Fieldpiece Wins BIG at the 2022 Dealer Design Awards

Fieldpiece is committed to delivering quality tools to help HVACR pros do their job easier, faster, and better. Fieldpiece solves real-world industry problems with rugged, feature-rich tools designed for HVACR pros by HVACR pros; and we offer more than 200 game-changing products spanning meters to manifolds and vacuum pumps to recovery machines that do just that.

So, when we are recognized by our peers for putting better, smarter tools into the hands of the hard-working people we serve, it just doesn’t get much better than that. Right now, we’re celebrating not one, but TWO, big wins at the 2022 Dealer Design Awards!

Now in its 18^th year, the Dealer Design Awards is hosted by ACHR News and was created to recognize contractor-oriented products and tools with features that support the installation, maintenance, and overall service needs of the HVACR industry. An independent panel of contractors judged more than 132 entries to determine this year’s winners.

Hand Tools Category: Fieldpiece 10 CFM Vacuum Pump, VPX7 brings home the silver!

Fieldpiece recently released its latest generation of vacuum pumps, which included the VPX7, VP87, and VP67. These workhorses not only cut evacuation time, helping techs complete more jobs in a single day, but all feature four in-line ports and our RunQuick® Oil Change System patented technology. The patented technology helps technicians make oil changes on the fly, without vacuum loss or a mess.

In addition to these advanced features, the VPX7 sets itself apart with a 10 CFM, ¾ HP DC motor, and its slight lightweight build! Weighing only 24 lbs., this reliable, rugged vacuum pump is the lightest in the industry so that techs can climb up and down ladders more easily than ever before.

Electronic Tools Category: Fieldpiece Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector, DR82 is honored with bronze!

With a giant backlit display showcasing the info techs need with easy-to-read bar graphs, numeric readings, and customizable dual alarms – it’s no wonder the DR82 was recognized as a winner.

The DR82 is built tough, with long-lasting sensors, a lighted tip, and fine-tuned sensitivity that will catch even the smallest leak without triggering on annoying false positives. It does give technicians superior sensitivity in the field (<0.03-ounces per year – that’s 20 times more sensitive than soap bubbles) and detects all HFC, CFC, HCFC, HFO, and blends.

Ergonomically, it is designed to easily fit in your hand and is rugged enough to handle the demands techs face in the field every day.

Plus, it’s built to work all day and all night with batteries that get 10 hours of use per charge.

Fieldpiece Patented Technologies – Designing Innovative HVACR Tools with HVACR Techs at the Forefront.

If you know Fieldpiece, you know we’re always working hard to help HVACR pros do their job easier, faster and better. We want to bring you higher efficiency and increased productivity with our HVACR tools, and we’re proud to say that our hard work has paid off in the form of industry accolades and game-changing patents.

Two of our most recognized patents techs rave about are our Rapid Rail® Sensor Technology and RunQuick® Oil Change System.

Rapid Rail® Sensor Technology

Let’s start with our Rapid Rail® Sensor Technology. This advanced technology is featured in the Job Link® System Premium Pipe Clamp Probe, JL3PC; and in the two largest pipe clamps in the industry, measuring up to 4^1/8” – the Large Pipe Clamp, TC48 and the wireless Job Link® System Large Pipe Clamp, JL3LC. Previous technology measured temperature with readings affected by the ambient air and  moisture. Rapid Rail® Sensor Technology perfected the process – only giving accurate readings.

With two sensors, one on either side of the pipe clamp tool, the electrically conductive pipe itself completes the circuit on both sides, giving the tech a stabilized and accurate reading within five seconds. And, as the tech adjusts the system with the clamp attached, they can instantly see temperature changes as they happen in real time.

RunQuick® Oil Change System

Our second most notable patent is for the RunQuick® Oil Change System. This allows techs to change the oil on a vacuum pump without turning off the pump or losing vacuum. In less than 20 seconds, a tech can swap out the old oil and add in new oil.

During an evacuation, once oil has become cloudy, that means it could be saturated with moisture or contaminants. This signals that it needs to be changed or you’ll experience longer system evacuation times. Fieldpiece pumps equipped with the RunQuick® Oil Change System like the Fieldpiece Vacuum Pumps, 10 CFM VPX7, 8 CFM VP87 and 6 CFM VP67 also include a large oil viewing window that allows techs to see the oil condition, so they know when it’s time for a quick change. The days of not changing oil to avoid the mess or the hassles are things of the past. 

Add any of these HVACR tool innovations to your bag to get ready to work more efficiently and more effectively.
