Get Help Sizing Your AcornVac System
To select an appropriate Vacuum Center, you need to know the following:
- The type of equipment requiring drainage,
- The collective load point value of the fixtures and equipment requiring drainage,
- Maximum anticipated continuous flow in gallons per minute, from all drainage combined.

Sizing Your Vacuum Center
-
Calculate the total fixture load requirement by adding the total point value for all equipment requiring vacuum drainage.
-
Refer to the Maximum LPV in the Vacuum Center Products table to select the appropriate system.
-
Calculate the continuous flow rate for all fixtures combined. To do this, consider the normal use of the fixtures and equipment. Add the anticipated gallons per minute flow from all fixtures that might require drainage at the same time.
An Example of Sizing Your Vacuum Center
A stocking and distribution warehouse with men’s and women’s bathrooms
| Load Point Value | Project Data | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixture Type | LPV Per Fixture | Quantity of Fixture Type | Total Item Value (Multiply Quantity by LPV Value) |
| Vacuum Toilet; .05 GPF | 7 | 3 | 21 |
| Urinals | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Lavatory or Hand Wash Basin | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Mop or Utility Sink | 5 | 1 | 5 |
| Total Project Load Points Value | 31 | ||
In this example, the total Load Point Value is 31. This point value indicates System 2 00, from the Vacuum Center Products table – provided that the anticipated continuous in-flow rate from all fixtures combined does not exceed 15-gallons per minute. If the anticipated continuous in-flow rate exceeds 15-gallons per minute, then select the system rated for 30-gallons per minute.
