I have rather stupidly got alot of epoxy on the Black vaccum attachment on the top of my catchpot. (the one which the infusion line goes into) I can't see it as a listed spare do you have them or can you give me a place I can buy one.
I have dissassebled the part cleaned down but can't hold a full vacumn
Thanks

I may go for a setup with homemade "quick-connectors" -- I'll post a thread ..
The big advantage of the "through-hose" grommet setup is that you just replace the cheapo plastic vacuum hose..
The downside is that the plastic hose gets squeezed by the rubber grommet inside the "black fitting" The solution to this is to push a short length of metal tubing of the right size inside the plastic hose..
Then the "hose through" setup is easy to get vacuum tight ..

Ooo. The tube inside the tube idea is superb! Thanks for posting this. I find getting a good vacuum seal on this connection to be difficult- I'd go so far as to say that it let's down an otherwise excellent setup - although I can see why it's one this way.
What size metal tube do you use?
