Bag/vacuum film connector

A bag connector is a high-performance, reusable vacuum bagging accessory designed to form a secure and airtight seal between the vacuum bag and the pump through the tube. It can withstand demanding environments, and is ideal for both plain vacuum operations and autoclave processes. It features a two-part design: one half is placed inside the vacuum bag, while the other remains outside. A small hole or slit is made in the vacuum bag, allowing the connector's mandrel to pass through. The two parts then twist together, compressing a rubber gasket to form a leak-proof vacuum seal. Offering a fast and reliable connection between the vacuum pump and the bag, it ensures long-term performance under pressure and repeated use, making it a useful component for composite manufacturing across various industries.
