Product Information

Full details

The Vitrex Vacuum Suction Cup is an essential tool for professional tilers, stone masons, and glass installers who require a reliable way to lift and position large, heavy materials. Its primary strength lies in its high 110kg load capacity and a built-in safety indicator that provides peace of mind during delicate handling tasks. While highly effective, it is important to note that this tool is designed exclusively for non-porous surfaces; it will not function effectively on rough, textured, or porous materials, which limits its versatility in some construction environments.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the Vitrex Vacuum Suction Cup can hold?

It is rated for a maximum holding power of 110kg.

Can I use this on textured bathroom tiles?

No, the tool requires a smooth, non-porous surface to create and maintain a vacuum seal.

How do I know if the suction is safe?

Use the integrated safety indicator on the device; if the indicator shows sufficient pressure, the seal is secure.

Is this tool suitable for lifting heavy glass?

Yes, it is highly effective for handling smooth materials such as glass, marble, and granite.

What should I do if the vacuum seal leaks?

Stop using it immediately, inspect the seal for debris or damage, and clean or replace the pad if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Suction cup loses grip immediately

Clean both the rubber suction pad and the surface material to ensure they are free from dust, oil, or debris.

Safety indicator fails to rise

Check the rubber pad for cracks or damage and ensure the surface is non-porous and perfectly flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 110kg load-bearing capacity for large format materials
  • Reliable safety indicator prevents accidents by alerting users to loss of pressure
  • Simple pump-action mechanism requires minimal physical effort
  • Excellent for precision positioning of tiles and glass

Cons

  • Ineffective on porous surfaces like unglazed concrete or brick
  • Requires perfectly clean surfaces to maintain a vacuum
  • Not suitable for textured or uneven tiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the suction cup, place the rubber base firmly onto a clean, dry, and flat surface. Engage the pump mechanism until the safety indicator shows that the required pressure has been reached.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with: Smooth porcelain, glass, polished stone, marble, and glazed ceramics.
  • Not compatible with: Rough, textured, matte, or porous materials such as brick, wood, or raw concrete.

Care Instructions:

  • Always wipe the rubber suction pad with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust.
  • Inspect the rubber for nicks or cracks before every use; a damaged pad will not maintain a seal.
  • Store the tool in its protective case or in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber degradation.
