Edwards RV12F Two-Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump – 7 CFM, 115/230V 1-Phase PFPE Prepared (A65509906)
Edwards RV12F Two Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump – 12 m³/h, 115/230V 1-Phase 50/60Hz (Factory Set to 115V for USA), PFPE Prepared (A65509906)
The Edwards RV12F (part number A65509906) is a robust two-stage oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump from the popular 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 ideal for laboratory, university, and light industrial applications in North America.
With a pumping speed of 12 m³/h (approx. 7 CFM) at 60 Hz and an excellent ultimate vacuum of 2 × 10⁻³ mbar, the RV12F delivers high throughput, superior vapor handling, and quiet operation. The PFPE preparation allows safe use with inert PFPE oils (such as Fomblin® or Krytox®), providing outstanding chemical resistance where standard hydrocarbon oils would degrade rapidly.

Key Features and Benefits
- Two-stage rotary vane design for high pumping speed and low ultimate pressure
- PFPE prepared (F / FX version) — excellent for corrosive and aggressive chemical vapors
- Pumping speed: 12 m³/h (7 CFM) at 60 Hz
- Quiet operation at 48 dB(A) at 50 Hz
- Single-phase motor: 115/230V, 50/60 Hz, factory set to 115V for USA
- High vapor tolerance with adjustable gas ballast
- Advanced lubrication system for reliable long-term performance
- NW25 inlet flange for easy system integration
- Compact and rugged design suitable for benchtop or freestanding use
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Pumping Speed (60 Hz) | 12 m³/h / ~7 CFM |
| Ultimate Vacuum (without gas ballast) | 2 × 10⁻³ mbar |
| Motor Power | 0.55 kW (approx.) |
| Voltage / Frequency | 115/230V, 1-phase, 50/60 Hz (factory set to 115V) |
| Noise Level | 48 dB(A) at 50 Hz |
| Inlet Flange | NW25 (KF25) |
| Max Water Vapor Pumping Rate | High (excellent vapor handling) |

Why Choose the Edwards RV12F? The RV series is renowned for its versatility, high vapor tolerance, and reliability. The F (PFPE-prepared) variant extends pump life dramatically in chemical, pharmaceutical, or aggressive vapor applications. The USA-configured 115V single-phase setup makes it plug-and-play ready for most North American labs.
Applications
- Chemical and pharmaceutical vacuum processes
- Aggressive vapor handling
- Laboratory vacuum systems
- Vacuum drying and degassing
- Mass spectrometry and analytical instruments
- Refrigeration service and light industrial use
What's Included
- Edwards RV12F Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump (A65509906)
- Initial fill of standard oil (for testing/break-in)
- NW25 centering ring and O-ring
Important Notes:
- PFPE oil (Fomblin® Y VAC 06/6 or equivalent) is not supplied and must be ordered separately for corrosive service.
- Power cord is typically not included (standard USA 115V plug recommended).
