A manifold assembly will allow a vacuum press user to attach multiple vacuum bags to a single vacuum pressing system at the same time. Below you will find 3 different kits that will allow you to maintain a vacuum in up to 4 separate bags.

To use a manifold system, you simply attach the lock-on connector from your vacuum press to the tank fitting on the manifold. Then attach one of the lines from the manifold system to the valve stems on a vacuum bag. When the first vacuum bag is ready for pressure, attach a vacuum line to it and open the corresponding vacuum valve on the manifold (be sure the other valve is closed). After the first bag is fully pressurized, close the first vacuum valve and attach another vacuum line to the second bag. Then open the second vacuum valve. When adequate pressure is achieved in the second bag, re-open the first valve. The vacuum press system will now maintain the desired level of vacuum pressure in both bags.
