Selecting the Correct Vacuum Pipe Size
Vacuum pipe diameter should be selected according to required system flow, total network length, the number of connected vacuum points, equipment requirements, and acceptable system losses. Proper sizing helps maintain dependable vacuum performance throughout the distribution network.
For an existing Prevost PPS installation, confirm the current pipe outside diameter and fitting compatibility before ordering. When designing a new network, account for the main line, branch lines, simultaneous demand, system length, and anticipated future expansion.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the required pipe outside diameter before ordering.
- Use compatible Prevost PPS vacuum fittings and system components.
- Cut pipe square using suitable installation tools.
- Prepare and deburr pipe ends before assembly.
- Keep the inside of the piping clean during installation.
- Support pipe runs at appropriate intervals.
- Plan main lines, branches, isolation points, and future expansion before assembly.
- Confirm that connected components are suitable for the intended vacuum system.
- Inspect the completed piping network before placing the system into normal service.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with industrial vacuum piping systems.
