This kit includes a base with the appropriate spindle size threaded insert, a 3" PVC coupling and a Chucky Vacuum Seal that slips on the end of the PVC Coupling. The kit simply threads onto your spindle.
The kit does NOT include the Vacuum Pump or any pump accessories.
The inserts are threaded aluminum and are available in the following spindle sizes 1"- 8 TPI,
1 1/4"- 8 TPI and M33-3.5 TPI.
The kit also includes a Spacer that prevents the insert from locking on the spindle.
3" to 2" and 3" to 4" PVC couplings with seals are also available.
