Through bag Vacuum Infusion Port to fit 13mm hose
This port is designed to be used in vacuum bagging composite parts.
I use these ports in Vacuum Resin Infusion of Carbon Fibre.
They can be used in wet lay vacuum bagging as well as resin Infusion.
These port are re-usable.

I punch a 22.4mm (7/8") hole in my vacuum bag where I require the port to be located then I use a silicone disk (55mm with a 23mm hole) as a gasket between the bag and the lower part of the port and past the port through the hole and fasten the nut on the outside of the bag.
I tighten lightly with 27mm and 17mm spanners and attach my plumbing. I use 13mm low density irrigation poly pipe.
I rease wax the lower part of the port to make it easy to clean the resin off and I drill the dried resin out through the centre to reuse.
