15.4.2 Checking refrigerant piping: General guidelines
Connect the vacuum pump through a manifold to the service port of all stop valves
to increase efficiency (refer to "15.4.3Checking refrigerant piping: Setup"[497]).
NOTICE
Use a 2-stage vacuum pump with a non-return valve or a solenoid valve that can
evacuate to a gauge pressure of –100.7kPa (−1.007bar).
NOTICE
Make sure the pump oil does not flow oppositely into the system while the pump is
not working.
NOTICE
Do NOT purge the air with refrigerants. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the
installation.
