@Tariq Curtis Some tyre inflators don't have inlet valve. The inlet of air in to the cylinder is through space between the piston and cylinder as the piston moves down. How can this type of tyre inflator be converted to vacuum pump. Thanks
I did the same thing with a Tank-Less Compressor I got from the dump. I had to use a glass jar as the vacuum chamber. I have a Powerstroke Diesel in my old van...need a suction pump to drain the HPOP Reservoir, or pay in the grands to repair.
Hi Tariq, congrats, so to summarize, basically, things made were: 1.- remove the valve's spring, 2.-block the air input tiny hole (with some epoxy or something), 3.-replace the gauge with sucking hoze is it that, or is the list missing something??
I have a portable Handy Vacuum Cleaner, which has the dual function of air suction & air blower. I am interested in making use of it as a Car Tyre Inflator. How can it be done & what adjustments do I need to make to it?
Interesting thanks for sharing. Do you think it would work as a vacuum pump if you just connected a small hose to that small inlet hole? You could attach it to the vertical part next to the hole and seal around the edges?
AirCommandRockets I Had already taken apart before I worked out a way to do that with this pump. But think about it. just took the other option. but to be honest doing it the way you suggested if i found a way may of resulted in a stronger vaccum.
Why didn't you just tap a thread into the inlet hole and attach a small piece of threaded pipe to connect the suction pipe to? Or even drill it round and epoxy in a small piece of pipe. I don't think you would have had to change anything else and you could still use it as a compressor.
+Tariq Curtis. Thanks. I was curious how long it lasted for your use. and if it is worth to get more expensive air compressor with inlet filter and just swap out the input and output Also. can you clarify.. when you put the plug back in at 5:06. you basically remove the spring?
I just finished this same exact thing and I am kinda bummed about the poor vacuum pressure. But I am not surprised since this pump model is cheaply made. I got another pump (black and decker air station) but I am unable to figure out how to covert it to a vacuum pump.
I have made a updated video of another method to convert to a vacuum pump. this is the link to my over video if it helps you...czcams.com/video/46xiisGrr60/video.html
Tariq Curtis That first tune, I think I recognise it......its from a game cube game called "Metroid Prime", just thought I would share my inner geek, amazing game for its time ;-) cool video though.

OK made a updated Video with changes to the hack, and some ideas that was suggested before and it works great , and still works as a pump too. oo and changed the music to with just mainly pictures.. czcams.com/video/46xiisGrr60/video.html
Shona O'Neill these are brushed motors. brushless motors need a control circuit to work and there isn't any circuit board shown here also if you look in that slot on the side of this style motor you will see the brushes.
This way hack is better than to glue a pipe where you glued a hole. You can vac/pres at the same time. Nice experiment Tariq 👍
Thanked friend Tarik Curtis now I can give another use the mini compressor. I have one just like it. From Caracas - Venezuela.
Great little hack. Need something like this

A small vacuum generator device hooked to your compressor will save your compressor from destruction

What good does the music do except drown out your freakin chatter, jeez.
Quick question
Where to get parts of this like piston ring..
I have a portable Handy Vacuum Cleaner, which has the dual function of air suction & air blower.
I am interested in making use of it as a Car Tyre Inflator.
How can it be done & what adjustments do I need to make to it?

+AirCommandRockets Did think of that but didn't have the bits around at the time. but may try that another time. or someone else can share that.
+Deep Six , 12v deep cycle 40amp hour. but also use 12volt power pack that is 4amp output
sounds good let me know the outcome or share your comment or video link. thanks
+AirCommandRockets
Spot on, thats how i would do it aswell.
Why didn't you just tap a thread into the inlet hole and attach a small piece of threaded pipe to connect the suction pipe to?
Or even drill it round and epoxy in a small piece of pipe.

Hi Tariq, just what you are using the vacuum pump for. I'm thinking of making one using space bag while camping to reduce space on bulky items.
+Leo-R Lee Hi it was just experimental no real reason.
+Tariq Curtis. Thanks. I was curious how long it lasted for your use. and if it is worth to get more expensive air compressor with inlet filter and just swap out the input and output
Also. can you clarify.. when you put the plug back in at 5:06. you basically remove the spring?
how did you power it
Oliver Smith with the same plug that was already on it...
He never changed the plug. Most of these are 12v compressors, so its just Pos and Neg

how did you power it
had a 12volt 4.5amp power supply
HI It was Powered using 12 volt with at least 4.5 amps I used a 240 volt to 12 volt power supply from a camping shop.

cant you just reverse the polarity
?
Hi! i was wondering which type and brand you used for the compressor.
+Anne Heerschop The compressor Was not branded, but cost $10 from Kmart Australia.
+Tariq Curtis Hi! I bought one and did all the changes. My problem is that both hoses are blowing air instead of one sucking the air in.
you will need a one way check valve,
I found one from a window washer pump from a car. that should stop the return on one side.
Couldn't finish watching. The music is so distracting!
marka what
Just reverse the polarity and it will take air in instead of out
+Aaron Mischke dork
That won't do anything...
No that wouldn't work :D
touka chan only if it's a brushed motor, they are brushless so won't work.

stopped watching, turn off music WHY DO PEOPLE ADD MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
