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.
