Say Goodbye to Oil Filter Hassles with HV-Flex
The incredible HV-Flex offers a powerful and efficient way to quickly extract the oil trapped within spin-off filters during routine maintenance. This unique tool helps reduce labor costs, increase productivity, and cut down on waste. This technique eliminates the necessity for messy and time-consuming manual oil removal while increasing safety standards. Given oil’s propensity to accumulate rapidly in filters, this revolutionary extraction device is essential for businesses that regularly work with oil changes. The HV-Flex is an efficient, reliable product designed to extract all types of liquids, especially those with a high viscosity. It features special hose fittings with highly effective extraction capabilities for spin-off filters. This makes the HV-Flex the perfect choice for professionals working in the automotive, marine, and aviation industries that need to quickly and safely extract oil, diesel fuel, and hydraulic fluid filters from vehicles. The HV-Flex supplies a selection of diameters to suit your filter size, so you don’t need to look any further! With the reliable and robust performance of HV-Flex, it’s never been easier or quicker to take care of oily substance excretion needs. This cutting-edge process will not only expedite recovery efforts but also improve operational efficiency and make a positive contribution to our environment. By leveraging the tremendous power of high-velocity fluid extraction, one can reuse recycled oils instead of being thrown away. Motor oil is an essential component, and thankfully it neither wears out nor expires. In fact, research estimates that when used engine oils are re-refined into base stocks, refiners require less energy to produce a single gallon of oil than when utilizing crude oil. This discovery provides us with the opportunity to reduce our environmental impact by taking advantage of this process whenever possible. In conclusion, the HV-Flex offers extraordinary benefits for enterprises that need to service oil filters - from conservation of resources and time savings to an intuitive design with top safety features. This remarkable combination of features makes it an easy decision for any repair shop or business that wants to upgrade its operations and make a valuable addition to its toolbox. Our tools are used in industries where spin-off oil, diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid filters are used. Our fluid extractor tools are made in the USA. NOTE: The HV-Flex must be used in conjunction with a commercial vacuum pump (not included). |

Reviews
Have been using the Tempest oil filter drain in our shop for the last few years. This tool is much better built and using vacuum it does a great job. I recommend positioning the hole as close to the bottom to remove the maximum amount from the filter. Since most Lycoming filters are horizontal, a towel just in case there are a few drops is a good idea. I purchased one for my personal truck as well and had great results with it too. Mess free oil change.
Update to review posted on August 14, 2024: I also found that in tight spaces it helps to remove the clamp wing nut with an AN315-4R nut and use a deep socket with a long (as required) extension or a nut driver handle.
The fluid extractor works as advertised. The only problem I had was it didnt fit the aircraft filter with the spacer that came on it. I had to remove the spacer to make it work. I replaced the spacer with one half as long and it worked just fine. Also, the first time I used it the black nipple on the end came off. They are just glued on and I think the oil softened the glue and it popped off. I was able to get it to stay on tight with a mini zip tie. I had to use a zip tie gun to get it tight enough to secure it. I zip tied both ends. Other than those 2 items it worked just fine. I have a client that likes to help me with the oil changes on his airplane and he never can seem to hit the plastic bag so I got this just for him. I also want to try it on the Cont IO-360 and IO-550/520 motors that have messy oil filters.
