I bought some Tilia Vacuum sealed containers at a garage
sale. The vacuum connection is different from all the Foodsaver hoses that I have. The standard Foodsaver hose end will fit in the hole, but there's no seal around it, so no vacuum gets in ;-) https://imgur.com/AV9NAnX You have to push down on the red center and seal around it. I managed to get it to work with an O-ring and a brass fitting, but it's fiddly and I'll surely lose the loose parts before I need them. I've google searched Tilia and Foodsaver images, but not found any pictures of the hose end. Before I start trying to remember where I put the lathe tools to make one, it would be nice to see what a real one looks like. I thought about using a suction cup, but it would have to be quite flexible. Don't know how to drill a hole in soft material that will be clean enough to seal around the hose. Anybody got a picture or a verbal description of these vacuum connections? Thanks, mike |

Thanks, mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG0woyPyAyU Thanks, but if you'd read the part you snipped, you'd have known that the video shows the vacuum interface that's different from the one I pictured. Hence the question... |

Hence the question... Have you tried wrapping a little tape around the tube to make it bigger. |

I'm not asking for kludges, I'm asking if anybody knows what the REAL adapter made by Tila looks like. The container link got snipped. This is what it has to mate with: https://imgur.com/AV9NAnX |

The older ones with the white knob and red center (marked: open, vacuum, closed) have to be sealed with the large mason type jar sealer. It fits over the center of the container...attach the vacuum hose, seal, remove hose and jar adapter, turn center knob to closed.
