Arid,
I stuck the hose from hand pump into the Foodsaver vacuum hose and that to
the jar adapter. The hose is the same diameter for both the hand pump and
the Foodsaver, so all that is needed is the jar adapters available at
htttp://www.foodsaver.com . To use the hose supplied with the hand
pump you will need to make an adaptor which can be done with a short piece
of smaller diameter hose which will fit inside the hand pump hose and the
hole in the adaptor.
I also used a one gallon shop vac with the Spacebag experiment. The nose
fits over the valve quite nicely.
However, I have found the space bag is not very durable. I have used mine
once or twice before they failed, but for the purposes of evacuating the
press closure Ziploc, even a leaker will work.

I have a Actron hand powered vacuum pump i bought for another purpose
(CP7830). It comes with a gage. I hooked it up to the Foodsaver and
found the Foodsaver pump pulls a vacuum down to 25 in Hg.

Where did you connect to the vacuum lines.?
Did you have to completely dismantle it?
If you did dismantle it, how did you get the seal function to continue
working?
