BACOENG 3 Gallon Resin Trap Vacuum Chamber, Stainless Steel Vacuum Degassing Chamber Kit (3 Gallon/1.2 QT/2 QT Available)

Used with pump to remove moisture from fiberglass encased wood. Worked great.

Perfectly good resin catch pot for vacuum infusion. Held vacuum for 48 hours. The built-in vacuum gauge is convenient to have. If I ever need a bigger vacuum chamber I'll try this brand first. At $70 this is a good deal compared to other manufacturers that charge $100+.

Works well, but you might want to Loctite the fittings. They can loosen up over extended use like large resin infusions. Wish it was taller so a disposable solo cup would fit inside and more stable so I don't have to worry about it falling over.

Purchased this vacuum pot to use in changing fluids in my cars and trucks. When used with a Gast rotary vacuum pump at 26"Hg it will suck out 5 quarts of oil or transmission fluid through the filler tubes in just a few minutes. With the 3 gallon capacity I never have to worry about overflows or getting fluid sucked into my vacuum pump. It eliminates most of the risk of spills on my garage floor and makes changing fluids much easier and cleaner. It will also work great for bleeding brakes and of course degassing epoxy resins as that is what it was designed for. The lid seals well and the pot and fittings seem to be good quality so for the price I consider this a good value.

Resin trap is poorly designed and assembled from inferior components. Leaked from the first use. Relatively easy to isolate that this assembly is incapable of holding a vacuum. Vendor initially seemed responsive to helping address the resin trap's deficiencies, but quickly disappeared after a single e-mail requesting an order number to help "better solve the problem." Would not recommend this particular item and based on the lack of support would avoid any other products from Baco Engineering as well.

I used this as a cold trap for water, rather than resin. The vacuum gauge is accurate enough, but not as accurate as a digital gauge. The included tubes were very hand. This one is very nice, and just as good as a resin trap from BVV.

I'm using this for a fiberglass repair on my boat, and it's been working great. I hooked it up to my OMT vacuum pump, with 1/4 in hose on the outlet, and with a ball valve inline (not included) on the inlet hose. It held a strong vacuum all night when I tested it. Hooked up to my vacuum bagging port, I'm able to use the vacuum chamber as a vacuum reservoir, allowing me to turn of them pump while listening for leaks in the vacuum seal. It also includes a barb on the inside, so if you're using it as a resin trap, you can direct excess resin into a catch-pot inside the chamber. Included in the package was the pre-assembled lid with vacuum gauge, outlet with ball valve and thread for the included orange vacuum hose to the pump, and inlet with 1/4 barb fitting on the inside and outside. It also includes extra seals for the inlet, outlet and vacuum gauge ports.

The vacuum chamber witch I received was completely different from above. They sent to me a flat 1 gallon chamber in the case is not suitable for my applications! The vacuum chamber I wanted should be 2 quarts and has the intake and output very far one from another, but this has a t-connection and the intake can compromise the output. I was expecting a lid with 3 holes one for the gauge meter and 2 for input and output, now I will need to make a second hole in this lid by myself and and the shape of the bucket is not good for my needs! The product I received is very good and great quality, but its not the product I asked for.
