  CAUTION 

All wiring installation must conform to local
electrical codes. Wiring in the ground (soil)
must be in conduit. All wiring installation must
have a good, solid mechanical connection.
Protect all connections and/or splices against
short circuits using wire nuts.
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.

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.
2	 Nail the valve brackets to the wall studs 12” to 15”
above the floor, usually the same distance from the
floor as electrical wall outlets. Alternate wall valve
bracket configurations are possible.
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.
➤	NOTE: The use of nail guards (VM118) and plaster
guards (VM196) are highly recommended to protect
the wall valve brackets and vacuum duct system
during construction.
Low Voltage Vacuum Control Wiring

3	 Secure the wall inlet valve to the valve bracket with the
two wall plate screws.
4	 Repeat steps for each wall inlet valve location.

THIS CONNECTION!

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 OVERHEAD RISER INSTALLATION
header plate for the tubing. BEFORE DRILLING,
LOWER RISER

CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING. If there are no

obstructions, drill a 2‑9/16” diameter hole in the header
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

TUBING
2	 After holes are drilled, lower tubing and the low-voltage

control wire from inside the roof to the wall valve.
INSPECTION HOLE
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).
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 ALIGNING THE WALL ADAPTER FITTING
contact with tubing inside the wall. CEMENT THE CUT HOLE 2-1/2” WIDE BY

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.

Do not mount the motor head onto the vacuum
body until AFTER the vacuum body is hung on
the mounting bracket. Placing the motor head
on the vacuum body before mounting causes
the unit to be top heavy and may tip the vacuum
over, causing damage to the vacuum.
4	 Connect the 90° steel exhaust elbow to the motor
head. The exhaust elbow can point to the left, right or
vertical depending on the installation requirements.
Secure the exhaust elbow to the motor head flange
with the #4 self-tapping screw.
5	 PLATINUM SERIES ONLY: Install the dust cone inside
the bottom end of the vacuum body as shown in the
figure. Be sure the cone snaps against the large ridge in
the vacuum body. DO NOT PUSH DUST CONE PAST
THE LARGE RIDGE!
6	 PLATINUM SERIES ONLY: Install the slide-gate collar
dust bag into the debris bucket. BE SURE TO FULLY
EXPAND THE BAG WITH YOUR HAND TO FILL THE
BUCKET.
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.
