Vacuum Pumping Kits for the PELCO® Vacuum Desiccator Cabinets
Diaphragm Pump Kit for the #2251 Vacuum Desiccator
![]()
3436-51, 3436-51-230
This dry pumping kit consists of the #3436 diaphragm pump with 3 feet of ¼” thick wall silicone hose. This is a cost efficient solution suitable for moderate vacuum requirements. Achievable vacuum level is in the 200mbar range. For higher vacuum levels, a two stage rotary pump would be more suitable. Available in both 115V and 230V.
VRI-2 Rotary Pump Kit 55 for the #2251 Vacuum Desiccator
![]()
92092-55, 92092-55-230
This pumping kit consist of the VRI-2 pump with a KF16 hose adapter, ¼” thick wall silicone hose and rotary pump exhaust filter. The achievable vacuum is in the 10-2 mbar range. Very cost effective solution offering fast pumping speed and good end vacuum. Ideally used for intermittent pumping. Available both in 115V and 230V.
The kit includes:
92092-55 (or 92092-55-230) VRI-2 Pump Kit for Round Vacuum Desiccators, 115V (or 230V)
891-31 PELCO® Ultra 19 Vacuum Pump Oil, 1 liter
9609 Exhaust Filter for VRI-2 Pump
VRI-2 Rotary Pump Kit 51 for the #2251-16 Vacuum Desiccator
![]()
92092-51, 92092-51-230
This pumping kit consists of the VRI-2 pump with KF16 adapters, flexible stainless steel hose, connection hardware and rotary pump exhaust filter. The achievable vacuum level is in the 10-2 mbar range. Cost effective solution offering fast pumping speed and good end-vacuum. Suitable for intermittent pumping. For continuous pumping applications consider pumping kit 92092-52.
The kit includes:
92092-51 (or 92092-51-230) VRI-2 Pump Kit 51 for #2251-16 Vacuum Desiccator, 115V (or 230V)
891-31 PELCO® Ultra 19 Vacuum Pump Oil, 1 liter
9609 Exhaust Filter for VRI-2 Pump
VRI-2 Rotary Pump Kit 52 for the #2251-16 Vacuum Desiccator, Including Foreline Trap
![]()
92092-52, 92092-52-230
This pumping kit is the same as above with an additional foreline trap mounted between rotary pump and the vacuum desiccator. Includes all metal KF-16 hardware and exhaust filter. The foreline trap prevents backstreaming from the rotary pump to maintain an oil-free environment (provided the activated alumina for the foreline trap is exchanged at regular intervals). Best solution with good end vacuum. Suitable for continuous pumping applications.
The kit includes:
92092-52 (or 92092-52-230) VRI-2 Pump Kit 52 with Foreline Trap for #2251-16 Vacuum Desiccator, 115V (or 230V)
891-31 PELCO® Ultra 19 Vacuum Pump Oil, 1 liter
9609 Exhaust Filter for VRI-2 Pump
