3 Gallon Aluminum Vacuum Chamber

3 Gallon Vacuum Chamber

This is a complete BVV vacuum chamber setup designed, built, and tested in Naperville, Illinois.

Key Features:

• All pots and lids are (Made in USA)
• Our chambers are assembled and rigorously tested in Naperville, Illinois
• Chambers are tested to lose no more than 2.5Hg/24hrs
• Durable and reversible silicone gasket
• Glycerin filled vacuum gauge to prevent shock in transit or while in use
• User friendly vacuum connections that fit most vacuum pumps
• 50 Micron Air filter for reducing airborne contaminants when releasing the vacuum
• Silicone vacuum pad
• 5' of vacuum rated HVAC hose to pull a vacuum

Compatability:

• BVV chambers are not compatible with stabilization resin (i.e. Cactus Juice™, Minwax™ etc.), alcohol, ethanol, acetone and acrylic based monomers or polymers. The lid may only be cleaned with soapy water.
• Glass Lid chambers are compatible with all solvents and stabilization resins. We only recommend and warranty Glass Vac chambers for resin infusion and wood stabilization. The lid may be cleaned with any solvent or cleaning agent.

Pump Warranty Information:

• Customers using solvents such as stabilization resins (MinWax™, Gator Venom™ etc.), alcohol and other polar solvents must use the vacuum pumps in conjunction with a cold trap for evacuations in excess of 5 minutes or warranty is void.
• Stabilization resins made of monomers and polymers have the potential to break down the internal components of vacuum pumps that are plastic resulting in a seized motor voiding all warranties.
• When evacuation exceeds 5 minutes solvents and water vapor can begin to re-condense in the vacuum pump oil reservoir. Once enough solvent or water re-condenses in the reservoir displacing the vacuum pump oil the plastic internal components may begin to warp, melt or seize. The use of a cold trap will condense the vapors prior to making their way to the vacuum pump preventing pump damage due to excessive use. Furthermore, Minwax Wood Hardener™ is not to be used with any vacuum pumps, EVER. (A seized motor may result within the first use.)
• It is also recommended to perform frequent and complete oil changes to prevent oil displacement and provide thorough lubrication.
