Does your loud vacuum cleaner cause stress for you and your family? Do you feel you must sacrifice cleaning power for a quiet vacuum cleaner?
Not any longer!
NuTone’s ® Central Vacuum System is the quietest and most powerful cleaning system that does more than clean floors. It enhances your home’s environment by improving indoor air quality and reducing noise while providing exceptionally clean carpets and other surfaces.
Now cleaning can be accomplished while the baby is sleeping or the family is enjoying their favorite television show.
NuTone’s Central Vacuum System is a quick, effective and quiet way to remove dust and allergens from your home with minimal effort.
More Cleaning Power
Up to five times more powerful than upright and canister systems, NuTone central vacuum systems pull more dirt and dust out of the house and exhausts it outside of your home.
Better Dust Filtration
Dirt and dust are captured inside the Power
Unit – away from living areas. With HEPA filtration, Teflon
®
and Microban
®
antimicrobial coatings, dust and bacteria are trapped in the bag.
Built-in Convenience
The lightweight hose is all you have to carry upstairs or from room to room. No heavy canister or upright vacuum to lug around. And, the handy VacPan TM makes small clean ups in the kitchen a breeze.
Quiet Performance
The internal sound suppression system reduces noise disturbance. In addition, with the power unit mounted in the basement, garage or utility area, the noise is away from your living area.
Good Investment
Increase the resale value of your home without investing much more than the cost of a portable vacuum.

the
Central Vac System

Snap, drop, discard.
On bagless cyclonic models, remove the debris canister in just a few seconds. Undo the two snap closures and whisk it away. Filter cleaning and replacement is a breeze.
Convenient…
NuTone’s Central Vac Power Units feature a new sleek design allowing it to mount closely against the wall so you can make the most of your space. The revolutionary internal sound suppression system provides a much quieter performance. And, for added convenience, we’ve included a status light on the hose handle and power unit which indicates when the
VX™ unit’s bag or canister is full and needs emptying.
Powerful…
Our new motor designs have up to 5 times more cleaning power than conventional vacuums. Select the model that best fits your home size – with our single unit VX1000 providing enough power to clean a home up to 12,000 square feet. And with better filtration, you won’t just be spreading the dust around. Microscopic dust particles are exhausted to the exterior of your home, unlike conventional vacuums.
Warranty…
NuTone offers one of the best in the industry. The VX475 models have a 2-year warranty,
VX550 models a 4-year warranty and the VX1000 models come with a full 8-year warranty on the Power Unit.
Finally, don’t discard your old attachments. Your current accessories can be used with our new VX Power Units. Or, keep it as a spare kit close at hand in your workshop, hobby room or garage when you require those quick clean ups!
Accurate bag-full or tank-full lights.
Progressive status indicator lights tell you in a glance when to change the bag or empty the debris basin. Bagged models feature a true “bag-full” light and shut down automatically to avoid rupturing the bag.
Convenient installation.
Left- or right-hand intake ports simplify new or retrofit installations. The slim profile lets the tank fit in tight corners.
Clean quietly.
Noise is suppressed better than ever before. Our revolutionary new internal sound suppression system deadens sound. No external muffler is required! What’s more, our new quick-mount installation brackets minimize vibration.

Plug into Power
and Convenience with
NuTone Inlets.
Turn to the source for power and intelligence. NuTone’s line of central cleaning inlets include built-in low-voltage terminals where direct-connect hoses plug right into the inlet – alleviating the need for a power cord. The electrifi ed inlets make it a simple one-step operation to plug in a currentcarrying hose. The system turns on automatically when an unswitched hose is inserted or is ready for immediate activation with a switched hose.
NuTone’s status indicator hoses and inlets allow for the bag-full or pail-full technology from your power unit for even more convenience. When the light on the power unit changes, indicating that it is time to change the bag or empty the pail, the light on the hose and inlet also changes color. And no additional wiring is needed.
NuTone inlets are the source of ease and convenience when working with a central vacuum system.
Electrifi ed Direct Connect Inlets
CI390V
Electrifi ed Inlets make it a simple one-step operation to plug in a
Current-Carrying hose – no 120V extension cord to carry around.
Compatible with NuTone CH615 and CH620 hoses.
CI390 Standard and CI395 Status Indicating
The ElectraValve ® Electrifi ed Inlet operates on standard house wiring.

Status Indicating Inlets
NuTone’s Indicating Inlets bring Central Vacuum System “intelligence” right to where you need it most – at the inlet! A green LED light tells you that your system is powered and ready for use when you insert the hose.
Recommended for use with NuTone VX™ Series Power Units.

System Planning – New or Existing Construction
Installation
Each NuTone Central Cleaning System comes packed with a Planning & Installing Guide. Whatever your home layout – multi-level, two-story or ranch – we have a system to meet your needs. As few as three or four inlets can take care of an average size home. Once you’ve determined the right system for you, a typical system can be installed in a day or less.
Just choose whether you want to do-it-yourself or hire a professional installer.
For New Construction
Installation is simple! Plan the location of the power unit and inlets with your building or contractor. Tubing, inlets and electrical hook-up can be made before drywall, plaster or finished flooring is in place. You can even “pre-tube” your home, then select and install the power unit later!
For Existing Construction
Just determine the number and location of inlets and cutting through drywall can be kept to a minimum. Tubing can be run through cold air returns, closets and stairwells.
NOTE: NuTone Central Cleaning Systems are not designed for wet pick-up.
27
How to Choose
Power unit and semi-rigid tubing
Convenient automatic inlets
Long, flexible hose lets you clean two or three rooms from one inlet
Automatic dustpan
Power unit
28
In other floor plans, the power unit may be located in the basement, laundry or utility room.
Average size 3 or 4-bedroom homes may be adequately serviced with 3 or 4 inlets plus the power unit. Utility inlets can also be used on patio or porch.
Let us help you with the basics.
1.
What is your home size? Include all areas and floors to be serviced by your central vacuum system.
Home Size ___________________________ sq. ft.
2.
Based on your home size, choose your power unit from the three different Power
Unit series indicated on page 30 selection chart.
Power Unit _______________________________
3.
Determine the number of wall inlets you will need. As a quick reference for estimating, we recommend using the relationship of 600 sq. ft. for each inlet.
Based on the home square footage used above, divide that value by 600.
Always round up for estimating purposes. For example, using a 2,800 sq. ft. home:
Home Size of 2800 ÷ 600 = 4.6, round up to 5 inlets.
Your Home Size ____________ ÷ 600 = _________ , round up to _________Inlets
Choice considerations:
Type of Wall Inlet Selected __________________
Based on your interior decor, select the color and style wall inlet most suited for your needs as shown on pages 22-25.
If you selected a VX550 or VX1000 Series Power unit, we recommend you include
VX™ Series Inlets in your system.
If you selected a VX™ Series Tool Kit or hose we recommend you select your wall inlet from the choice of inlets shown on page 23.
4.
We strongly recommend including at least one VacPan™ or VacuSweep
®
for use in kitchens, pantries, laundry rooms or other locations, which have hard surface flooring. See page 9 to select the right VacPan™ for you.
VacPan™ or VacuSweep ® _____________________ Qty ____________________
5.
For determining the amount of tubing and fittings needed:
Typical installations require about 16 ft. of tubing for each Wall Inlet and VacPan™ used. To estimate the amount of tubing required, multiply the # of Inlets and VacPans™ _____________ X 16 = ___________ ft.
Based on the number of Wall Inlets in your system, select the series kit needed for your style Wall Inlet as shown on pages 22-25. ____________________________
Congratulations... You have quickly and easily selected all the basics for your Central Vacuum System!
