Edwards RV3F Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump PFPE Prepared – 2.6 CFM, 115/230V 1-Phase 50/60Hz (Factory Set to 115V for USA), (A65209906)

The Edwards RV3F (part number A65209906) is a compact two-stage oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump from the RV series, specially PFPE prepared (F / FX version) for handling corrosive, aggressive, or reactive vapors and chemicals. This single-phase model is factory set to 115V for USA operation (switchable to 230V) with 50/60 Hz compatibility, making it an excellent plug-and-play choice for North American laboratories, universities, and light industrial applications.

With a pumping speed of 2.6 CFM (3.9 m³/h at 60 Hz) and an excellent ultimate vacuum of 2 × 10⁻³ mbar, the RV3F delivers reliable performance, high vapor tolerance, and quiet operation in a small footprint. The PFPE preparation allows safe use with inert PFPE oils (such as Fomblin® or Krytox®), providing superior chemical resistance where standard hydrocarbon oils would degrade quickly.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Two-stage rotary vane design for good ultimate vacuum and high vapor handling
  • PFPE prepared (F / FX version) — ideal for corrosive and aggressive chemical vapors
  • Pumping speed: 2.6 CFM (3.9 m³/h) at 60 Hz
  • Very quiet operation at 48 dB(A) at 50 Hz — perfect for benchtop lab use
  • Single-phase motor: 115/230V, 50/60 Hz, factory set to 115V for USA
  • Adjustable gas ballast for improved handling of condensable vapors
  • Advanced lubrication system for reliable long-term performance
  • NW25 inlet flange for easy system integration
  • Compact and lightweight design suitable for benchtop applications
