it holds, you’ve nailed moisture removal and tightness. Keep the detector warm and sensor-cap on between checks for best sensitivity.
Compatibility & System Info
- Refrigerants: Common split-system and light commercial gases incl. R32, R410A, R134a, R22, R407 series (use the matching manifold scale).
- Applications: Split-system installation, service and commissioning, light commercial A/C.
- Good practice: Recovery, evacuation and charging must be performed by licensed techs under AU regulations (see Authoritative Link below).

FAQs
Is 45 L/min enough for a typical 2.5–7 kW split?
For domestic splits with good pipework practices, 45 L/min is a common sweet spot. Use the micron gauge at the system, isolate and verify hold before charging.
Does the kit cover R32 jobs?
Yes — the CAL-series pump in this kit is R32 compatible. Use the correct gauge set and follow AU handling/licensing rules.
Do I still need a separate manifold?
No, a 2-valve manifold is included. Choose the scale (R410A or R134a/R22/R407) that matches your workload.
