Disc Connector In – for Vacuum Infusion
The Disc Connector In connects vacuum film and hose line in vacuum setups and vacuum infusion. The flat disc surface seals under the film, and grooves on the underside channel resin or air toward the central hose port.
Depending on the setup, the same Disc Connector serves either as a resin inlet or as a vacuum port – without changing the part.
- Grooves on the underside of the disc for improved resin or air flow
- Material: POM – rigid, wear-resistant, chemical-resistant
- Media: epoxy and polyester resin
- Application: vacuum & infusion in a single component
- Temperature: -40 °C to +90 °C, briefly +110 °C*
| Item No. | ⌀-Hose | PU | Material | D1 | D2 | H1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TV-08-100 | 8mm | 100 | POM | 8 mm | 34 mm | 35 mm |
| TV-10-100 | 10 mm | 100 | POM | 10 mm | 34 mm | 35 mm |
| TV-12-100 | 12 mm | 100 | POM | 12 mm | 43 mm | 43 mm |
Advantages
- One component for both vacuum and infusion applications – fewer part variants to stock
- Grooves improve resin or air distribution compared with smooth connectors
- Suitable for GRP, CRP and other fibre-reinforced composites
Application
The Disc Connector In is used in professional vacuum and infusion setups in composite manufacturing – from individual
resin-feed points to air extraction in pure vacuum setups.
Depending on component size, several Disc Connector In units are often combined in one setup, e.g. one central resin
inlet and several vacuum ports around the part edges.
Materials
The Disc Connector In is suitable for both epoxy and polyester resin. The POM used is chemically resistant to all
common resin systems as well as typical release agents used in composite manufacturing.
Which Diameter Matters?
With the Disc Connector In, the hose is pushed over the connection stub. The inside diameter of your hose determines
which version to choose. See the table for the available sizes.
Custom Solutions
Custom hose inside diameters and special versions available on request.
* Temperature resistance depends on the specific application and medium. The customer is required to verify the product’s suitability under the specific operating conditions.
