Trovac 45-Degree Metal Elbo...
$13.00
Product details
TFM1191V is a metal 45-degree elbow fitting for central vacuum pipe, with a single spigot (insert) end. It changes the direction of a metal pipe run by 45 degrees, letting the line step around framing, joists or other obstructions without the airflow loss of a sharper turn, and the single insert end means the other side of the joint is a plain pipe cut rather than a second fitting.
- Stocked as: TFM1191V
- Bend: 45 degrees
- Connection: single spigot (insert) end
- Built of: metal
Trovac catalogues it under metal pipes and fittings, a separate line from the PVC tubing most residential systems are built with, so it is made to join metal pipe rather than plastic. Confirm the pipe material and diameter already run in your walls before ordering, since central vacuum installations use more than one pipe standard and metal and PVC runs are not interchangeable.
A gentle 45-degree bend costs less suction than a sharp 90-degree turn in the same run, which is why installers reach for it around an obstacle where a straight shot is not possible, keeping the total number of turns in a pipe run as low as the layout allows.
