Pro-Ject - VC-S - VC-S2 Spout

The Pro-Ject VC-S Spout — For Emptying the Waste Tank

A replacement drain spout, sold singly, for the Pro-Ject VC-S record cleaning machine. It is the fitting used to empty the used cleaning solution out of the machine's waste tank.

Read the fitment carefully before ordering. Our product information states that this spout is not compatible with the Pro-Ject VC-S2 or the VC-E — it is the part for the original VC-S.

Fit and Function

What It Does

A vacuum record cleaner collects everything it pulls off your records into a tank, and that tank has to be emptied. The spout is what turns that from a two-handed pouring exercise into a controlled one.

Which Machine It Fits

The Pro-Ject VC-S. The VC-S2 and the VC-E are different machines, and this spout does not fit them — check which machine you own rather than which one the box in the cupboard says, because the naming across the range is close enough to catch people out.

The spout is a wear part in the ordinary way: it is handled every time the tank is emptied, and it spends its life in contact with used cleaning fluid.

Who Is This Spout Best For?

• You own a Pro-Ject VC-S — the original machine, not the S2 or the E
• Yours has cracked or gone brittle — plastic in constant contact with fluid eventually does
• Yours has gone missing — a small part that gets removed every time you empty the tank
• You bought the machine used — small fittings are the ones most often absent
• Your machine is a VC-S2 or a VC-E — this part does not fit either; their spares are in record cleaning accessories

How Do You Fit It?

Empty the tank first and let the machine drain. Remove the old spout from its fitting, clean any residue from the seat, and fit the replacement. Check it seals by running water through before you trust it with a full tank of used fluid.

Pairs Well With

What most VC-S owners keep alongside.

• Record cleaning solutions — the fluid the machine is there to remove
• Record cleaning accessories — the rest of the spares and consumables
• Record cleaning machines — if you are still choosing one
• Record brushes — for the dust that never needs a machine

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my machine?

It fits the Pro-Ject VC-S. Our product information is explicit that it is not compatible with the VC-S2 or the VC-E, so confirm the exact model before ordering.

How many do I need?

One per machine, sold singly. A spare is only worth it if yours has already failed once.

What does it actually do?

It is the drain fitting for the waste tank — the route the used cleaning solution takes when you empty the machine.
