Trovac Metal Wye (Y) Pipe F...

Product details
This metal wye, or Y-fitting, brings a branch line into a central vacuum trunk run built from rigid metal pipe rather than PVC. One side of the Y carries a long-radius, 90-degree curve, so the branch enters the main line at a gentle angle instead of a hard perpendicular joint.
- Configuration: wye (Y) branch fitting
- Branch angle: 90 degrees, long-radius curved side
- Material: metal, for metal central vacuum pipe runs
Because part TFM1195V is cataloged with the metal pipes and fittings line, it is meant for installations already running metal tubing rather than PVC; the two pipe materials use different fitting profiles and are not interchangeable at a joint. Bond metal-to-metal joints with an adhesive made for that purpose, not the solvent-weld cement used on PVC.
Dry-fit the wye against the adjoining metal pipe before bonding, since the joint cannot be repositioned once the adhesive sets. Support the pipe close to a branch fitting like this one so the weight of the run does not stress the bond while it cures, and keep the branch on the same metal pipe standard as the rest of the network rather than mixing in PVC partway through.
Check which pipe material the rest of your central vacuum run uses before ordering part TFM1195V. Verified against: Trovac catalogue listing for the long-radius curved-side metal wye
