•5 year Limited Warranty*, on vacuum gauge
•The TIGAR MiC™ gauge is an easy-to-read 2.5″ / 6 cm diameter analog 30,000-micron dial with 200-micron increments.
•The gauge dial follows the trend back to reliable analog readouts utilized world-wide in industrial applications, all classes of vehicles, and test instruments.           
•Instead of static digital readouts, vacuum readings are displayed progressively and can’t be skewed by moisture/oil contamination.
•An isolation ball valve prevents gauge damage in the event of recovering refrigerant accidentally before obtaining a vacuum.
•No power or batteries are required.

Application: Evacuation: Cliplight Tigar Mic™

Yea - I know I preach about digital, digital - digital. Used one of these Cliplight Micron Gauges yesterday - loved it. And there may actually be benefits to being able to reference analog needle movement during the evacuation process as opposed to a digital readout. Thought I’d pass along the information on this little gem.


Available at all distributors that feature Cliplight products, the TIGAR MiC™, is a mechanical analog display deep vacuum micron gauge kit that increases vacuum measurement accuracy because it connects directly to a refrigeration system’s low-side charging valve, without hoses.
