Vacuum Leak Kit

DIY Solution for Improving Vacuum Performance

If you want your freeze dryer operating at its best possible performance, addressing potential vacuum leaks is one of the most effective steps you can take. We strongly recommend that all machines undergo a vacuum leak fix, regardless of what onboard software may indicate.

The Vacuum Leak Kit provides the essential materials needed to complete this fix yourself—helping ensure the job is done correctly, thoroughly, and on your schedule. Donald has produced multiple step-by-step videos demonstrating how to perform this repair properly, making this kit an ideal companion for DIY maintenance.

Why This Matters

We have seen many cases where machine software reports “zero leaks,” yet after completing this fix, machines immediately begin performing as they should. In real-world testing, software readings may sometimes display lower micron (mTorr) values than what is actually occurring, masking underlying vacuum issues. This kit helps address those hidden problems directly.
