In this article, we first extend the construction of random interlacements, introduced by A.S. Sznitman in [14], to the more general setting of transient weighted graphs. We prove the Harris-FKG inequality for this model and analyze some of its properties on specific classes of graphs. For the case of non-amenable graphs, we prove that the critical value $u_*$ for the percolation of the vacant set is finite. We also prove that, once $\mathcal{G}$ satisfies the isoperimetric inequality $I S_6$ (see (1.5)), $u_*$ is positive for the product $\mathcal{G} \times \mathbb{Z}$ (where we endow $\mathbb{Z}$ with unit weights). When the graph under consideration is a tree, we are able to characterize the vacant cluster containing some fixed point in terms of a Bernoulli independent percolation process. For the specific case of regular trees, we obtain an explicit formula for the critical value $u_*$.
