Installing the Tubing

NOTE: When installing the tubing, start at the farthest inlet and work towards the power unit. Keep the tubing as straight as possible with the least amount of elbows and tees as possible to ensure maximum performance of your system. When installing tees or elbows, make sure the curve in the fitting is aligned so that the air flow is towards the power unit.

1.Cut a 2-1/2" diameter hole in the sole plate, header, or stud directly in line with the opening of the inlet fitting (Figure 5).

1.Once the drywall has been completed, the wall inlets can be installed. Start by checking the mounting plate for any debris that might have been left from the drywall process and clean if necessary.

2.Connect the low voltage wire to the terminal screws on the rear of the wall inlet (Figure 11).

2.Measure the length of tubing needed to connect into the main trunk line, adding approximately 3/4" of tubing for insertion into fittings.

3.Cut the tubing, taking care to keep the straight square edge. The use of a miter box is recommended (Figure 6).

4.Remove rough edges with a utility knife or coarse sand paper (Figure 7).

3. Align the inlet screw holes with the mounting plate holes and press the inlet

into place, guiding any extra wire back through the mounting plate as you

go. Attach wall inlet to mounting plate with provided screws (Figure 12).

1. Before the drywall is installed, run wire from a nearby electrical outlet box

or junction box through the supplied strain relief and into the hole in the

wire for connection to each inlet (Figure 8).

NOTE: PVC solvent cement “welds” the fitting to the tubing through a chemical reaction to produce an air tight seal. It is important to make sure all surfaces are clean and free of burrs to ensure a proper seal.

7.Once all tubing has been cut, cleaned, and checked for fit, apply model CVFA35 PVC cement (not included) or equivalent cement to the outside of the tubing covering about 1". DO NOT allow any of the cement to enter the inside of the tubing (Figure 9).

8.Insert tubing with cement into fitting with a twisting motion to ensure the cement has been evenly spread. Check that the tubing is evenly seated in the fitting and is aligned properly with the rest of the line (Figure 10).

2.Cap the loose wires and tuck back inside of mounting plate. Once the drywall has been completed the wall inlets can be installed. Start by checking the mounting plate for any debris that might have been left from the drywall process and clean if necessary.

3.Connect the low voltage wire to the terminal screws on the rear of the wall inlet. Second connect the black wire from the supply to the black wire of the inlet, then connect the white wire from the supply to the white wire of the inlet. Use approved electrical wire nuts for all connections (Figure 14).

4.Align the inlet screw holes with the mounting plate holes and press the inlet into place, guiding any extra wire back through the mounting plate as you go. Attach wall inlet to mounting plate with provided screws (Figure 12).

NOTE: The electrified wall inlet should be listed on the inspection report for building inspection purposes.
