    Get an empty R123 cylinder and evacuate it.

    Connect it to the system and let the vacuum pull the R123 out.

    Repat with more cylinders if needed.

    R123 is a nasty refrigerant so it isn't quite that simple even though the theory is correct

    This method is not perfect.I recovered the R123 by push&pull method.

    So why did you ask the question and what quantity were you dealing with?
