Transparent Inlet Vacuum Traps

VacOil® clear vacuum traps feature a transparent sump for easy identification of contaminates. Each trap contains a replaceable insert that traps foreign particles and vapors, keeping them from getting where they shouldn't be. Corrosive chemicals are trapped before they can damage the pump. Different type elements will trap particles, water vapors, oil vapors and reduce oil backstreaming. Replaceable trap elements are interchangeable within the same size housing. Housing materials include a polypropylene head and a clear acrylic styrene sump.
