  • $6.80 Pipe Tap
    1/4" or 1/8" NPT
    So many builders have asked me to add a tap to the catalog of parts needed for the press, that I just couldn't resist. This is the best pipe tap I could find for the money. I figured that since its going into plastic and it only will be used a few...
  • $29.50 PVC Reservoir Kit
    Vacuum Tanks
    These reservoir kits are for the Project: V2™ and Project: EVS™ vacuum presses. I've received several emails from builders on the west coast indicating that solid core schedule 40 pipe was not available in their area. So I'm...

  • $42.00 Vac Pro™
    Venturi Vacuum Generator
    The Vac Pro™ venturi device converts air from your compressor into vacuum. These venturi devices create 1.2 to 3.2 CFM of vacuum flow and produce 27.5" of Hg of pressure using only 80 PSI of compressed air. I have had no problem achieving full...
  • $20.75 Vacuum Controller Relay
    30 amp
    This heavy duty SPST relay will do the power switching for vacuum pumps up to 1 HP at 120VAC and 1.5 HP at 240VAC. This relay is used in conjunction with the vacuum controller for vacuum pumps that draw up to 30 amps. If your vacuum pump draws less...
  • $11.50 Vacuum Damper
    For Large Vacuum Pumps
    It's a good idea to add this vacuum damper to the vacuum controller if your vacuum pump pulls more than 4 CFM. This will prevent the vacuum controller from sputtering on and off at the end of a charge cycle by restricting the air flow to the vacuum...
  • $11.90 Vacuum Gauge - Heavy Duty
    1/4" NPT
    This industrial grade vacuum gauge has heavy-duty sensing elements and a stainless steel case for protection in harsh environments. A gauge like this offers greater accuracy than a general purpose gauge and is typically used in more demanding...
  • $24.90 Vacuum Pressure Controller
    1/8" NPT
    One of the most critical components you will need for the vacuum system is the vacuum pressure controller. The device measures vacuum pressure inside of the reservoir. It turns the vacuum pump on when the pressure inside the tank drops below a given...

  • $8.95 Vacuum Speed Control Valve
    1/4" NPT Bleeder Valve
    This brass component is used on non-cycling (contiunous-run) systems to control vacuum pressure by T-ing off the vacuum port of the pump. Alternatively, it can be placed on the exhaust side of the pump to control the speed of air flow through the...
  • $6.55 Vacuum Tube - Heavy Duty Braided
    3/8" ID
    This vacuum tubing has a braided reinforcement and is comparable to what many of the major vacuum press companies use (and at 1/2 their cost). This is a very heavy duty yet uniquely flexible tube that will last a lifetime. You can also find...
  • $0.95 Vacuum Tube (Black Hi-Flex)
    1/4" ID
