Explanation
For high-pressure appliances containing less than 200 pounds of refrigerant, recovery equipment made after November 15, 1993 must evacuate to 10 inches of mercury vacuum. The 15 inches Hg level applies to appliances holding 200 pounds or more. The lower 0 and 4 inches Hg levels apply only to older equipment made before November 15, 1993.
