Below oor or at oor level plumbing
General Recommendations
Vacuum Piping to be Type M Copper or Schedule 40 PVC per product specs and local code.
Main trunk lines must have a minimum slope of 1/4 inch per 10 feet towards the pump.
Use “drain,waste and vent”(DWV), or 45 deg. elbows.
Down size the main trunk line after every few junction boxes or branches in order to maintain sufcient suction in operatoires farthest from
the vacuum.
Every 50 feet of main trunk line should be considered a user.
Attempts should be made to limit branch lines, orient main trunk lines below junction boxes or cabinets.
Some applications may require the main trunk line to be split, attempts should be made to equalize ow in both directions.
Always stagger branch lines from main trunk, do NOT use 4-way cross ttings.
Large applications may require multiple vacuums and dividing the operatoires into zones in order to maintain sufcient suction.
Power Vac (“G” / “STD”) specic recommendations
6 feet maximum height from main trunk line to the pump.
When using in an oral surgery environment we recommend using the surgical operatory recovery room packages to collect everything and
prevent build up/clogs in the lines and vacuum tank.
Wet-ring specic recommendations
4 feet maximum height from main trunk line to the pump.

Overhead Plumbing
General Recommendations
Vacuum Piping to be Type M Copper or Schedule 40 PVC per product specs and local code.
Main trunk lines must have a minimum slope of 1/4 inch per 10 feet towards the pump.
Use “drain,waste and vent”(DWV), or 45 deg. elbows.
Down size the main trunk line after every few junction boxes or branches in order to maintain sufcient suction.
Every 50 feet of main trunk line should be considered a user.
Attempts should be made to limit branch lines, orient main trunk lines in close proximity to the vertical vacuum lines
Some applications may require the main trunk line to be split, attempts should be make to equalize ow in both directions.
Micro Mini Mufer / Vacuum Relief Valve (VRV) to be Installed at top of vent line in each operatory.
Each Micro Mini Mufer / Vacuum Relief Valve VRV is considered 1/2 of a user.
Maximum height of riser to the main trunk line trap is 10 feet. (A loss of 1” hg per 18” of rise limits height of trunk line.)
It may be necessary to upgrade to the next size vacuum for systems with over head plumbing depending on the ofce size and usage.
All risers need to be plumbed into the top of the main trunk line through a trap.
We do not recommend combining overhead pluming with below oor plumbing due to the different performance characteristics.
When using in a oral surgery environment we recommend using the surgical operatory recovery room packages to collect everything and
prevent build up/clogs in the lines and vacuum tank.
Operation efciencies must be considered I.E.: holding vacuum tips open longer in operatory’s to allow ow up walls to help prevent gurgling
in plumbing

Oral Surgery Plumbing Recommendations
General Recommendations (Power Max)
Vacuum Piping to be Type M Copper or Schedule 40 PVC per product specs and local code.
A Surgical Operatory Recovery Package is required for all Power Max applications.
All liquids and solids should be collected in the Surgical Canister and disposed of per local codes prior to reaching the vacuum lines.
Down size the main trunk line after every few junction boxes or branches in order to maintain sufcient suction.
Every 50 feet of main trunk line should be considered a user.
Attempts should be made to limit branch lines, orient main trunk lines close junction boxes or cabinets.
Some applications may require the main trunk line to be split, attempts should be make to equalize ow in both directions.
There is no loss of suction when overhead pluming is used in conjunction with the Surgical Operatory Recovery Package due to no liquids or
solids moving through the vacuum lines.
Power Vac (“G” / “std”) specic recommendations
When using in a oral surgery environment we highly recommend using the surgical operatory recovery room packages to collect everything
and prevent build up/clogs in the lines and vacuum tank.
When electing not to use the Surgical Operatory Recovery Package and collecting waste in the Power Vac collection canister, thorough line
cleaning should be done after every procedure and the end of the day. The collection tank will also need rinsed periodically. When using the
Power Vac style vacuum in this application the lines will have to be constructed with “drain,waste and vent”(DWV), or 45 deg. elbows (follow
Overhead or Through the Floor specications previously stated in this guide).
