SYSTEM PLANNING AND LAYOUT

The NuTone central cleaning system consists of a power unit, PVC tubing and fittings, wall inlets, a flexible hose and various cleaning attachments.

The power unit is designed to be wall-mounted away from the living area of the home and connected to the living area by means of permanently installed in-wall tubing, fittings and inlets.

Generally, an installation will require 3 to 4 inlets and 16 to 20 feet of tubing per inlet. It is suggested that a floor plan be used to more accurately determine the quantity of materials needed.

Use the following examples as an aid in planning the installation in either new or existing construction. You should be able to adapt the examples shown to your specific home layout.

THE RANCH STYLE HOUSE

Here the power unit is mounted in the garage. The intake and exhaust tubing, the only exposed tubing in the installation,

EXHAUST runs up the garage wall and into the attic.

The trunk line runs horizontally through the attic from the power unit to the farthest inlet location. Branch lines spread throughout the attic, connecting the trunk line to the inlet tubing. Each inlet tube is threaded vertically through an inside wall. Located in hallways and in large rooms, the inlets are placed to provide maximum access to all cleaning areas. See figure at right.

ATTIC

TRUNK

LINE

A double-trunk line system is commonly used in two-story houses. In the installation shown at right, the power unit is mounted in the basement. The intake tubing runs up the basement wall and connects to the main trunk line, which runs along the unfinished basement ceiling. Two first-floor inlets are connected to the basement trunk line by vertical inlet lines run through interior walls. In the center of the house, a vertical branch line runs from the basement trunk line, through stacked closets, up into the attic. A second trunk line runs across the attic and two branch lines connect to inlet lines which are dropped down through upstairs interior walls. See figure at right.

Like the two-story house, the split level installation commonly calls for a two-level trunk line. Here, the power unit is located in the garage. The intake tubing runs exposed up the garage wall and into the ground level section's attic. Two branch lines connect this part of the trunk line

EXHAUST to inlet lines which are dropped inside interior walls. A vertical branch line runs to the upstairs attic, where the trunk line branches into a T-shape. This trunk line connects to two upstairs inlet lines and to one inlet line which drops through an upstairs wall and down into the third-level utility room to service this entire level. See figure at right.

TUBING AND

Do not install outdoors. When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

LOCATING THE POWER UNIT

• Locate the power unit away from the general living area in an accessible location for cleaning and maintenance.

• When planning the installation of PP650 power unit, remember it is equipped with an inlet to service a garage, basement, utility room, etc., wherever it is located.

• Locate the power unit within 6 feet of a grounded electrical outlet. The power unit requires a 120 VAC power source.

• Do not locate the power unit close to a source of extreme heat (i.e.: water heater) or in an area with a high ambient temperature (i.e.: attic, furnace room).

• If the power unit is located in a closet or a small utility room, make sure the area is well-ventilated (e.g.: with door louvers).

• Exhausting the power unit to the outside is recommended for optimal performance. The exhaust should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling or a concealed space in the house.

The exhaust line should be vented outside the home using a Model 393 or CI330 wall caps.

WALL INLET LOCATIONS



Locate inlets on interior walls, choosing central locations which allow several rooms to be cleaned from a single inlet using a 30-foot long hose.



The tubing installation should consist of a main trunk line running from the farthest wall inlet to the power unit location, with branch lines running to each additional inlet. Keep all tubing lines as straight as possible and use as few fittings as possible.



Beginning at the area farthest from the power unit, choose a tentative inlet location. Measure 30 feet from the proposed inlet location to the farthest corner of the rooms to be cleaned by that inlet to determine if inlet location is proper. If working from blueprints (or building plans drawn at 1⁄4" = 1 ft. scale), use a 7½" chain as your guide to determine inlet locations.



Locate inlets within six feet of an electrical receptacle to allow use of optional current-carrying hose.



Be sure inlets will not be blocked by doors or furniture.



Be sure inlets will not interfere with electrical, plumbing or other mechanical installations.



Move tentative inlet location if necessary. Use the same procedure to determine each additional inlet location, always working toward the power unit.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDE

When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses.

TOOL LISTING

Depending on your installation, you may require the use of these tools. The power tools are recommended to make your installation proceed quickly. Also, plan a mask when cutting ducting (PVC dust) and gloves when using glue.

UTTING THE

T

UBING

Before you cut a length of tube, accurately measure the length you need. Allow 5/8” of tubing for inserting into fittings and 1½” for placing into flexible tubing. Cut the plastic tubing with a hacksaw, making sure that the cut is exactly square. (You can use a tube cutter if one is available.) Use wire cutters or tin snips to cut flexible tubing. The 8” lengths of flexible tubing supplied with each inlet should not be cut. See figure at right.

AR0016

Make sure the ends of the flexible tubing are even—trim if necessary. When you join flexible tubing to plastic tubing or to an inlet mounting plate, apply cement to both the inside of the flexible tubing and the outside of the plastic tubing or mounting plate tubing ring. Twist the two pieces as you join them to evenly spread the glue. Allow five minutes for the cement to set in flexible tubing. You may also use electrical tape or duct tape to further seal the joint.

Insert the tube into the fitting, aligning the two parts as they will be installed. Mark the tube and the fitting so that you can quickly realign the joint. See figure at right.

The low-voltage power wiring is run along with the tubing. To insure that the wire is secure and will not hang-up in a wall, use electrical tape to attach the wire to the tubing. Tape the wire approximately every

12-18 inches. See figure at right.

AO0011

Apply cement only to the outside of the tube. Dab the cement generously in an inch-wide band. Insert the tube into the fitting with the alignment marks a quarter turn apart, and then quickly push and turn the fitting to align the marks and spread the cement.

Allow one minute for the joint to dry. You may also use electrical tape or duct tape to further seal the joint. See figure at right.

INSTALLATION IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

LOCATING ACCESS KEYS IN

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

Unless your home is a ranch-style house where a single trunk line can run directly through the attic or basement, you should first investigate your house to find the key to running your tubing from level to level. Look for an accessible area free from obstructions that will accommodate the 2" tubing.

If you understand how your existing home is constructed, it can be relatively easy to find access routes to run the tubing. Refer again to the illustrations on page 4 as you consider your home construction.

Use the following procedures for installation in existing construction. Wall inlets in existing construction may be accessed from below (basement or crawl space) or from above

(attic). Instructions apply to either method.

Starting from farthest wall inlet location, install each inlet as described below. Working back toward power unit, connect each inlet line and branch line into main trunk line. See page

24. Complete low voltage wiring as main trunk line is continued back to power unit. Mount power unit and complete wiring. See pages 27-29.

AVOIDING IN-WALL OBSTACLES

Some of the keys you might find in your home are illustrated here.

HUTE

Many homes will have an upstairs closet located directly above a downstairs closet. It is easy to run the tubing from one floor level to another inside these stacked closets. In these installations the tubing is often left exposed inside the closets.

See figure below. A laundry chute could also provide access from basement to upper floors. You may also want to consider running exposed tubing through cabinets or cupboards.

The tubing which connects the inlet into the trunk line is threaded through interior partition walls. After you’ve chosen an inlet location, make sure the wall doesn’t contain some hidden obstacle which will prevent you from running tubing to the inlet.

The insulation in these walls will prevent you from running tubing through them.

Wiring may not obstruct your tubing, but you should always make sure that tubing does not damage the wiring. Electrical outlets and wall switches are signs of wiring.

UCTWORK

Avoid choosing a section of wall that contains ducting. If you see signs of ductwork—such as floor or ceiling registers— move your inlet location to another section of the wall.

TUDS

Make sure your location is between wall studs. Locate studs by tapping walls, looking for electrical outlet (usually fastened to studs), or noticing finishing nails in the floor molding.

INSTALLING THE INLET TUBING

When your planning is complete, you will have to determine where all the inlets and the power unit will be located. You have also mapped out the location of your trunk line and found the access you need to run vertical tubing from one level of your house to another level. You should have acquainted yourself with the methods of joining plastic tubing and acquired the tools you’ll need to install your NuTone Central Vacuum System.

Now, you can begin installation.

The first step to install the inlet tubing which connects the wall inlets to the branch lines. As explained before, the inlet lines run inside interior walls. You will find access to these walls through your attic or basement. Briefly, you want to find the exact location in the wall, drill an access hole through the wall plate or header, and insert the tubing into the wall cavity.

12

This part of your installation requires close observation and careful measurements. Take your time and make sure you accurately line up your access holes with the locations you’ve chosen for your wall inlets.

Drill the access holes directly above the inlet location. To accurately locate the access hole, you must find the space between wall studs where the inlet is to be located. Observe the area around the inlet location. Look for references you might be able to find in the attic: electrical wiring, ductwork, doorways, etc. Measure and note the distance from these references to the inlet location.

Enter the attic and find the inlet wall. Have a helper downstairs knock on the top of the wall right above the inlet location; locate the general area by following the sound. Most likely, you will have to clear away insulation. Ask your helper to continue knocking until you locate the area between wall studs directly above the inlet location.

Next, measure the thickness of the wall. Mark the exact center of the wall where you will drill the access hole. Remember that the access hole must be placed exactly in the Drywall center of the wall.

To locate access holes in the basement, remove the toe molding or baseboard at the base of the inlet wall. Carefully loosen the molding or baseboard by inserting the blade of a putty knife behind it.

Force another putty knife between the first knife and the baseboard or wall. Gently hammer a

AR0022 cold chisel between the two knife blades, prying the loosened molding away from the baseboard or the baseboard away from the wall.

Once you’ve found the location in the partition wall, you must center the access hole in the middle of the wall. Measure half the thickness of the wall and mark the center of the wall where you will drill the access hole. If you cannot see the plate, you can determine this measurement from upstairs. At the nearest doorway, measure the thickness of the wall, including the baseboard.

In the basement measure a distance equal to half the thickness of the wall, using the reference hole as a starting point.

AR0024 carefully.

Now, use a flashlight to inspect the wall cavity through the access hole.

Make sure no hidden obstacles will interfere with the tube installation.

For a basement installation, assemble the tubing to the inlet flexible tubing in the same way and insert it into the access hole.

AO0015

If space permits, you can assemble the entire inlet line by joining two sections of tubing with a stop coupling before dropping the assembly into the access hole.

(Remember to only glue the outside of the tubing when joining two pieces of

PVC tubing.) Oftentimes, tight attic spaces require you to begin your drop and

AO0016 then join the second section of tubing. Of course, the order of assembly, and the length of tubing required depend on your attic space and your wall height.

Whatever the case, insert the completed inlet line into the access hole and thread it down inside the wall. The inlet line should be long enough so that it extends above the joists in the attic; at this height, it can be easily connected to the branch and truck lines. that your inlet will be placed at 18” above the floor.

The wall inlet design allows you to work outside the wall— where assembly is easy and all the parts you need are accessible. First, you make a cutout into the wall and locate the flexible tubing attached to the inlet line which you previously threaded into the wall. Then, you attach the flexible tubing to the inlet mounting plate, assemble the other inlet parts, and make the wiring connections. You place the inlet assembly into the wall cutout, sandwiching the wall between the inner and outer parts, and secure the inlet tightly to the wall with two screws.

Assemble and install the wall inlet as shown in the illustrations and as explained in the next few pages. Be careful and patient as you make your first cutout and install your first inlet by following the procedure step by step—the other inlets will be easy to install in very little time.

ASSEMBLING THE TUBING SYSTEM

Once you have installed all your inlets, you can complete the network of tubing that connects your inlets to the power unit.

This network consists of the following parts:

INE

90° Elbows – Used for connecting the inlet lines to the branch lines. Also used for making smooth 90° turns in branch lines or trunk lines.

45° Elbows – Used for a 45° tubing turn in branch or trunk lines.

Start the inlet line which is farthest from the power unit.

Place 90° elbow onto a section of tubing and align it with the inlet tubing at the height it will run across the attic joists. Mark the inlet tubing where the elbow will join, allowing 5/8˝ for the tubing that inserts into the fitting collar.

AO0049

90° Tees – Used to connect branch lines to the trunk lines.

Stop Couplings – Used to join two lengths of tubing.

Now, cut the inlet tubing at the marked line. Make sure the cut is straight and even. Attach the elbow and check its fit. Then, insert the first section of tubing into the other end of the elbow.

AO0050

Flexible Tubing – Used to bypass obstacles or to make difficult S-turns in branch lines. This tubing is is not the same as the inlet flex tube.

PVC Tubing – 8’ straight sections of tubing used for inlet, branch and trunk lines.

Use the tubing and fittings to run branch lines from the inlet tubing to a main trunk line. Begin at the farthest inlet from the power unit and work your way toward the power unit. When you assemble sections with elbows and tees, make sure the curve in the fitting is aligned so that the air flows toward the power unit.

Assemble the entire network of tubing and fittings, making sure every joint is accurately cut and aligned. Then, go back and cement all the joints. You may run the wiring and make the wiring connections after the network is assembled and cemented, or you may make the wiring connections as you assemble the network. Use the method that best suits your needs.

Both branch lines and the trunk lines may require lengths of tubing longer than those 8´ sections supplied. Use stop couplings to join two straight lengths of tubing. Insert one end of the tubing into the stop coupling; join the second length of tubing into the other end of the stop coupling. Stop couplings are also used to join long vertical branches which run from one level to another level of a house.

Continue to run the trunk line toward the power unit, connecting all branch lines as you go along. Again, make sure you connect all fittings with the air flow toward the power unit.

To Power Unit

Wherever possible the branch lines should connect to the trunk line in straight paths. The fewer turns in a tubing system, the more efficient air flow. Accordingly, you should locate the inlets to avoid zig-zags in the branch lines. But, sometimes, when you just can’t avoid an obstacle, you are required to construct the tubing around it.

In the example illustrated here, you might run the branch line at an angle to avoid a chimney. Then, once the branch line has run past the chimney, you can use a 45° elbow to turn the branch line back perpendicular to the trunk line. Again, the branch line and the trunk line connect with a 90° tee.

Bring the trunk line to the access hole you have drilled for the power unit’s intake tube.

Place a 90° elbow over the

AR0037 hole and cut the trunk line to fit into this final elbow. Allow 5⁄8˝ of tubing to fit into the elbow’s collar. Connect the elbow to the trunk line so that it aligns over the intake access hole.

You will make the intake tube connection itself after you have installed the power unit.

AO0061

When you are satisfied that all fittings and tubing are aligned for maximum air flow, make sure that all your cuts are square and that all joints are tight. Then, prepare the tubing and cement the joints as described in “Working With Plastic Tubing,” page 5.

Ideally, you will run the wiring and make all the wiring connections after you have completed the tubing system. Of course, the inlet wiring must be run at the time the inlet tubing is threaded through the walls.

Run the low voltage wiring along the trunk line; at approximately

12˝-18˝ intervals, use electrical tape to secure the wire to the tubing. Then, run wiring along the branch lines from the inlet lines to the trunk line. Also secure this wiring with electrical tape.

OSSIBLE REMEDY

1. Loss or decrease of suction occurs.

• Debris pail or disposable bag is completely full.

• Empty debris pail or change the disposable bag as described in user guide on page 4.

• Debris pail gasket damaged or missing.

• Replace the debris pail gasket.

• Obstruction in the hose. A blockage in the hose can be determined by inserting the hose into any wall inlet and, while power unit is running, check each additional inlet for normal suction by holding the palm of your hand over the open inlet. If normal suction is felt at all other inlets, insert the hose into a second inlet. If the blockage still exists it is located in the hose.

However, if the blockage does not occur when the hose is changed, the blockage is probably located in the tubing system leading to the original inlet.

• Disconnect the hose from the wall inlet and insert a blunt instrument into the hose — slightly smaller in diameter — such as a flexible garden hose. Push the garden hose through the cleaning system hose until the obstruction has been cleared.

• Obstruction in the tubing system inside the walls.

• Insert hose end into any inlet to make power unit running, then place the palm of your hand over the opposite end of the hose. When you can feel the suction increase, hold your hand over the hose end for a few seconds and then quickly remove your hand. This procedure repeated several times should clear the obstruction. If the blockage is not cleared, contact your nearest

Service Center.

• Permanent filter or disposable bag torn.

• Wall inlet cover not properly sealed.

• Exhaust tubing or vent clogged.

Any third party replacement part used may cause serious damage and drastically reduce the performance level of your unit, which will result in premature failing. NuTone also recommends to contact a NuTone certified service depot for all replacement parts and repairs.
