    It will take a Large Vacuum, you may look into what the Banks use for piping, They don't need as large vacuum as you will.

    I would go with Schedule #40 with a pipe wall of .237 inches.
    SAshedule#80 at ,33 would be overkill. Good luck, Tom

    I have seen some solid underground drain pipe used in a shop. Wall thickness is about1/8 and I believe schedule 40 fittings fit. Unless you are using a cyclone and commercial vacuum source, a large capacity shop vac will work.
