Composites Vacuum Regulator

This high quality smc irv10 vacuum regulator is an ideal solution for anyone who needs to control the level of vacuum pressure in vacuum bagging and other processes.

Simply connect this regulator in line with one of our high quality Jayvac vacuum pumps using 6mm ID hose.

The reduction of pressure when vacuum bagging cosmetic parts decreases the amount of resin that is allowed to be soaked up by the breather fabric, giving a pin hole free finish. The amount of vacuum needed to get a perfect finish is down to a bit of trial and error, and depends on a few things, such as the size of the part and the amount of resin used. However, 20 -30% vacuum is always a good starting point.
The regulator has a maximum flow rate of 140 l/min and the push fit connectors can be easily replaced to suit your system.
