Questions & Answers

Would a Nalgene bottle lid fit the threads on that lid?

There is no way they would fit into a Nalgene bottle if the spiral threads are similar to most water bottles I have According to my knowledge, the containers operated by mightyvac do not have threads, but I'm sure they have tabs that cross over and under each other to function

This lid fits on the smaller bottle included in the old set can you let me know? However, I'm not going to be using the large bottle since the vertical ports on the new lid are convenient. ?

That didn't work for me, at least. Although the kit you received comes with a screw on threaded bottle, this one has a turn-on screw cap. There is a lock on the

Apparently, this item is oversized for shipping. Why is that?

That certainly does not seem to be the case. Do you see that where you are? The item will arrive free of charge via Amazon prime. The size of the sheet is 366 L x 27 W. It is 94 inches high and 19 inches wide. The following dimensions are given in W (centimeters). I see eight ounces of it

Do you still need to purchase the Oring if they fixed the vacuum leak problem that other people have commented on?

So I would assume that it had been fixed since I had no problems.

The vacuum holds some vacuum, but not much
4/5

I wanted an even larger container than the one that came with the hand pump, so that brake fluid wouldn't get sucked in to the MityVac I need to flush/fill gas and brake fluid for my motorcycle's clutch, front, and rear brakes. This unit fits the bill perfectly. In addition to other reviewers who noted that the lid to the unit does not seem to My first attempt was to use a great deal of teflon tape, but it did not last A number of people have mentioned that an O- It is necessary to add a ring to the bottle in order to seal it. On Amazon, I looked for a 45mm x 49mm x 2mm optical manometer It was then that I stumbled upon a seller offering 10 rubber O-rings Around $5 for rings of the same size. The vacuum bottle now maintains a constant vacuum after being installed in the lid. In addition to docking one star to the manufacturer, I also docked one star for failure to supply the necessary products The bottle can be made fully functional by using a ring.

Take the time to read Unless you buy a separate sealing / oring / gasket, this is not an effective method
3/5

Take the time to read When the cap is removed from the bag, it does not seal properly As a result, brakes cannot be bled properly due to leaks and a lack of vacuum. Unless you source your own seal, oring, or gasket, you will need to source those yourself. This must have been intended to be sold incomplete, so I do not know why it would be. It is best to use EPDM or PTFE seals with DOT brake fluid. Common rubber seal materials such as Buna-N and neoprene are not compatible with brake fluid. The two most common membranes are Nitrile (Nitrile) A 45mm ID x 49mm OD seal groove is present. Despite this, it is quite difficult to find an o-ring 45mm ID x 2mm CS It is ringing. As an alternative, choose a 45mm ID x 1 size. The CS (Metric) ring is 5mm wide As an alternative, an AS568-compliant router is also possible In any case, this appears to be a terrific Capacity of this bottle is more than triple that of the one that comes with the hand vacuum.

You will not be able to seal it
3/5

If you remove the bag directly from the bottle, the bottle will not seal. In the case of the top, where it attaches to the base by thread, I will try to find an O-ring See if you can resolve the problem by using the ring (as pointers have suggested). In [EDIT], I purchased a 1 3/4 o There was an air leak, so we installed an o-ring. Despite the fact that this product is the product of a defective design when sold, I will not change my rating.

Several customers have said that it leaks air, and requires an O ring to seal it, which the vendor does not provide
3/5

There is a leak of air. It was necessary to purchase an O ring in order to fix an item that the seller clearly knows to be defective, but still sells it without a seal. It is shocking that someone would give a positive review to this item. I use the O ring and it works fine.

The bottle is made of plastic
4/5

The bottle is made of plastic. The app does what it is supposed to do. As soon as you try to use it with a hand vacuum pump to bleed or suction fluid through a line (like brakes, clutch, etc), it suckers as you pull. O- does indeed need to be present O-ring (Nitrile Rubber, uxcell Metric Buna-49 oval 49mm OD 45mm ID 2mm diameter Sealing Gasket, Pack of 10, Pack of 10 ) to make the lid seal snugly against the bottle. The order for those was placed on When I searched through the 2 and 3 star reviews and noticed these o-rings, I immediately bought them A cap that comes with this bottle fits perfectly on the rings.

I like the jar, but the pump isn't powerful enough
4/5

The little Mity I had has gone missing Both the 16 oz. jar and vac fluid jar are included. As soon as I needed it on Prime, it became available. I highly recommend this product as it works well with my Mity-type camera The following tools and bits can be used in the vacuum. One of the only 'problems' is that the bottle is too large for the little hand pump to generate enough By conventional bleeding, I was able to fill the jar to about two thirds full with fluid before vacuum bleeding. Using gravity worked fine where I was able to do so. This may have been a problem with the application rather than the jar itself.

This vacuum bottle is not vacuum-sealed
3/5

Other commenters have also said that it does not hold a vacuum. My reasoning for this has been figured out It's impossible to fully seat the lid on the bottle because it hits the ridge on the bottle. No matter how tightly you tuck it in, the ridge prevents it. My lid was sanded down a couple of millimeters so that the seal would hit the lip of the jar and my problem was.

Airtightness was poor and the quality was subpar
3/5

My mityvac has been working great for auto repair stuff for the past twenty years so I figured it would be better to use this for fluid flushes rather than my cobbled together homemade catch bottles. The bottle we are holding is not airtight! The top cannot be pulled up against the wall unless it is fully tightened. The solution I found was to cut a square piece from the disposable nitrile glove, cut a hole in it, and use it as a gasket that covers the top and threads on the bottle body. Then I tightened the top onto the nitrile. A vacuum would then be created, and a liquid could be drawn In other words, it works as it is supposed to. I find it disappointing to find that the plastic bottle top on a 13-buck plastic bottle from Mityvac does not have the same degree of precision or quality control as the one on a 99-cent soda bottle.
