Reasons to use our exclusive Patent Pending Adaptor Kits
(enables you to use SCH 40 2 inch plumbing PVC purchased locally)
- Using plumbing PVC pipe will result in a slight increase your CFM or your airflow. It is the increase in area inside the pipe that offers increased air volume discharge.
- 2 Inch plumbing pipe is available almost anywhere. Vacuum pipe is limited mainly to central vacuum dealers.
- Plumbing pipe is much more substantial (thicker and stronger) than vacuum pipe.
- Plumbing pipe comes in lengths up to 20 FT which offers greater system performance requiring less cutting and gluing.
- Plumbing pipe works well under ground
- Plumbing pipe offers less chance for clogs because of the larger diameter. Actually, vacuum pipe will completely fit inside plumbing pipe clearly showing not only better structural
integrity, but allowing you to visualize the larger capacity for air flow and reduction for potential clogging.
Note:
Formulas utilized are the Air Velocity in a Pipe and Air Volume Discharge from Pipe. This testing was done with Vacuum PVC tubing measured at 1.88 inches ID (inside diameter) and plumbing PVC pipe measured at 2.06 inches ID (inside diameter). The calculations are over a 10 ft length.
