Product Summary
The Appion MGABRO MegaFlow Basics Evacuation Kit pairs a 6 ft, 1/2" internal-diameter MegaFlow vacuum hose with a vacuum-rated 5/16" valve core removal tool (MGAVCR). Together they eliminate the two biggest restrictions in a typical evacuation: the Schrader valve core and the narrow 1/4" charging hose.
Built for 5/16" access ports used on many R410A ductless mini-split systems, the kit opens more than 90% of the access port's internal diameter and delivers up to 16x the flow of a 1/4" hose. Appion test data on a 10-ton system shows a pull-down to 500 microns in about 3 minutes with the 1/2" hose and core removed, versus roughly 40 minutes through a 1/4" hose and valve core.
Key Features
- Up to 10x faster evacuations: removing the core and running a 1/2" hose cuts pull-down time dramatically compared with a standard hose setup.
- Vacuum-rated to 20 microns: every hose and core tool is evacuated and tested after production so the kit holds a deep vacuum without leaking.
- Full-bore core removal: the 5/16" MGAVCR opens over 90% of the access port's internal diameter for maximum flow.
- 16x more flow: the 1/2" MegaFlow hose moves up to 16 times more vapor than a restrictive 1/4" charging hose.
- Flexible large-diameter hose: the ultra-flexible 1/2" hose routes easily in tight spaces and resists collapse and permeation under vacuum.
- Magnetic core retention: the core tool features a magnetic base and adjustable tip to capture and reinstall valve cores cleanly.
- No manifold required: connect directly from the system to the vacuum pump on 2-port systems for an unrestricted flow path.

What's Included
- (1) MegaFlow 1/2" hose, 6 ft, 3/8" FL x 1/4" FL, black (MH120006EAK)
- (1) MegaFlow vacuum-rated valve core removal tool, 5/16" (MGAVCR)
Compatibility
Fits systems with 5/16" access ports. Works with any vacuum pump that has a 3/8" or 1/4" flare inlet, including the Appion TEZ8. Two MGABRO kits (or one each of MGABAS and MGABRO) can be added to the Appion SPDKIT-V Vacuum Speed Kit for multi-port evacuations.
Ideal Applications
- Ductless mini-split evacuations on 5/16" service ports
- Post-install and post-repair deep vacuum and dehydration
- Service technicians who want to cut evacuation time on every call
- Building a modular MegaFlow evacuation setup with a micron gauge such as the Appion AV760
