SPIGOT CONNECTION - STREET FITTING
A SPIGOT (shown in red) is a male end of a fitting designed to be used inside another fittings SOCKET end. Any fitting with at least one end in a SPIGOT connector is called a STREET FITTING. A STREET fittings uses a SPIGOT on one end and a SOCKET on the other (SOCKET X SPIGOT). A STREET fitting is used less often in the construction of a central vacuum tubing system but is very useful when two fittings must be joined together to make connection not available in a standard SOCKET fitting. A SPIGOT connector measures .71 inches in depth to allow full insertion into a SOCKET fitting. Standard HUB FITTING's can be converted to a SPIGOT end by the use of a SPIGOT ADAPTER (SPIGOT X SPIGOT) or the use of a 1.75 inch length of vacuum tube. However a SPIGOT to SOCKET fitting will be approximately .75 inches shorter than a SOCKET to SOCKET fitting using a SPIGOT adapter or short piece of pipe due to the lack of a second HUB in the connection. STREET fittings are not included in the standard Vacdepot install kit and are available in the fittings category.
