- An electro-pneumatically operated, high throughput gate valve
- A hand operated (usually) or an electro-pneumatic (rarely) foreline valve
- A molecular sieve foreline trap
- Various interconnecting vacuum hose and fittings
- A foreline vacuum gauge
- Dual chamber/beamline vacuum gauges
- A vacuum pump gate valve interlock circuit
- A panel mounted indicator & control panel
