SK2VV232-1 Standard vacuum hose This vacuum hose is a platinum cured silicone hose manufactured to the highest standard which has been developed specially for high temperature applications in autoclaves and ovens, rated to a temperature of 232 C. The internal steel spring prevents collapse under vacuum and pressure and prevents hose separation from the couplings. The external support spring prevents hose lacerations at the fitting ends, extending the hose life. The hose is extremely durable and long lasting, very flexible and user friendly. The hose has NO silicone loss meaning no contamination worries. Material type of hose: Silicone Material type of inner conduits: Steel spring Hose color: Green (Available in Black at special request) Internal hose diameter: 3/8 inch Outer hose diameter: 18mm End fittings: 1/4 inch male BSP Maximum use temperature: 232 C Maximum autoclave pressure: 10 Bar The length of the hose has to be chosen by 0,5m step. The maximum manufactured length is 25 meters. Recommended maintenance interval: 1000 hours based on operating temperatures up to Page 2 of 18
SK2VV232-2 Standard vacuum hose assemblies This vacuum hose assembly is made from platinum cured silicone hose manufactured to the highest standard (gives off no free silicone particles) and is fitted with stainless steel one-piece couplings. This thread-less system provides the highest vacuum performance, reliability and maximum flexibility when used in autoclaves and oven processes up to 232 C. Assemblies are fitted with internal and external support springs. Couplings are fully resealable, without removal from the hose. All couplings are manufactured to ISO B.

SK2VV232-3 QRC Socket Connector This Socket connector is for use in high temperature autoclaves and ovens, high temperature tooling and associated equipment. QRC Socket is female threaded connector. It is easly maintained by resealing without the need to be removed from the hose. Socket has a threaded female fitting, designed in the way to receive vacuum hose SK2VV232-1 and applied with our plug SK2VV232-4 and vacuum bag valve SK2VV232-7. All coupling parts are manufactured from stainless steel and Manufactured to ISO B. Material type of O ring seals: High temperature Viton 232 C Coupling size: 1/4 Treaded size: 1/4 inch female BSP Maximum use temperature: 232 C Maximum autoclave pressure: 10 Bar All end fittings are 100% vacuum tested after assembly. Socket can be delivered with any tread style (for example NPT) on special order. Page 4 of 18
SK2VV232-4 QRC Plug This plug is for use in high temperature autoclaves and ovens, high temperature tooling and associated equipment. From the vessel wall or tooling connection the standard plug or cartridge holder can be screwed or welded to form permanent connection to the vacuum line. The easy to remove cartridge plug is then connected into the holder. This can then be easily maintained by resealing or changed over to minimize downtime and maintenance. All QRC connectors are internally valved to seal when disconnected so when the plug and socket are disconnected, the air flow is shut off in the both couplings. This allows your valves to retain vacuum after the vacuum source has been disconnected. Parts can now be moved from the bagging area to the curing area without loss of vacuum. A Blanking Cap can be fitted for further protection. Plug has a threaded female fitting, designed in the way to receive vacuum hose SK2VV232-1 and applied with our Socket SK2VV232-3. Quick disconnect plugs are fitted with high temperature seals and are fully resealable. All parts are manufactured from stainless steel and Manufactured to ISO B. Material type of O ring seals: High temperature Viton 232 C Coupling size: 1/4 Treaded size: 1/4 inch female BSP Maximum use temperature: 232 C Maximum autoclave pressure: 10Bar All end fittings are 100% vacuum tested after assembly. Plug can be delivered with any tread style (for example NPT) on special order. Page 5 of 18
SK2VV232-5 Multi cartridge tree 3x1 The multi cartridge tree provides a multi-point connection for extra line capacity.

Quick disconnect plugs are fitted with high temperature seals and are fully resealable. All parts are manufactured from stainless steel and Manufactured to ISO B. Material type of O ring seals: High temperature Viton 232 C Coupling size: 1/4 Treaded size: 1/4 inch female BSP Maximum autoclave pressure: 10Bar Tree type 3 Connection 1 Inlet SK2VV232-51 3 x QRC 1/4 QRC 1/4 SK2VV232-52 3 x QRC 1/4 1/4 inch female BSP All end fittings are 100% vacuum tested after assembly Page 6 of 18
SK2VV232-6 QRC blanking cap The Plug Blanking Cap safeguards autoclave, oven and ambient vacuum connectors by blocking potential leak paths through unused vacuum connections and protecting the valve from pressurization. Autoclave pressure to vacuum line differential in excess of 3,5 bar will unseat spring loaded seals with quick disconnect plugs on the autoclave wall. This pressure ingress will reduce overall vacuum system performance, putting part quality at risk, it will also place a greater load on vacuum pumps reducing overall service life. Blanking Caps can also be used with vac-valves to insure against vacuum loss through storage or valve tampering. Quick disconnect blanking caps are fitted with high temperature seals and are fully resealable. All parts are manufactured from stainless steel and manufactured to ISO B. Material type of O ring seals: High Temperature 232 C Coupling size: 1/4 Maximum autoclave pressure: 10Bar All end fittings are 100% vacuum tested after assembly. Page 7 of 18
