Manifold Y-Tube Installation

;

Vacuum leaks anywhere in the system reduce system capacity.

;

Keep the number of material tube bends, elbows, Y-tubes, and

vacuum T-tubes to a minimum for maximum system capacity.

;

Use long radius tube bends on material lines.

;

Keep the total length of material conveying flex hose to a

minimum. Long flex hose material runs reduce system
capacity.

;

Vertical material tubing runs should be straight up. Inclined

runs can reduce capacity.

;

Support tubing about every ten feet with straps, pipe hangers,

or brackets.

;

Tube joints must be rigid to prevent vacuum or material leaks.
