Screw plaster guard onto face of assembly

(See Fig. 18).

Drop bottom of tubing through 2-1/4" (5.7cm)

hole and nail stud mounting bracket assembly

to stud. Make sure center of inlet hole is at the

correct height above floor level and tubing

extends below sub-flooring.

Be sure to install a nail guard when holes are

drilled through the sole or top plates. This is to

prevent a nail or screw from penetrating the

vacuum tubing. Go to STEP 2 "Installation of

Tube System" and complete tubing system as

much as possible.

After the walls are finished and painted, the

plaster guards will be removed and inlet valves

installed. The tubing system may be completed

at that time and the power unit installed.

STEP 2: Installation of Tube System

(New or Existing Structure)

Starting at the inlet furthest from the power unit,

temporarily fasten the main line in position.

(Good idea: - From a nail or overhead pipe,

etc., make two loops of string or low-voltage

wire to pass PVC tubing through, to hold it in

position while you work.)

Push a length of PVC tubing up into bottom of

inlet valve assembly. Bear in mind, tube enters

all fittings approximately 3/4" (1.9cm). Measure,

cut, and slip-fit this vertical line to main horizon-

tal line with a 90 degree sweep elbow.

To avoid potential clogging problems when

installing tubing and fittings, here are some rec-

ommendations:

•

Always make straight cuts on tubing

•

Always remove burrs from end of tubing.

•

Be sure tubing fits against shoulder of fitting

with no gaps.

•

Glue tubing side only before assembly into

fittings.

Connect additional inlet valves to main trunk

line with the 90 degree sweep tee (Fig. 19).

Be sure to install sweep tee fittings so sweep

is towards power unit (Fig. 20).

Always run branch lines, from sides or top of

main trunk line, never out of the bottom, as this

will create a trap for dirt to fall into.

Bring low-voltage wire along as you assemble

tubing.

Join or splice wire with wire connectors at each

branch or junction in the tubing. Neatly tape

wire to tube. Proceed until the tubing system is

complete.
