Re: Venturi Pump legality

I strongly suspect that you could get far more vacuum with a vacuum pump (fitted with an FRC-compliant motor) than Venturi behind a 1 cfm compressor. Another alternative would be a vacuum cleaner or a squirrel-cage fan with a duct sealed over the intake, either powered by an FRC motor; this would be less expensive, and the modification would probably be easier.
