Kc 15 vacuum pump

I just stumbled onto a KC15 vacuum pump made by Kinney. It has a 1 horse motor and is all but to heavy to get in the car by myself. Anyone have any thoughts of knowledge on this beast?

Looks like 12 CFM at 29" at a quick glance.

Thanks for the info. I found the same two pages but still did not find 12 CFM and 29". Next question is, how many taps can that work?

We were always told 1CFM per 100taps with an ideal setup and if there is no leaks. It would also depend on the length of the runs. there are alot of things that can affect the the rate.
