Product details
A sweep tee ties a branch line into a central vacuum trunk using a long, gradual curve at the branch rather than a sharp right angle, and part TF5501BV is that fitting in 2 in. white PVC with three female sockets.
- Configuration: tee (T), 90-degree long-radius sweep branch
- Size: 2 in. PVC
- Ends: female/female/female
- Color: white
The long sweep on the branch side keeps debris moving through the junction instead of catching at a hard corner, which is why a sweep tee is generally chosen over a plain tee on a busy trunk line. Solvent-weld all three sockets to 2 in. central vacuum PVC pipe with cement made for that purpose.
Dry-fit all three sockets on a sweep tee before cementing and check the branch direction, since PVC solvent weld sets almost immediately and will not allow the fitting to be rotated afterward. A sweep tee takes up more depth along the branch than a plain tee at the same angle, so confirm there is room for the wider curve before cutting pipe to length.
Order part TF5501BV to bring a branch line into a 2 in. PVC trunk, and measure the space available along the branch before cutting pipe, since a sweep tee's long curve needs more room than a plain tee at the same angle. Verified against: CycloVac catalogue page for the Vaculine long-radius sweep tee
