SYS-GRP Hub: Overview & Configuration

The SYS-GRP Hub is a centralized vacuum control block that routes, isolates, and releases vacuum across multiple workholding zones. Instead of managing hoses back to your pump or Nexus for every task change, you make one move at the bench and the system responds.

What it is (at a glance)

Think of the Hub as the switchboard for vacuum in your shop. Instead of chasing hoses back to a pump or a Nexus every time you change tasks, you make one small move at the bench and the system responds — route a new line, isolate a station, or release safely before you lift.

What it does	Why it matters
Route	Direct vacuum to specific zones without replumbing
Isolate	Add or remove stations without power-cycling the source
Release	Fast, controlled bleed-down across selected lines
Integration	Mounts on bench/cart/panel; sits between vacuum source and endpoints

Core components

Supply port: Main feed from your vacuum source (pump or Nexus+Grabo)
Distribution manifold: 2–4 port options for routing to pods and rails
Master release: Fast, controlled bleed-down across selected lines
Inline valves: Per-line isolation to add or remove stations without power-cycling
Quick connects: Push-to-connect fittings sized for common SYS-GRP tubing

Where it fits in the system

The Hub lives between your vacuum source and your workholding endpoints:

Upstream (source):

Vacuum pump
Nexus Baseplate with Grabo Pro-Lifter 20 or DeWalt Grabo

Downstream (endpoints):
