Pipe Adaptor, 1-13/16" Whit...
$6.99
Product details
Some VacuFlo central vacuum installations were plumbed with 1-13/16 inch outside-diameter pipe rather than the 2 inch OD stock that became the industry standard, meaning off-the-shelf fittings will not seat on that tubing without an adaptor in between. This white adaptor joins a 1-13/16 inch VacuFlo pipe end to a standard 2-inch connection.
The adaptor's inner bore is sized to slip over the 1.8125 inch VacuFlo pipe and present a true 2-inch fitting on the other end, so standard central vacuum couplings, tees, and inlet fittings can join onto it without machining or forcing the joint. A proper interface here matters because a loose or undersized joint bleeds suction at every use, and a joint under tension from a forced fit is more likely to crack or separate later.
Measure the outer diameter of the pipe you are working with before ordering rather than assuming by system age or house vintage; this adaptor is sized specifically for 1-13/16 inch VacuFlo pipe and will not seat correctly on standard 2-inch stock or on other brands' non-standard runs. It is commonly reached for when extending or repairing an older VacuFlo system with newer, standard-size fittings, since new inlet valves, tees, and couplings sold today are built to the 2-inch standard rather than the older VacuFlo dimension.
Dry-fit the adaptor onto the existing pipe before cementing to confirm a snug, even seat all the way around before committing to a permanent solvent weld, and clean any old cement residue or dust from the pipe end first so the adaptor seats fully.
