VPBM4V BlackMax 4 CFM Variable-Speed Vacuum Pump

Part Number: VPBM4V

Key Features

4 CFM two-stage pump achieves 15 micron ultimate vacuum
1/2 HP variable-speed brushless DC motor for quiet, efficient operation
Universal 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz power—no selector switch needed
Ignition-proof construction for added jobsite safety
Auto shut-off inlet solenoid prevents oil backflow and preserves vacuum
Mist-free exhaust/oil-fill cap keeps the work area clean
Large vertical oil sight glass and easy-access drain for fast service
Analog vacuum gauge in kPa and inHg with ±2% accuracy
Multiple intake ports: 1/2″ M, 3/8″ M, 1/4″ M

The BlackMax® VPBM4V is a compact, professional 4 CFM vacuum pump engineered for modern refrigerants including A2L classes. A 1/2 HP brushless DC motor delivers variable-speed performance and quiet operation, while universal 100–240 V (50/60 Hz) input eliminates voltage-selector hassles. A mist-free exhaust/oil-fill cap, large vertical oil sight glass, and analog vacuum gauge simplify service. The plated-brass gas ballast reduces moisture in oil to stabilize deep vacuum performance down to 15 microns. With 1/2" M, 3/8" M, and 1/4" M intake ports and an auto shut-off solenoid valve that prevents oil backflow, VPBM4V is built for reliable, ignition-proof operation in extreme temperatures.
