Gast VG-065-00-00 Venturi Vacuum Generator 6.8 Cfm

Product Description

The GAST VG-065-00-00 is a single-stage venturi vacuum generator designed to produce vacuum using compressed air flow rather than a motor-driven pump. It operates on the venturi principle, drawing a vacuum through a 1/2 FPT vacuum port with a maximum vacuum rating of 27 inches of mercury (in/Hg) and a maximum inlet pressure of 68 psi. Open-flow design means no moving parts, which reduces maintenance requirements in demanding industrial and process environments. Air consumption at rated conditions is 2.7 CFM. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance professionals, and fluid-handling specialists are the primary installers and users of this device.

This venturi vacuum generator suits applications where a compressed air supply is already present and a compact, low-maintenance vacuum source is needed. Typical use cases include pick-and-place automation, material handling, vacuum chucking, laboratory processes, and light industrial process control. Its small footprint makes it practical for panel mounting or inline installation in pneumatic circuits. The unit requires no electrical connection, drawing its operating energy entirely from a compressed air supply.

Key Features

• Single-stage venturi design with no moving parts for low-maintenance operation
• 6.8 CFM open-flow vacuum capacity
• 27 in/Hg maximum vacuum pressure
• 68 psi maximum inlet air pressure
• 2.7 CFM compressed air consumption at rated conditions
• 1/2 FPT vacuum port for straightforward threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit venturi vacuum generator for compressed-air-driven vacuum systems requiring a 1/2 FPT vacuum port connection and single-stage vacuum generation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed industrial mechanics, pneumatic system technicians, or HVAC professionals familiar with compressed air systems. Isolate and depressurize the compressed air supply line before installing or removing this component. Use thread sealant appropriate for pneumatic service on all FPT connections and verify there are no leaks before returning the system to operation. Do not exceed the 68 psi maximum inlet pressure, as overpressure can reduce vacuum output and may damage downstream components.
