Vaculine Flanged/Slip Coupl...

Product details
Central vacuum tubing runs do not end in mid-air; they terminate against equipment, and the flanged slip coupling is the fitting Vaculine makes for that termination. One end is a standard cemented socket for 2 inch central vacuum pipe, while the other carries a flat mounting flange, the connection style used where a tubing run meets a power unit or any component built for a flanged, gasketed hookup rather than a glued joint.
Canplas groups part 762040 with its flanged hardware in the Vaculine catalog, alongside the gasketed flanged socket and flanged spigot fittings it is designed to meet. A flange that screws down gives the connection strength a plain slip joint cannot match at a mounting surface, and it gives the joint something a cemented run never has: the ability to come apart. Unbolt the flange and the power unit or component comes free while the pipe run stays exactly where it was installed.
Molded in white rigid PVC to match standard 2 inch central vacuum pipe, the coupling keeps a smooth interior bore through the transition so airflow does not choke down at the joint. That matters over the length of a whole-house run, where every restriction adds up against the power unit's suction, and a step or ridge inside a fitting is a common place for debris to catch and gradually narrow the passage.
Dry-fit the socket side against the pipe before cementing to confirm alignment, since a flange pulled out of square puts stress on the joints behind it once everything is bolted up. Sold in a case of 50, the carton quantity Canplas ships for installers and shops that go through fittings on a regular basis.
