Product Selection #1: Vacuum Holster Assembly Each Vacuum Holster assembly is comprised of three primary components:
Tailpipe Adapter Part #: A4STA		Non-scratch EPDM rubber boot Flexible boot can accommodate tight tailpipe-to-frame clearances 8 1/2" x 4" opening can fit nearly all exhaust pipe configurations Attachment hook device is non-scratch, with an adjustable-length feature Rotational damper (operated by turning the T-handles) prevents heated/cooled air from being exhausted from the facility Weight: 3 lbs. NOTE: Used for most applications.  In school bus and implement facilities, consider using the School Bus Tailpipe adapter
Exhaust Hose Part#: H4C??		Lower section of hose (green) is made of a silicon composite, for 600 degrees F intermittent Remainder of hose (black) is made of a neoprene composite (350 degrees F intermittent) 4" diameter for the entire length results in sufficient airflow, even for large cubic inch vehicles Hose is one continuous piece - no sections to become uncoupled after extended usage External steel helix acts as a wearstrip, protecting the hose composite from contact with the floor Light (.70lbs/ft), flexible, and easy to maneuver Flame resistant Note: 17', 20' and 23' lengths are standard.  Fill in the hose length to complete the part number.
Hose Holster Part#: VH408		Stores out-of-use exhaust hoses Color can be specified to match the facility Made of durable polyethelene Tailpipe adapter rests in two restraining notches that are cut in the lower rim of the Hose Holster Hose Holster can be cut to a shorter length in the field to accommodate low ceiling applications Weight: 7 lbs. Standard length: 57" (4'9") Granite-black is the default color.  Please specify if different color is desired.

Product Selection #2 : Hose Holster Suspension Kit
Each Hose Holster requires a suspension kit, determined by the height of the duct manifold above finished floor (AFF).  The direct-to-duct kit (# A4DHS) is recommended, and should be used when the bottom of the duct manifold is 13' or less AFF.   If more than 13' AFF, the extended duct kit (# A4EHS) is available.   For both kits: The Vacuum Holsters are suspended from the duct manifold.  No separate bracing from structure is required. Both kits use a flexible suspension strap, allowing the Vacuum Holster to pivot/rotate if touched or pulled. The kits are designed so that the bottom rim of the tailpipe adapter hangs at 6'6" AFF.  For automotive Vacuum Holsters, the installer should use a 4" diameter tap or takeoff from the spiral duct manifold.
Direct-to-Duct Kit Part #: A4DHS		Recommended suspension method when duct is 13' AFF or less The flexible suspension strap is looped over the duct manifold Hose Holster is connected to the suspension strap by two cam-grip cleats, permitting easy field adjustment of height AFF Hose Holster can be cut to shorter lengths to accommodate very low-ceiling applications All items and hardware are included in the kit Weight: 1 lb Click here for installation instructions
Extended Duct Kit Part #: A4EHS		The flexible suspension strap is looped over the duct manifold The suspension strap is connected to a section of spiral pipe, supplied by the contractor, call the "duct spacer" The duct spacer is installed vertically, between the duct take-off and the Hose Holster.  It must be sized in the field to attain the proper suspension height AFF A 6-4" reducer is supplied by Ascent to attach the Hose Holster to the duct spacer With the exception of the duct spacer, all hardware and accessories are provided with the kit Weight: 4 lbs (not including duct spacer) Click here for installation instructions

 

Product Selection #3: System Options The following items are the most common options in the automotive market.  For unusual or special applications, Ascent Systems can provide customized products to suit application requirements.
Wye Assembly (Automotive) Part #: A3WYE		Designed to connect to dual tailpipes Wye connector quickly couples with the Ascent Systems tailpipe adapter Wye connector is sized to prevent pressure loss at the connection point 4" x 4' high temp exhaust hose on each branch End of each branch features the Ascent System tailpipe adapter, less the damper assembly Weight: 14 lbs.
School Bus Tailpipe Adapter Part #: A4BTA		Designed to connect to exhaust pipes that are flush to the bumper, or recessed Attachment assembly is placed inside the exhaust pipe, and expands to hold the adapter in place Can also function with standard exhaust pipes Recommended especially for school bus and implement facilities Uses same non-scratch EPDM rubber boot as the standard tailpipe adapter Rotation damper assembly is included Weight: 6 lbs.
