What is the DVP LC 2?
The LC 2 is part of DVP’s LC range — 2 m³/h, ultimate 10 mbar, very quiet at 48 dB(A). Oil-sealed rotary vane pumps like this one are the workhorses of industrial vacuum: the oil seals the clearances, lubricates the vanes and carries away heat, which is what lets a single-stage rotary vane pump hold a steady working vacuum under continuous duty.
Standard equipment on the DVP LC 2
- Oil check valve
- Exhaust mist eliminator
- Gravity oil recovery valve
- Rotor and pump body NPO treated for oxidation resistance
- Thermal protector (single-phase only)
- Integrated check valve isolating the system when stopped under vacuum
- FKM gaskets for a hermetic seal and long service life

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the LC 2 (part number 9601069). Noise is measured to UNI EN ISO 2151. Need the pumping speed at your actual working pressure rather than the nominal figure? Ask us for the curve.
How does the DVP LC 2 compare with the rest of the LC range?
The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP LC 4 and DVP LC 4B. If you are between sizes, size on the volume to be evacuated and the time you have to do it in, not on the nominal figure alone.

DVP LC 2 supply, spares and servicing from Girovac
Established in 1983, with more than 40 years in the industrial vacuum sector, Girovac supplies, services and stocks spares for DVP vacuum pumps from our workshop in North Walsham, Norfolk. We can supply the LC 2 new, source genuine DVP spares, and repair, service or recondition DVP pumps.
Routine care is straightforward: keep the oil clean and topped up, change it on schedule, and keep the inlet filter clear. Most cases of a not reaching ultimate vacuum come down to tired oil or a leak rather than a worn pump. See our DVP vacuum pump service guide for the full routine.
We do not list prices online. Every LC 2 is quoted to your application, duty cycle and phase requirement, including delivery to anywhere in the UK. Contact us for a quote on price, availability and technical advice.
Frequently asked questions
What is the DVP LC 2 used for?
DVP lists the LC 2 for vacuum packing machines, surgical extraction for dentistry and hospitals, mixing and dosage of resin for dentistry, silk-screen printing machines, automatic feeder machines for book-binding, wood presses and drilling machines for the construction industry.
What vacuum does the DVP LC 2 reach?
The LC 2 reaches an ultimate pressure of 10 mbar absolute, operating continuously across 500 to 10 mbar (abs), with a nominal pumping speed of 2 m³/h (50 Hz) / 2.5 m³/h (60 Hz).
What oil does the DVP LC 2 take?
The LC 2 uses DVP SW40 rotary vane pump oil, with a charge of 0.065 dm³. Change it when it darkens or the achievable vacuum drops off. Girovac stocks genuine DVP oil.
Is the DVP LC 2 single-stage or two-stage?
The LC 2 is a single-stage, oil-lubricated (oil-sealed) rotary vane vacuum pump. Single-stage pumps of this type typically reach the 10⁻¹ mbar region; for deeper vacuum you would need a two-stage pump.
What motor does the DVP LC 2 have?
The LC 2 is rated at 0.12 kW (single-phase) / 0.12 kW (three-phase) at 50 Hz and weighs 5.4 kg. Tell us whether you need single-phase or three-phase when you enquire.
How much does the DVP LC 2 cost?
Girovac quotes the LC 2 on application rather than listing a price, because cost depends on phase, accessories and delivery. Contact us and we will come back with a firm price and lead time.
Can Girovac service or repair a DVP LC 2?
Yes. Established in 1983, with more than 40 years in the industrial vacuum sector, Girovac supplies, services and stocks spares for DVP vacuum pumps from our workshop in North Walsham, Norfolk. We service, repair and recondition DVP pumps including the LC 2, and stock genuine spares.
More DVP options and documentation
Download the original DVP LC 2 manufacturer datasheet (PDF). Check the model columns, supply frequency and operating conditions before comparing values.
What other DVP equipment should I consider?
Depending on the duty, compare DVP LC 205, DVP LC 305, DVP CPA Duplex. These are different configurations, not automatic replacements. Check working pressure, flow, gas load and installation requirements. Browse the complete DVP range for more options.
How should I measure vacuum on this installation?
For rough-vacuum duties, review industrial vacuum dial gauges; for pump-down measurement into lower pressures, compare Pirani vacuum transducers. Match the instrument range and gas compatibility to the operating pressure. We can also quote vacuum gauge calibration at the relevant test points.
Can Girovac help with a complete system?
Send the required pressure, simultaneous demand and control requirements when discussing industrial vacuum systems. Consider pumps, pipework, filtration and instrumentation together.
