Before starting to design the Beam Central Vacuum system into your home, it is
important that you understand all the implications on HOW it can be installed.
Refreshingly, it is fairly simple to install.

The most popular locations for the appliance to be mounted are on a wall in a:
! garage
! utility room
! under the stairs
! loft
! basement
! plant room
! cupboard (the smallest being a 500mm kitchen unit).
A bucket model, (dirt collects at the bottom of the appliance) should be fixed at
elbow height so that you can empty it easily with the top of the appliance no less than
30cm from the ceiling. If it is a bag model, it should be no less than 30cm from the
floor and there will need to be enough space above the appliance to remove the bag
along the entirety of its length (about 75cm).
Because the filters within the appliance are to a high standard, (98.3% filtration at 0.3
microns) the exhaust doesn’t always need to be vented to the outside, especially if it
is located in a garage, plant room or basement. However, if the appliance is in a
popular area of the property and it is convenient to do so, venting to an internal void
(eg under the floor) or externally, is quite useful in reducing exhaust noise as well.

IF YOU PLAN TO VENT THE EXHAUST, THE LENGTH OF PIPE SHOULD BE NO
LONGER THAN 3M AWAY, WITH AN EXHAUST VENT-FLAP FITTED TO THE
OUTSIDE, TO STOP WATER AND VERMIN FROM GETTING INTO THE EXHAUST
MUFFLER. (SEE OUR PRICE LIST).
