HCS1440-001 – Smart Valves (Flat Surface)
Our SMART Vacuum Valve Connectors set a new benchmark in composite processing. Engineered for flat and single‑curved surfaces, they outperform every through‑bag connector on the global market. Built from high‑temperature stainless steel with zero leak‑prone parts, they deliver unmatched durability, reliability, and universal compatibility across standard vacuum systems.
We have two types of Smart Valves: one designed for flat surfaces (HCS1440‑001) and a smaller one designed for single‑curved surfaces (HCS1440‑002).
- Cost-saving due to processing time reduction
- Cost-saving due to the service life of this stainless steel
- Cost-saving by no maintenance on the single-part vacuum connector or valve
- Made from stainless steel, resistant to very high cure temperatures
- Remains stable and upright once mounted with heavy vacuum hoses
- No need to cut any vacuum bag
- Does not TILT in an autoclave setting in a venting situation or sudden vacuum loss
- No personnel are required to keep the valve upright during the first stages of building up a large vacuum bag table area for autoclaves
- There is no risk of losing base plates compared to standard vacuum bag connectors on the market
- Can be hooked up in arrays to vacuum bag large parts
- Allows worldwide standard Quick dis-connect connectors /couplings and gauges to be connected to the Smart Valve or vacuum bag connector
