Product details
This Titan sweep tee, part SV8048, splits one run of central vacuum piping into two branches at any point where a trunk line needs to feed an additional inlet. The junction curves rather than meeting at a sharp angle, so debris keeps moving through the branch instead of hanging up at the intersection.
A branch fitting carries more risk than a straight coupling does, because a leak here drains flow from every inlet that either branch feeds, not just the single line a straight joint would affect. That makes the seal on a tee worth extra attention during installation, especially on a longer run where tracing a weak joint back later is a real hassle.
It is a Plastiflex-manufactured fitting, sized to the pipe dimensions standard across central vacuum systems and listed for the Titan TCS5702, so it drops into both new construction and an existing piping run without modification. Dry-fit both branch directions before committing to cement, then solvent-weld each joint for a permanent seal.
Where a run needs to branch three ways instead of two, plan for a pair of tees rather than forcing one fitting to do more than it is built for, since stacking branches without the right fitting tends to create the kind of turbulence that catches debris. Keep a spare tee on hand for service routes, since a branch fitting is often the piece that gets disturbed when tubing is opened up for an unrelated repair elsewhere in the run.
