In condominiums and townhouses even a closet

with louvered doors will serve as a very suitable

out-of-the way location. Should the layout of the

premises not permit any of the above suggested

locations away from the living area, mufflers are

available for most models to to significantly

reduce power unit noise.

Wiring (110V/60 cycles)

The power unit is an electrical appliance and its location should be near an electrical

power outlet. If there is no existing outlet available, a separate grounded circuit should

be installed. Check the unit's specifications for the proper power supply requirements.

Caution: Do not overload circuit!

ATTENTION! Model 4000 operate with 220 V (12 A).

Low voltage wiring

Your kit contains a special jacketed wire

(18/2 low voltage wire) which complies with all

electrical codes in any area.

The method of splicing the wire from inlet valve

to the main line may be subject to varying electrical

codes depending on the area in which you are

located. Check with the prevailing electrical codes

in your area.

Two of the most common methods of wire

splicing are "T-Splicing" or "Looping". "T-Splicing"

(diagram A) means the low-voltage wire is spliced

at the tees, and "Looping" (diagram B) consists of

looping the low-voltage wire from inlet valve to inlet

valve and joining the wires at the inlet valves. The

latter is generally preferred as this method makes

repairs easier, even when walls are boarded in, to

any unravelling of connections or breaks possibly

caused when wire was stripped.

Inlet Valve Locations

These can be installed either on the floors or in the walls, as per our mounting plate

installation diagram.

This process may require two persons. One person should hold the end of a 30' steel

tape, a string or the actual 30' hose at the proposed inlet valve location while the

other will determine the furthest reach of the 30' length.

If a blueprint of the premises is available, the use of a 7 1/2" string will be of great help

in determining the Inlet valve locations, as most blueprints are drawn to a 1/4" scale.

Simply lay the string from the proposed Inlet valve location into every corner of

the areas you intend to reach from that particular inlet.

The end of the hose should reach both floor and ceiling to enable you to

vacuum your draperies and blinds.

In doing so, consider the location of furniture, cabinets, beds and pocket doors as

they may impede the free movement of the 30' hose.

Repeat this procedure until you are absolutely sure that the most effective locations for

all Inlet valves have been chosen.

The advantage of locating the Inlet valves in inside walsl is that it affords you

almost a 60' diameter and that the wall in which the branch pipe will be located does

not contain insulation material.

Check the walls in which the inlet valves are to be mounted for possible obstructions

between studs, by tapping with your finger or a hard instrument along the wallboards

until it sounds hollow. Mark this location and continue this procedure until all Inlet valve

locations have been firmly established.

Also keep in mind that staircases are more conveniently vacuumed from the top

downward. Therefore, an Inlet valve should be located close enough to the bottom

of a staircase so that the hose reaches the upper step comfortably. This way the hose

is always behind you and doesn't get into the path of the work area.

Now proceed with the installation of the branch lines from the Inlet valve

to the intended main line location.

A word of caution

Now that you have learned about the most common installation techniques, here is

a word of caution about the most important aspects of a built-in system.

Fitting and valves!

The importance of quality fittings, fittings that have been designed to last, must never

be underestimated. Therefore, when selecting the materials and fittings for your system,

bear in mind that, after the entire system has been installed and fully concealed, fittings

and pipes are inaccessible.

Subsequent repairs to concealed sections become an very expensive proposition, leaving

absolutely no room for second guessing as to the quality of materials used. The low

quality grade of just one fitting may jeopardize the life of the entire system, no matter

how good the installation itself is. Always remember, a system is only as good

as its weakest part. As independent test lab reports have conclusively shown, some

competitor's products have tested 41% weaker, 25% lighter and bend out of shape

under heat simulation. Beware of low quality imitations and insist on Hayden fittings

and valves for best quality and value!

Don't jeopardize your system by trying to save pennies on the installation.
