Default Anyone know about vacuum rating?

@dont-email.me:

A buried pipe is supported against bulging out at right angles to
where the collapse begins. Yours wasn't.


Exactly how does that address "five story high vertical column
separation"?

This stuff is not used only buried. It's approved (in some few
places) for
vertical vents on DWV systems.

How can you pull a five story (50') vacuum?

The rating may be for the overpressure from a five story high water
hammer.

Google isn't too helpful.
