Vacuum Infusion Plug Line
The Vacuum Infusion Plug Line provides a straight pass-through for spiral hoses in the infusion setup. Its flat underside rests beneath the film and ensures a secure seal.
Spiral hoses are routed straight through the opening, while a separate provision on top allows for the connection of a resin line – making the Plug Line easy to integrate flexibly into different setups.
- Connection for resin feed on top; spiral hose is routed straight through
- Material: PP – chemical-resistant, dimensionally stable
- Media: epoxy and polyester resin
- Temperature: -20 °C to +90 °C, briefly +100 °C*

Advantages
- Straight-through design enables simple and organized integration into the setup
- Separate top opening for resin feed, independent of the spiral hose routing
- Suitable for GFRP, CFRP and other fibre-reinforced composite materials
Application
The Vacuum Infusion Plug Line is suitable for a range of applications in the manufacture of composite components by
vacuum infusion, in particular for the straight-line integration of spiral hoses into the setup.
Depending on component size, several Plug Line units are often combined in one setup.
Materials
The Vacuum Infusion Plug Line is designed for use with epoxy and polyester resin. The polypropylene (PP) used is
chemical-resistant and dimensionally stable within the usual infusion range.
Accessories
The matching Plug Adapter is also available as an accessory to the Vacuum Infusion Plug series.

Which Diameter Matters?
Two different dimensions matter for the Plug Line: on top, the hose for the resin feed is connected – here the outside
diameter (D1) is relevant, and it determines the item variant. In addition, the spiral hose is routed straight through the
connector and laid within the part; the dimensions of this pass-through (D2) can be found in the table.
Custom Solutions
Custom hose sizes and special solutions are also 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.
