1 New Construction Vacuum Duct and Wall Inlet Valve Installation
Valve Brackets for Wall Inlet Valves
1 Locate the first valve bracket at a point the farthest distance from the power unit. From this location, select additional valve locations. Each location should allow vacuuming in all corners of the room with a 30’ hose. Remember walls and furniture can shorten the distance serviced by a valve in some areas, so be sure to locate inlets with furniture and walls in mind.

Vacuum Duct System
1 After the valve brackets are nailed in place, drill a
2-9/16” diameter hole in the header plate directly above each valve bracket. Cement a RISER tube from the valve bracket, extending the tube through the hole in the header plate for each valve.
2 Starting from the farthest valve bracket, lay tubing (cutto-length) on top of ceiling joist and work toward the power unit location. All sweep fittings must curve
in the direction of air flow. Connect all risers from valve brackets to the main duct line using only 90°
Sweep Tee Fittings (VM106) or 90° Sweep Fittings
(VM103). Cement all duct connections at the time
of installation. There cannot be any air leaks in the duct systems. Testing of vacuum integrity with wall inlet valves installed is highly recommended. Vacuum leaks will affect system performance.

1 Low voltage 18-gauge, 2-conductor cable connects all inlet valves to the power unit. When a hose is inserted into the wall inlet valve, the switch in the hose activates the power unit automatically; turning the switch off or removing the hose stops the power unit. Low voltage cable follows the same route as the vacuum duct system. Route the 2-conductor cable from each valve bracket, up the risers to the main duct line.
2 Splice each additional riser cable to the main duct cable using wire nuts. All connections will be in PARALLEL.
3 Secure the wiring to the horizontal main line ducts with tape or quick clips (VM450), but DO NOT TAPE THE
CABLE TO THE RISERS. Secure the loose cable end at each valve bracket, allowing 6” of extra cable for each inlet valve connection and 18” of extra cable at the power unit location.
Wall Inlet Valve Trim-out
1 When the installation is ready for trim-out, connect the wires from a wall inlet valve to the cable that descends from the riser at the valve bracket.
2 Slide the wall inlet valve into the fitting on the valve bracket.
CAUTION
DO NOT CEMENT WALL INLET VALVES TO THE
VALVE BRACKET FITTING! Occasionally, wall inlet valves require replacement due to leaky gaskets or other damage. If the wall inlet valve is cemented to the valve bracket fitting, the wall inlet valve cannot be replaced.
3 Secure the wall inlet valve to the valve bracket with the two wall plate screws.

2 Existing Construction Vacuum Duct Installation Techniques
Overhead Vacuum Duct Installation
Two people are normally required to perform overhead vacuum duct installations. Power unit installation requirements are the same as in new construction. Wall inlet valves should be limited to interior walls. Exterior walls contain insulation and are not normally accessible from inside the roof to drill holes for the vacuum duct.
1 After marking a wall valve location, check inside the roof area to see if a hole can be drilled in the header plate for the tubing. BEFORE DRILLING,
CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING. If there are no obstructions, drill a 2-9/16” diameter hole in the header
OVERHEAD RISER INSTALLATION
LOWER RISER
TUBE DOWN
FROM ATTIC
RISER TUBE plate. It is possible that you will hit a fire block about halfway down the wall. If this is the case, you must use an extension drill and drill through the fire block. Make sure the drill is straight up and down or you might drill through the side of the wall!

TO CONNECT SEVERAL
SHORT LENGHTS OF
TUBING 2 After holes are drilled, lower tubing and the low-voltage control wire from inside the roof to the wall valve.
Seldom is the roof high enough to use a single length of tubing. As the tube is dropped down the wall to the valve location, several short lengths of tubing should be cemented together with a straight coupling (VM102).
WALL INLET VALVE
INSPECTION HOLE
3 At the wall valve location, drill a 1” diameter hole in the wall. Using a flashlight from the attic, check for hole alignment. Then cut a rectangular hole 2-½” horizontal and 3-½” vertically from the center of the 1” diameter hole. This hole will allow an adapter (VM107) to make contact with tubing inside the wall. CEMENT THE
ADAPTER TO THE TUBING.
4 Secure the adapter to the mounting bracket (VM142) with screws. After the mounting bracket is attached to the adapter, the completed assembly inside the wall is ready for the inlet valve (VM195).
5 Connect the low-voltage control wires and slide the inlet valve into the fitting on the valve bracket.

Overhead Vacuum Duct Installation (continued)
6 Secure the inlet valve to the valve bracket with the two wall plate screws.
7 Repeat steps for each wall inlet valve location.
Under the Floor Installation
In homes with a pier and beam foundation or basement, either the overhead or an under the floor installation can be made. Sometimes under the floor installation is easier in an existing home, especially if the roof has a low pitch and clearances in the attic adds to the installation problem.
Under the floor installation also eliminates encountering fire blocks in the wall. Shorter risers are also utilized, eliminating the longer tube drop from the attic.
1 Vacuum tubing should be secured to floor joist with perforated nailing strips or tube straps.
2 Generally, follow the overhead installation steps, but from below the floor, to install each wall inlet valve.
Alternate Vacuum Duct Riser Installation
An effective technique highly suitable for many types of construction with adequate working room inside the attic is to make drops to the wall inlet valves through the ceiling, then route the tube through the wall at inlet level for the inlet valve on the opposite side of the wall. If this method is used, the drop from the inside of the attic for the riser can be made in the corner of a closet, utility room, etc. where the tubing is not visible or not objectionable to the Homeowner. On occasion this might be the only alternative for placing an inlet valve in a desired location.

Power Unit Mounting
1 Determine the mounting location for the power unit. Be sure clearance dimensions are followed. The power supply cord length is 5 feet. An AC power outlet of the proper type on a dedicated circuit breaker must be available within 5 feet so the power supply cord can be directly plugged into the electrical outlet. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.
2 Use a stud finder to locate a wall stud for attaching the mounting bracket. Mark the stud location.
3 Attach the mounting bracket to the wall, centered on the marked stud, with the bottom edge 40" above the floor, using the two 1/4" x 2" lag screws and a 7/16" socket.
4 Carefully hang the vacuum body by sliding the body’s mounting tab into the mounting bracket slot.
5 Fit the motor head onto the vacuum body with the controls facing forward latching the two locking snaps.
6 Hang the debris bucket on the two bucket slide latches.
Swing the two slide latch handles up to lock the debris bucket into place.
7 Slide the exhaust muffler onto the exhaust elbow.
Optional Exhaust Tubing
The vacuum’s exhaust can be piped away from the power unit if desired or required. The exhaust tubing must vent to the outside of the house, NOT INTO THE
ATTIC. A louvered exhaust vent cap (VM136) is available to terminate the exhaust tubing. Steel tubing is also available for the exhaust tubing and may be required by local building codes.
CAUTION
In order to avoid motor failure resulting from excessive back pressure, DO NOT install more than 30 feet of exhaust tubing and DO NOT install any bends in the exhaust tubing closer than 18" from the exhaust muffler.
