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.)

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.t
