Debris coming from above will pile up below because not all of it makes the left turn to the vacuum unit. Use alternate fitting setup shown on the left to prevent clogging issues.
Picture a pipe directly out of the unit needing to go both into the attic
and under the house. The unit would be mounted to the left of the pipe. The
problem with the double Y shown on the right is that debris coming down from above,
trying to make the turn to the left to go into the unit, will have a strong
tendency to drop out of the airflow into the pipe below. If inlets on the lower
line are not used often, then the pipe will build up with debris and clog the
system. Although the setup on the left might take a few extra fittings, you
can see that all the debris will properly flow to the
unit.

Debris coming from the left or right will pile up on the opposite side possibly causing clogs. Use alternate fitting setup shown on the left to prevent clogging issues.
Picture the double Y being used where all pipes are running horizontally. There would be
one pipe coming from the left and one from the right. They want to flow toward
the bottom of the picture. Again it is possible for debris coming from either
the left or right to carry themselves through the air stream and centrifugal
force would push the debris into the opposite dead-air of the line that is in
direct flow rather than making the turn toward the lower part of the picture
toward where the power unit is located.
