Product Description


Vacuum Quick Connect FittingsWe now have the ideal vacuum connection system for those who prefer to easily detach the braided vacuum tube from any of our vacuum press systems. I've tested more than three dozen connectors and found only one that holds vacuum. This is a three-component item which includes the quick coupler, barbed fitting for 3/8" ID vacuum tube, and 1/4" NPT brass attachment nipple. Individual parts are available using the option list shown above.

When ordered as the complete assembly, it is used in place of a 1/4" NPT x 3/8" barb fitting.

By ordering this product, you acknowledge that it will not be used for installation in a system that is intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking.



Does either part of this fitting have a built in valve to stop the flow of vacuum when disconnected?
This fitting does not have a valve inside.

Is this fitting the same as the lock-on connector used to attach the vacuum tube to the bag?
Yes, but in this product we're just highlighting the use of the connector as a means of detaching the hose from the vacuum press system.

Product Reviews

  1. Expensive and Worth Every Penny

    Review by Mike Fuchs

    Yes, these are a bit expensive. But I have been very impressed with the outstanding quality and durability of these fittings. They attach and detach smoothly and easily, and I have never had one leak (and I have at least 6 of these in use.) This is a far superior way to go as opposed to barbs and hose clamps.

    As with all the items I've bought from Veneer Supplies these are a very high quality item, and you can buy with confidence.

  2. No More Screw Drivers and Hose Clamps

    We are currently utilizing a vacuum chamber system for a series of molds that we use to form materials. Previously, we were using the old hose barb and hose clamp routine to switch from mold to mold. Life is simple now with the quick connect fittings I purchased from Veneer Supplies! No more screw drivers and hose clamps! These make switching set ups so much quicker and easier. Very friendly people here that follow up with a courtesy e-mail to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Don't hesitate to do business with this company and the friendly people who work there.

  3. Great Customer Support and Service

    This is exactly what I needed, and is an excellent quick disconnect! I ordered them late at night, the order was processed and shipped out on FedEx the next day. I got an email in the morning, another later in the day saying my order was complete and ready for FedEx to pick it up. I had sent an email to ask a question again at night, which was answered first thing the following morning. Ordering and checking out is simple and straight forward. So I would recommend this site and company for their great customer support and service.

  4. Tight Fit, No Leaks

    Review by Aaron Nicholson

    I've tried rigging quick connects from the hardware store for use on a vacuum chamber... it doesn't work (even after using a bunch of silicone) - but THESE do, and they're much, MUCH less expensive here rather than some of the other vacuum quick connects I've shopped around for online. One place sells them for $200 bucks a piece!

    Tight fit, no leaks, and easy to snap on and off. These are a great product for the price.
