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.

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 (cut‑

to‑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

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.

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.

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

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!

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).

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. DO

NOT CEMENT THE INLET VALVE TO THE WALL

BRACKET FITTING. Tighten the valve against the

wall with screws to the mounting bracket.

Low Voltage Control Wire Connection

1 Strip back the insulation about 1/2" from the two‑

conductor low voltage control wire cable at the power

unit.

2 Using a small screwdriver or other object, press down

on one of the wire locks on the control wire connector

(top rear of motor head) while inserting the wire

into the connector hole. Release the wire lock while

holding the wire in. Repeat with the other wire and the

other hole. Polarity is not important, either wire can be

connected to either hole.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having

an equipment‑grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Power Connection

1 BE SURE THE UNIT’S POWER SWITCH IS OFF.

Plug the line cord into the AC receptacle.

2 Verify that power is available to the vacuum by

switching the unit’s power on then off.

System Testing

The AirVac central vacuum system should be tested for good suction throughout the system. Use a vacuum gauge

(VM181) at each wall inlet valve location to measure the vacuum suction.

5 Troubleshooting

NOTE: NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, DO NOT LUBRICATE MOTOR.

IF THE MOTOR FAILS TO OPERATE

1 Be sure the power unit is plugged into a working AC outlet.

2 Push breaker reset button on the power unit.

3 Check the panel circuit breaker that connects the power unit.

AFTER CHANGING OF THE BAG (PLATINUM SERIES ONLY)

1 Push down the RESET button for 7 seconds to reset the bag indicator.

IN CASE OF LOW VACUUM POWER

1 Be sure that the inlet plug is inserted into the unused power unit intake port.

2 Check that all wall valves are closed.

3 Check that all gaskets on wall valves are sealed.

4 Check to see if debris bucket or bag (Platinum Series only) needs emptying.

5 Check for obstructions in the hose, tools, or vacuum lines.

6 Check for any ruptures or breaks in the vacuum duct system.

If you are unable to resolve the operational problems, please contact AirVac technical support at (800) 421‑1587.

6 Limited Warranty

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.

3 Power Unit Installation

Power Unit Unpacking and Pre-assembly

This AirVac power unit is packaged disassembled in a nested configuration which reduces the size of the shipping

carton and allows for much smaller shelf space requirements than previous AirVac models. The power unit must

be assembled during installation.

1 Carefully remove the nested vacuum from the box.

2 Separate each of the nested parts and place them

gently on the floor.

3 Refer to the parts identification figure below to

familiarize yourself with each of the parts.

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.

1 Install any optional exhaust tubing following the

guidance above.

2 Connect the optional exhaust tubing to the muffler.
