I'm upgrading my vacuum system but I have a hard time sourcing the piping in all the same category of piping and fitting.
Out of four local hardware stores, no one had all I need. Either the valves wouldn't fit the piping or the other way around...
What actually happen is that I have a caprice; I want my system to be all white like what I've seen before. I can get whatever size plastic ball valves without problem but only to be fitted with black ABS drainage piping. Vacuum cleaner 2" piping is white but can't be fitted with the drainage valves... I can't seem to be able to get smaller diameter PVC piping than 3"...! Oh! and all the plastic ball valves that I can get are white!?
Help me sort this out please!
Looking at various setup images post on this forum; what is the normal purpose of the piping used to built your vacuum? Is it drainage, central vacuum cleaner, pool filtering piping, else?
One more while at it; I want a four valves/zone system used with one (soon two) Fein T3; should I go with 2" piping (what I planned) or is 1-1/2" more than enough?
