Default need help with an AC vacuum line (where to get)

Can someone help me? I need a hose for this item:

http://www.harborfreight.com/air-vac...ors-96677.html

It goes from the R134 connector to the actual low pressure side of the AC. I need it to not have a check valve or anything, so that I can pull vacuum through it and condition the line so I can refill it. Does anyone have any ideas? Local places would be preferred.

thanks

your local HVAC shop should have a set in stock with gauges.
ive also seen them at some of the better mom and pop auto stores... also with gauges.

btw, I hope you have a large compressor and tank, because while that pump works, its an air hog. It works fine, but it REALLY uses alot of air.

Rent a Robin Air evac pump. I use a Blue Point. Real decent unit, but I do this **** often and it is a 350 pump. You should hopefully only need it once.

The local VatoZone's around here rent em'
