Title: Replacement vacuum pump for Richmond
Post by: Squeeky on November 09, 2021, 02:56:14 PM

Hey guys
Just curious to know if anyone has any experience to share regarding a replacement vacuum pump for a GE discontinued unit in my trusty old Richmond. It seems to be getting louder. A spare on hand might be a good idea. The old pump is a Model Number 5KH36KNA510X, GE Commercial Motor, probably the original unit.

Thanks

Why not simply buy a vacuum pump from Amazon and just hard  tube it into your equipment.
Here is just one example for @$120.00

If it's the type with a motor and pump attached to the motor's face, it may just need cleaning, I used to do that with ours and it would be good for another couple of years. See the pic...

We have used GAST pumps and that is the best type to use
