The GRACO 123029 is a vacuum pump designed for industrial and laboratory applications, compatible with GRACO equipment requiring medium to coarse vacuum. It is constructed with robust materials suitable for continuous operation and is intended for use in systems where reliable vacuum generation is essential, such as in material handling, laboratory instrumentation, or industrial processes.

Key Features:

• Rotary vane vacuum pump
• RV8
• Metal housing, wet lubrication system
• 6.9 CFM (note: some sources list 5.9 CFM for standard RV8; 6.9 CFM may be a variant or marketing specification)
• Medium vacuum (1–10⁻³ Torr) to coarse vacuum (760–1 Torr)
• Compatible with GRACO equipment requiring vacuum, KF25 inlet/exhaust flanges
• Two-stage compression for improved vacuum performance
• High vapor handling for quicker process
• Superior particulate handling for reliability
• Fast-acting, automatic inlet valve for anti-suck back protection
• Mode selector and two-position gas ballast for flexible operation
• Quiet running for better work environment
• Designed for easy maintenance, minimizing unplanned downtime
• Universal motor for wide voltage and frequency range

Applications:
Used in analytical instruments, electron microscopes, physics research, backing turbo pumps, leak detection, mass spectrometer inlet systems, distillation, laboratory furnaces, backing vapor pumps, solvent concentration, freeze drying, and other drying applications.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures optimal performance, reliability, and compatibility with GRACO equipment.
• Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting of the pump
• Connect inlet and exhaust using appropriate KF25 flanges
• Check oil level and use recommended oil (Ultragrade 19 or equivalent)
• Verify electrical supply matches pump requirements (1 phase, voltage as specified)
• Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for initial startup and routine maintenance
• Regularly inspect and replace oil as needed to maintain pump performance
