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
®
Sweep 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. The add 2 3/4” to the
measured distance. See Figure 49-1. Measure out the
new
distance (X+2 3/4”) 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
®
Sweep Inlet Valve reference
hole so that the VacuSweep
®
Sweep 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 24.
Connection in a wall:
1. Turn the power to the vacuum unit OFF.
Remove the baseboard and locate studs in the
wall where VacuSweep
®
Sweep 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 1/2" clearance from any obstacles
if connecting from below. See Figure 50-2.
3. If installation is from below use a 2 1/2”
diameter hole saw to remove wood floor and
base plate, sufficient to locate VacuSweep
®
Sweep 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 n o .
765504) onto a section of 2” central vacuum
pipe. Make the terminal connections to the
VacuSweep
®
Sweep 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
FIGURE 49
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. 765528 or 765529) 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
®
Sweep 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
®
Sweep
Inlet Valve into the cabinet base and pipe.
6. With the door in an open position, secure the VacuSweep
®
Sweep Inlet Valve to the cabinet base using #6 screws.
See Figure 49-6. Ensure that the spring on the electri-
cal 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.
