CONNECTION FROM BEHIND
Refer to Figure 49.
1. Turn the power to the vacuum unit OFF. Choose a
location under the cabinet for the VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve so
that it can be connected to the central vacuum pipe.
Measure distance (X) between the kickplate face and the
inside edge of the cabinet. Then add 2
¾” to the
measured distance. See Figure 49-1. Measure out the new
distance (X+2
¾”) from the cabinet door, to the reference mark.
2. Drill a small reference hole straight down through to the
basement. See Figure 49-2. Locate the reference hole in
the basement and verify that there are no obstructions.
3. Using a reciprocating saw, cut an access hole in the floor
under the cabinet and approximately 8” behind the
location of the VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve reference hole so
that the VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve can be connected to
vacuum pipe by reaching through the access hole.
See Figure 49-3.
CONNECTION IN A WALL
Refer to Figure 50 on page 25.
1. Turn the power to the vacuum unit OFF. Remove
the baseboard and locate studs in the wall where
VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve will be installed. Locate a
position where the inlet will be clear of
vertical studs and have free access either up or
down dependent on location of central vacuum
connection to the rest of the system. See Figure 50-1.
2. Holding the drill at a 45˚ angle and as close
to the wall as possible, between located studs,
drill a small reference hole through the floor and
subfloor. Locate this reference hole from beneath
and measure over approximately 1 7/8” to center
of base plate of wall. Ensure you have 1 ½"
clearance from any obstacles if connecting from
below. See Figure 50-2.
3. If installation is from below use a 2 ½”
diameter hole saw to remove wood floor and
base plate, sufficient to locate VacuSweep
®
Inlet
Valve centered over the reference hole. See
Figure 50-3.
4. Using the reference hole as a center, cut a
2 3/8” high x 6 5/8” wide rough opening in the
wall and baseboard. See Figure 50-4.
5. Glue the long socket of the tight elbow (part no.
CF382S) onto a section of 2” central vacuum pipe.
Make the terminal connections to the VacuSweep
®
Inlet
Valve by sliding the low voltage wire into wire clips. Turn
the power to the vacuum unit on to test the connection.
After successful completion of the test, turn power to
the vacuum unit OFF. Wrap a piece of wire/string
around the pipe. Using the wire/string to
temporarily hold the pipe and elbow in place, insert the
VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve into the opening at the base of
the wall and elbow. DO NOT glue this
connection (Designed for friction fit). See Figure 50-5.

4. Using the reference hole as a center, cut a 2 3/8” high
x 6 5/8” wide rough opening in the kickplate face.
See Figure 49-4.
5. Insert a coupling (part no. CF388) onto
the rear of the housing. DO NOT glue this connection
(Designed for friction fit). See Figure 49-5. Make the
terminal connections to the VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve by
sliding the low voltage wire into wire clips. Turn the power to
the vacuum unit on to test the connection. After successful
completion of the test, turn power to the vacuum unit OFF.
Insert the VacuSweep
®
Inlet Valve into the cabinet base and pipe.
6. With the door in an open position, secure the VacuSweep
®
Inlet
Valve to the cabinet base using #6 screws. See Figure 49-6.
Ensure that the spring on the electrical connector has 1/8”
clearance to rough opening. From the basement reach through
the access hole and glue a section of 2” central vacuum pipe to
the coupling. Continue with remainder of central vacuum
connections. When the vacuum system is complete, turn the
power to the vacuum unit on.
