This hand-operated vacuum pump allows you to test the seals on a watertight enclosure without getting it wet.
The vacuum test doesn’t test at very high pressure, but it does give you the peace of mind that the enclosures are properly shut and airtight. We usually do this test after opening and closing an enclosure and before the first dive of the day.
The pump comes with everything you need to use it, including the Vacuum Plug.

Mityvac pump rebuild instructions (.pdf)
1. Remove the Vent Plug from the Vent bulkhead
2. Plug in the Vacuum Plug with connected hose and hand pump and pump to 10-15 inHg vacuum
3. Monitor the gauge for leaks for 5-10 minutes
If the vacuum pump becomes difficult to pump, disassemble it and lightly lubricate the inside of the pump body cylinder following the Mityvac rebuild instructions. Use a low-viscosity silicone oil such as Super Lube Silicone oil 100 CST.
