Gast VG-015-00-00 Venturi Vacuum Generator 2.2 Cfm

Product Description

The GAST VG-015-00-00 is a single-stage venturi vacuum generator designed to produce vacuum without any moving parts or electrical input. It operates on compressed air, drawing in and evacuating air through a venturi nozzle to generate negative pressure. With an open flow rating of 2.2 CFM and a maximum vacuum of 27 inches of mercury (in/Hg), this unit is suited for light to medium vacuum applications in industrial, automation, and trade service environments. Air consumption is 3.5 CFM at rated inlet pressure. The unit connects via a 1/4-inch FPT vacuum port and is compact enough for panel-mount or inline installation.

This venturi generator is commonly used in pneumatic systems, pick-and-place automation, vacuum clamping fixtures, HVAC evacuation assist setups, and industrial process lines where a compressed air supply is already present. Its single-stage design keeps installation straightforward and maintenance minimal since there are no rotating components. It is typically installed by millwrights, industrial technicians, or HVAC-R professionals integrating vacuum functions into compressed-air-driven systems.

Key Features

• 2.2 CFM open flow vacuum capacity for light to medium duty applications
• 27 in/Hg maximum vacuum pressure
• Maximum inlet supply pressure of 30-3/4 psi
• 3.5 CFM compressed air consumption at rated conditions
• 1/4-inch FPT vacuum port for standard pneumatic fittings
• No moving parts — venturi design eliminates mechanical wear

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or direct replacement for single-stage venturi vacuum generators using 1/4-inch FPT vacuum port connections in compressed-air-driven pneumatic and industrial systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial or HVAC-R technicians familiar with compressed air systems. Shut off and bleed down the compressed air supply before connecting or disconnecting fittings. Ensure the supply air pressure does not exceed 30-3/4 psi to avoid over-pressurizing the unit. Thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic connections should be applied to all FPT fittings per standard practice.
