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 |
