Seven Step Installation

Congratulations on the purchase of your new central vacuum system. It will make cleaning your home easier and improve indoor air quality. The system typically can be installed in virtually any home with no costly alterations and very little mess. This guide will show how to install your central vacuum system in your home in just seven steps.

Before you begin installation, read this guide. Also review local building codes so your installation

complies with them.

Components of a central vacuum system installation.

The Power Unit/Dust Collection Receptacle is usually mounted in the garage, basement, utility or storage room to remove dust and allergens from living areas.

Tubing & Fittings: Dust and dirt are carried through tubing from “inlet valves” to the power unit. Note:

ASTM tubing and fittings are specifically designed for your central vacuum system. Other types of tubing like plumbing pipe are different sizes and won’t fit.

Inlet valves: Installed in the wall or floor, each inlet valve connects the “powerhead” and flexible cleaning

hose to the tubing in your home.

Installation Step 1: Choose your system.

You’ve already completed step number one...you’ve purchased your powerful new system. Next, inventory the component parts that arrived with your central vacuum system kit and assemble the tools you will need.
