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.
The 18 FT pipe length is well suited for longer straight sections of a vacuum distribution network and can reduce the number of pipe joints required compared with shorter lengths. When expanding an existing Prevost PPS installation, confirm the current pipe outside diameter and fitting compatibility before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the required pipe outside diameter before ordering.
- Use compatible Prevost PPS vacuum fittings and system components.
- Plan storage and handling for the 18 FT pipe length before installation.
- Cut pipe square using suitable installation tools.
- Prepare and deburr pipe ends before assembly.
- Keep the inside of the piping clean during installation.
- Support long 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this gray aluminum pipe designed for?
This Prevost PPS gray aluminum pipe is designed for industrial vacuum distribution systems.
What length is each pipe?
Every variant in this listing is an 18 FT pipe length.
What pipe sizes are available?
This 18 FT listing includes 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", 4", and 6" outside-diameter options.
Why is the vacuum pipe gray?
The gray finish helps distinguish the vacuum piping from other Prevost PPS piping used for different services.
Why use an 18 FT pipe length?
An 18 FT pipe can cover longer straight runs with fewer individual pipe sections and joints, making it useful for larger vacuum distribution networks.
Why is aluminum used for vacuum piping?
Aluminum provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant piping material while its smooth internal surface supports efficient vacuum flow.
Can this pipe be used with Prevost PPS fittings?
Yes. This pipe is part of the Prevost Piping System and should be used with compatible PPS fittings selected for the matching pipe outside diameter and intended service.
How do I select the correct vacuum pipe diameter?
Pipe diameter should be selected according to system flow requirements, total network length, simultaneous demand, branch configuration, equipment requirements, and anticipated future expansion.
Can I use this pipe for a central vacuum system?
