My question is what cable do you use to attach the pump and chamber together?

Kinda got a big problem here! I recently spend over 500£ on a Robinair 15601 master cool and have yet to be able to use it a month on! My problem is I really don’t know what cable will connect the pump too my chamber! I have a refrigator cable which connects but it is naff and I can’t pull a full vacuum with it as it’s letting out air somewhere! I have pulled a 0.086 vac but still not a full one! I have tried everything I’ve superglued the cable where I Think the air is coming out but still no look! I used a 100£ pump before hand and This connected easy and pulled brilliant vacs just using a see threw cable with 2 connectors on the end! I feel like the vacuum is way more than cable of pulling a full vac? Is the cable my problem? This is really frustrating me soo any help is welcomed

I infer that by cable you are referring to the hose. We either use a AC hose, or have one made from carbon filled PTFE hose with a stainless overbraid and JIC fittings.
