Kit Contents©
1. 1/4” I.D. Tubing x 48” (Cut tubing to suggested lengths of 12” & 36”)

The Mityvac Liquid Transfer Accessory Kit contains lids for standard sized and wide-mouthed Mason jars and the required pieces of plastic tubing for transferring liquids. The
Mason jar lids make it easy to siphon oils, paints, chemicals, etc. in small volume applications.
Warning: The Mityvac pump was not designed to pump liquids through it. When transferring liquids, an intermediate container must be used to prevent the liquid
from reaching the pump. Should your pump become contaminated, disassemble, wash thoroughly with soapy water, allow to dry, lubricate with Silicone Oil (or Dot
5 Silicone based brake luid, or Vegetable Oil), and reassemble. Not following this procedure could damage your Mityvac pump.
Siphoning Procedure (Figure 1)
1. From the kit, select a lid that its your container. Tighten the lid or ring irmly onto
the container.
2. Connect the 12” piece of 1/4” I.D. tubing between the lid outlet marked “Pump”
and the vacuum port of the Mityvac pump as shown.
3. Push the appropriately sized tubing through the lid until about 3” extends through
into the jar. Place the other end in the liquid to be siphoned.
4. Place the container your are siphoning into below the level of the container you
are siphoning from. Pump the Mityvac vacuum pump until liquid is lowing into
the receiving container. The liquid will continue to low as long as the receiving
container remains lower than container of liquid being siphoned from.
5. When the desired amount of liquid has been siphoned, remove the long tubing
from the container where liquid is being siphoned from. Warning - Stop siphoning
before receiving container is completely full to avoid the possibility of liquid being
drawn into the pump.
Liquid Transfer Procedure (Figure 2)
The liquid transfer procedure uses the pressure feature of the Mityvac Dual Pressure
Vacuum pump to push the liquids from one container to another.
1. From the accessory kit, select a lid to it your container. Tighten the lid or ring to the
container.
2. Connect the 12” piece of 1/4” I.D. tubing between the lid outlet marked “pump” and
the pressure port of the Mityvac pump as shown.
3. Push the appropriately sized tubing through the lid of the container until the end of
the tubing is about 1/8” to 1/4” from the bottom of the container.
4. Put the other end of the tubing into the receiving container.
5. Ensure the pressure/vacuum selection knob is turned to pressure.
6. Pump the Mityvac pump until the desired amount of liquid has been transferred.
Slow down the pumping when the receiving container gets full, as the residual pres-
sure from the sealed container could cause the luid to overlow.
