Vacuum Probes

Vacuum probes (also called vacuum valves, pucks, sniffers, etc.) are an efficient means of providing a threaded connection through different bagging materials and tooling. Torr manufacturers all of the probes shown here to meet the variety of our customers' requirements. In addition to complete assemblies, Torr also sells the individual components that make up the assemblies (tops, gaskets, bases, etc.). Please refer to our Price List for more details.  
   

304114 Standard 1/4" Probe
Made for nylon and other thin film bags, this is our most popular vacuum probe. Construction is machined aluminum and installs with a simple 1/4-turn. Probe has 1/4" male npt top with wrench flats and a round base with non-pinch design. Includes top, .125" silicone gasket, and base. Click here for installation instructions.
Dimensions: 2.38" dia x 1.65" tall

   
304124 Standard Probe with Rectangle Base
1/4-turn aluminum vacuum probe with rectangular base that can fit into spaces too large for a standard round base, and you can install the base after sealing the bag. Cut a slot just wide enough for the base to slip into, insert the base and rotate it so the slit is aligned with the length of the base, then install the top as normal. Includes 1/4" male npt top with wrench flats, .125" silicone gasket, and rectangular base with non-pinch design.
Dimensions: 1.24" x 3.50" x 1.61" tall
   
304334 Filtered Vacuum Probe
1/4-turn machined aluminum vacuum probe with filtered base. Filter will block a limited amount of resin and still maintain flow.
