SW8944 Vac plate with elbow is a simple, purposebuilt vacuum plate that integrates an angled elbow fitting for direct hose connection. It provides a reliable vacuum port and clean hose routing in applications where a secure, accessible vacuum connection is needed. Key benefits Simplifies installation: the integrated elbow removes the need for separate fittings and adapters, saving time during setup or replacement. Better hose routing: the angled elbow directs vacuum hose away from the plate, reducing stress and the risk of kinks. Reliable seal and connection: designed to deliver a secure vacuum interface for consistent hold or suction where required. Compact and practical: minimizes clutter at the vacuum port and keeps connections organized and accessible. Primary attributes Functionality: vacuum interface plate with a builtin elbow fitting for hose attachment; intended to serve as a connection point between vacuum hoses and a vacuum surface or system. Compatibility: intended to work with standard vacuum systems and hose connections that match the elbow fitting; simplifies integration into existing vacuum setups. Construction: built for repeated use in environments that require frequent connection and disconnection; engineered to hold an airtight connection during normal vacuum operation. Performance: maintains consistent vacuum transfer through the plate and elbow when installed correctly and used with compatible components. Typical applications Vacuum fixtures and holddowns: use the plate to provide a clean vacuum connection point on a fixture plate or tooling setup where hose routing needs to be directed away from the work area. Equipment maintenance and replacement: convenient dropin replacement for worn or damaged vacuum plates or fittings; simplifies field repairs by combining plate and elbow into one part. Tightspace installations: the angled elbow helps route vacuum hose in confined areas where a straight connection would be impractical or create interference. Installation and use notes Position the plate so the elbow directs the hose clear of obstructions and allows a smooth hose path. Confirm hose and system compatibility with the elbow fitting before final installation. Inspect sealing surfaces and connections regularly to maintain vacuum performance. SW8944 Vac plate with elbow is intended for users who need a straightforward, integrated vacuum connection that makes hose routing and maintenance easier without adding separate fittings.
