Lots of changes have
made their way into the HVAC Industry with the latest being the shrinking size of the recovery machine. Yellow Jacket has released their own version with the Yellow Jacket 95730 YJ-LTE Refrigerant Recovery Machine. This unit is hailed by Yellow Jacket as the smallest, lightest, and most powerful unit in its class.
Welcome back, if you joined us last
week we had a detailed review of the JB Industries Platinum vacuum pumps which can be found here. Today, I will be showcasing a comparable product line from Yellow Jacket, their flagship line of SuperEvac Vacuum Pumps. Yellow Jacket is another manufacturer that strives to build their products right here in the US.
Hello everyone. Today’s post is going to looking at an exciting and innovative new device from Yellow Jacket – the 67001 ManTooth Wireless Temperature and Pressure Gauge. This is a device that will save you time, energy and money in the field and makes full use of the great technology that is available from today’s mobile devices.
Vacuum Gauges are very important
tools that assist you during any HVAC job where you are evacuating a system. When you pull a vacuum on a system to completely “dry” a system and remove all contaminants it is important to know if everyone is working as intended. This is where the Yellow Jacket eVac I and eVac II Digital Vacuum Gauge earn their stripes. The eVac I is the bare bones variety of vacuum gauges but that does not mean it is junky.
Hello all. Today we are going to have a look at a relatively easy to use product that saves you the headache of having to do complex math on the job – the Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator. For those who don’t know, superheat is the degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a certain pressure and the subcool value is the number of degrees below the boiling point.
Are you still using your Brass 2-Valve Manifold
and gauges to analyze refrigerant systems? Do you enjoy picking up some brontosaurus ribs with the family? You might be living in the Stone Age where life is unnecessarily harder than it should be. Now I am not saying you should forgo all things analog and fully submerge yourself into a digital lifestyle, but when it comes to HVAC work, a little bit of shiny new tech never killed anyone.
Updated March 2024.
Yellow Jacket, a Ritchie Engineering Company, is a proud
manufacturer of built in the USA Vacuum Pumps. The Yellow Jacket Bullet series is their economical line of vacuum pumps but that doesn’t mean they are cheaply made. These vacuum pumps are available in 3, 5, and 7 CFM Models depending on the size of the system you are looking to evacuate. They all feature a wide base with rubber legs to keep them in place during use.
Many HVAC techs still wonder if any vacuum pumps are made in USA. The answer is YES. 
Yellow Jacket makes two different product series: SuperEvac and Bullet, and both types of vacuum pumps are made in USA. SuperEvac comes in 4, 6, 8 and 11 CFM capacity, and it is a premium vacuum pump.
