Is the taco vortex an air scope or more like a spirovent.I guess is what a want to know is does the vortex need this 18" straight run before it can work properly.

According to Taco
"no minimum length of pipe required after bend or elbow"
and they say no more than 10 ft/sec flow rate. Hope this answers your question.0 -
Thanks Eric
What does that equal to in a 3/4 copper pipe @ 2-3 gpm

I may be wrong but
I think 10 ft/sec using 3/4" pipe comes out to 15gpm, but you might want to wait for someone else to post a reply.0 -

If i only run 2 ft/sec.
will the vortech still work Bruce0 -
Yes, It will work
Yes, It will work. The max ft/sec is based on the ASHRAE recomendations for velocity noise not the effect on air separation.
