INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

For Platinum and Red Series AirVac Units

(for Household Use Only)

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

Please read the instructions carefully! Through many years of continuous use ‑‑ and through quality tests that are

ongoing at our factory ‑‑ AirVac central vacuums, attachments and accessories have built a remarkable record

for cleaning effectiveness and safety. However, there are potential hazards that could occur if the system is not

installed and operated correctly and safely. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.

THE FOLLOWING FORMATS ARE USED FOR SAFETY NOTES IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION

This type of warning note is used to indicate

the possibility of damage to the vacuum power

unit or vacuum duct system.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This type of warning note is used to indicate

possible fire or electrical shock hazards that

may cause serious injuries or death.

7 Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot

ashes.

8 Do not use without the dust bag (Platinum Series

only) and filters in place.

9 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of

the body away from openings and moving parts.

1 0 Do not put any object into any of the wall inlet

valves or vacuum auxiliary air inlet. Do not use

the system with any vacuum opening blocked;

keep all ducting free of dust, lint, hair, or anything

that may reduce the air flow.

1 1 Turn off all controls before unplugging the power

unit.

1 2 Use extra care when cleaning stairs to prevent a

fall.

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.

➤ N OTE: 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

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.

INTAKE AND

2 Splice each additional riser cable to the main duct cable

using wire nuts. All connections will be in PARALLEL.

FROM BOTTOM

OF MOUNTING

3 Secure the wiring to the horizontal main line ducts with

BRACKET

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

8-3/4"

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

7-1/2"

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

40" TO

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.

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

"TYPE 2"

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.

WATER

AIR

1 After marking a wall valve location, check inside

LIFT

FLOW

the roof area to see if a hole can be drilled in the

header plate for the tubing. BEFORE DRILLING,

123"

118 CFM

CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING. If there are no

131"

118 CFM

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

127"

122 CFM

137"

124 CFM

plate. It is possible that you will hit a fire block about

123"

118 CFM

halfway down the wall. If this is the case, you must use

131"

118 CFM

an extension drill and drill through the fire block. Make

127"

122 CFM

sure the drill is straight up and down or you might

137"

124 CFM

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

VM195 WALL INLET

VALVE (BACK VIEW)

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.
