The Vacuum Pump Accessories category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to remove air or vapour, lower pressure and support filtration, evaporation, drying, aspiration and gas-transfer processes. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately.
Pump technology, chemical resistance and ultimate vacuum must suit the application, otherwise performance can fall quickly or vapours can damage the system. The practical choice therefore depends on ultimate vacuum, pumping speed, chemical resistance, and vapour load, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A complete vacuum path links the pump with compatible tubing, traps, valves, controllers and exhaust handling selected for the vapours and pressure range. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in chemistry, filtration, freeze drying, rotary evaporation, sample preparation and analytical laboratories. As part of the Vacuum Pumps and Drying Equipment for Labs range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Vacuum Pump Accessories Range
Our collection covers selecting the right size flanged tubing nozzle, it important to use vacuubrand-specific oil, when to use metal tubing instead of flexible vacuum hoses, and benefits of aluminium clamping rings, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Selecting the right size flanged tubing nozzle
The selection depends on both your pump's inlet/outlet size (e.g., DN 16, DN 25) and the internal diameter of the vacuum hose you are using. Vacuubrand offers a variety of combinations to ensure a secure fit. For routine and specialised work, assess ultimate vacuum, pumping speed, and chemical resistance. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
It important to use Vacuubrand-specific oil
Vacuubrand oils, such as Grade B, are specially formulated to meet the exact thermal and chemical requirements of their high-performance pumps, ensuring optimal ultimate pressure and extending the lifespan of the internal components. For routine and specialised work, assess pumping speed, chemical resistance, and vapour load. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
When to use metal tubing instead of flexible vacuum hoses
Metal tubing, like the Vacuubrand KF DN10 series, is ideal for permanent setups or applications where high vacuum stability and resistance to collapsing under pressure are critical. Selection should take account of chemical resistance, vapour load, and control method. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Benefits of aluminium clamping rings
Aluminium clamping rings provide a lightweight yet highly durable and chemically resistant method for securing KF (Small Flange) joints, ensuring a reliable vacuum seal that can be quickly assembled or disassembled. The most suitable format depends on vapour load, control method, and connections and maintenance. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
