It is often assumed that one pipe or the other is the same, but this is not so!
Pvc pipe fittings
The ⌀50 General D’Aspirazione fittings were created for one job: to suck in air with everything it can carry, preventing any object from stopping along the way.
It is produced by molding of shockproof and environmentally friendly ABS thermoplastic material. Fittings of other diameters are iiP UNI certified. The pipe of all diameters is PiiP/C UNI certified.
Socket frame
The GDA Astra socket frame have a tightly sealed plaster-protecting cover that makes it easy to carry out system testing to give total assurance of proper installation.
General D’Aspirazione exclusive patented system.
Oval Pipe
Ideal for installations with underfloor heating
The products of the Oval Pipe assortment are an absolute exclusivity, designed and manufactured by GDA.
Thanks to the reduced height of only 24 mm It is now possible to realise a system in spaces where before this was unthinkable, maintaining, the same vacuum centrals and performance as with the traditional round tubing.
Systems with the Oval Pipe incentivize the installation of central vacuum systems in those areas where the traditional 50 mm tubing cannot be installed. Ideal for renovations, where there is an underfloor heating system, in prefabricated wooden houses and in case of the presence of drywall with soundproof material inside.
The oval piping, same as the traditional 50 mm round tubing, can be installed on floor, wall, and roof. It is also possible, where necessary, to realise mixed systems between round and oval pipes.
Where the system cannot be built below the underfloor heating system, oval piping can be installed along the perimeters.

Often the presence of the radiant system placed inside the subfloor implies smaller thicknesses for all domestic plumbing (electrical, plumbing, suction) The pipes of the Oval Pipe are an optimal solution, thanks to the 24 mm thickness.
Example of ducting with oval pipe
Line diam. 50 on the ground and ascent to the oval line sockets. Solution particularly suitable for installation on plasterboard walls due to the pipe thickness of only 24 mm
Example of wall climbing on the upper floor
How to perform the testing?
There are three stages of testing:
- you measure the vacuum created by the control unit with the vacuum gauge provided
- you connect the control unit to the plant pipe
- it is verified from any socket frame that the value tested is always the same
Once the testing is completed, it is possible to ascertain the prefect functioning or pinpoint exactly where the facility is damaged.
Note to installer: “Request the test sheet from the GDA technical department.
