|
 |
Large Regulator / Filter |
| Industrial Environment Moisture Containment and Pressure Control |
This industrial style Regulator/Filter has a larger filter than our #2215-A and includes a metal shield to protect the polycarbonate cup. A thumb screw at the bottom allows for easy draining of any liquids that accumulate in the cup. . Install this Regulator/Filter in your line close to your air source to filter out any moisture or debris as well as to dial in and maintain your air pressure. This unit can be used on our #2229-A or #1148-A Vacuum Generators, any of our Gel Coat Spray Guns and our #171-A Chopper Gun. Max PSI 150.
Connection to our #171 Chopper Gun, #120 or #836 Gel Coat Spray Guns require a #2222 Male Nipple. Connection to our #123 or #126 Gel Coat Touch Up Guns require a #2223-A Female Nipple.

Quick Disconnect & Nipples |
| Connect Vacuum Components or Spray Equipment in a Snap |
This Quick Disconnect and the Male and Female Nipples can be used to turn setup and tear downs into a quick and convenient task. Setup of vacuum applications is significantly easier because all vacuum hose can be added at the last minute allowing more focus on the laminate itself. Some vacuum bagging applications will also benefit from the #2220 Brass Barb Fitting to quickly thread vacuum components turning your entire vacuum line into an easy quick disconnect operations.
For spray and chopper applications, our air hoses are already supplied with a quick disconnect fitting but require a nipple to attach to the gun. Connection to our #171 Chopper Gun, #120 or #836 Gel Coat Spray Guns require a #2222-A Male Nipple. Connection to our #123 or #126 Gel Coat Touch Up Guns require a #2223-A Female Nipple.

Brass/Plastic Barb Fittings |
| |
| ½” OD Barb Fittings can be threaded into the #891-A Through Vacuum Connector or other vacuum bagging components to reduce the use of hose clamps and/or permit the installation of Quick Disconnects. We supply the #901-A Plastic 1/2" OD barb fitting with all pumps and assemblies, but they might need periodic replacement. Additionally, the #2220-A Brass Barb Fitting is designed to handle harsh environments and should be used in production style applications. |
|
|
 |
Male to Male Fitting |
| |
| This fitting is used to connect the #2224-A Brass Two-way Shutoff Valve to the #2218-A Vacuum Gauge with T-Fitting, #898-A T-Attachment Assembly, #902-A Bleed-off Valve Assembly or an combination of male to male connections. |
|
|
 |
Plumbers Tape |
| |
| #2225-A Plumber’s Tape should be used for all brass fittings and threads to ensure a leak proof joint. |
|
|
 |
Hose Clamps |
| |
| Secure your tubing connections every time with these hose clamps. Continuous band construction will clamp tightly without cutting or digging into the tubing. Fits all of our vacuum tubing, spiral tubing and fittings. |
|
|
 |
Vacuum Gauge |
| |
| 2" diameter face with glass lens cover and easy-to-read markings allows measurement and thus permits control of vacuum pressure. Can be installed with either a #898-A, #902-A, or a #910-A connector. |
|
|
 |
Vacuum Gauge with T-Fitting |
| |
| This assembly allows you to easily monitor vacuum anywhere in your tubing line – put it where you want it! You can measure closer to the pump or right at the part. |
|
|
 |
Brass/Plastic Two-Way Shutoff Valves |
| |
| A simple way to reduce vacuum pressure by limiting flow through the line. This valve is installed to permit vacuum relief or to seal off a vacuum bag. The new brass two-way shutoff valve is an industrial style valve that will stand up to harsh shop environments. The valve can be used in the line or can be attached to the vacuum gauge with t-fitting, t-attachment assembly, or bleed-off valve assembly. |
|
|
 |
T-Attachment Assembly |
| |
| The easiest way to install a vacuum gauge. Permits installation at pump for readout of vacuum pressure.
|
|
|
 |
Vacuum Connector |
| |
| This 1/2" ID connector is all that is required to complete a basic installation. Place the connector through the bag, attach tubing, and you're ready to begin! |
|
|
 |
Thru-Bag Vacuum Connector |
| |
| When conventional air line is used as the vacuum tubing, this connector will fit the threaded brass hose end effectively coupling the pump and the bag. Also, to install a gauge inside the bag, a support connector is required. This connector supports and mounts the gauge in the bag to permit pressure within the bag to register. Fitting permits male to male connections. |
|
|
 |
Bleedoff Valve Assembly |
| |
| Permits installation of a vacuum gauge at the pump, but can introduce vacuum relief if reduced pressure is desired. |
|
|
 |
T-Fitting |
| |
| 1/2" OD permits multiple bags to be installed.
|
|
|
 |
Equal Angle Y Connector |
| |
| Serrated arms permit a tight fit in multiple bag applications. |

Thermal Gun |
| Know When Resin Has Begun and Finished Curing |
| This easy to use device reads surface temperatures from 0-575 degrees F to within 3 degrees. Simply point and pull the trigger for instant visual readings. Ideal for identifying when resin is curing and maximum exotherm is achieved. Aim at resin in your bucket or in your laminate and know exactly when it’s setting up. Model includes laser guide for pinpoint accuracy. 9V battery included.

Ultrasonic Leak Detector |
| The easiest way to find leaks |
| This time-saving device amplifies ultrasonic frequencies while filtering out background noise, making it ideal for pinpointing leaks during vacuum bagging or infusion. Headphones provide easy listening, while LED display meter indicates leak strength. Includes Ultrasonic Leak Detector, tubular extension adapter, tubular extension, parabola, headphones, and carrying case. Dimensions: 1” x 2.5” x 7.3,” Weight: 4.5 oz or 6.3 oz (with battery,) Requires 9V (included), Frequency response: 35kHz to 45kHz +6db.
