hey guys, i have a question about my vacuum pump.  

i use a VE115SV pump for degassing resins and rubber.  i bought this vacuum system in a local shop (1.5cfm, ultimate vacuum 5pa and 1.4hp)

Is it an idea to change the bush (where the pink silicone hose is connected to) to a Y connector?  the goal will be to use this pump also for vacuum bagging moulds before infusion.  i only want to make small parts (starters are 10 x 10 cm parts). 

I would like to purchase the easycomp catch pot (and parts / consumables), will this match?
