25 years Vacmobile Accessories Manifolds, vacuum regulators, tubing connections, vacuum probes, bag penetrations. High integrity vacuum manifold The Vacmobile multi-port vacuum manifold is machined from a solid aluminium block. Joints intended to be permanent are sealed and mechanically locked. Joints which may require access are O-ring sealed. A bracket is provided to allow wall mounting. Various connection options are available, including through-wall mounting via the rear of the manifold (see example on right). Optional components include swivel mount vacuum gauge, vacuum regulation, coarse internal filter, absolute gauge port, O-ring sealed tubing connections and a flexible silicone rubber connection hose. (Refer to RT19 resin trap brochure for information on our silicone hose kit.) Front view Rear view Vacuum regulation valve, O-ring sealed tubing connections and miscellaneous fittings All Vacmobile components are available as individual items. One example is our rugged and easy-to-use vacuum regulation valve with override button for quick vacuum release when adjusting the vacuum bag. This valve suits 3/4” BSPP/NPT threaded ports. Our O-ring sealed tubing connections can be retrofitted to existing resin trap lids to allow quick, reliable and mastic-free tube fitting – and unobstructed resin discharge from the tube. Connections are available to suit the following outside diameter tubes: 3/8” to 10 mm, ½” to 13 mm, 5/8” to 16 mm and 19 mm to 3/4”. The fittings may be screwed into 3/4” BSPP/ NPT threads, or inserted though 27 mm (1 1/16”) diameter holes. There is also a tubing gland which may be threaded into 3/8” BSPP only. Vacuum probe for dry spot repair When connected to a vacuum source, the probe can be inserted through the bag film to locally increase the vacuum level in a resin starved area of a laminate. As long as the surrounding resin hasn’t gelled, the evacuated probe will withdraw the air pocket and bring resin into the starved area. The probe may be supplied bare to suit 9.5 to 13 mm (3/8” to 1/2”) ID (inside diameter) tubing, or supplied complete with a disposable valve to suit 13 mm (1/2”) ID tubing. Instructions for using the probe are supplied. Vacuum regulation valve and O

Vacmobile Accessories Manifolds, vacuum regulators, tubing connections, vacuum probes, bag penetrations. Multi-part bag penetration fitting (NOT SUITABLE FOR INFUSION) The multi-part bag fitting is intended for vacuum bag penetrations where liquid resin will not come in contact with the fitting, e.g., when protected by bleeder cloth when vacuum bagging over wet laminate or pre-preg. The multi-part bag fitting is not suited to infusion applications, as it is too difficult to clean. The fitting is designed to directly suit 12.7 mm (1/2”) OD tubing. It can be simply adapted to other tubing sizes....
