Connecting The Low Voltage Wiring
Ideally, you will run the wiring and make all the wiring
connections after you have completed the tubing
system. Of course, the inlet wiring must be run at the
time the inlet tubing is threaded through the walls.
Run the low voltage wiring along the trunk line; at
approximately 12˝-18˝ intervals, use electrical tape to
secure the wire to the tubing. Then, run wiring along the
branch lines from the inlet lines to the trunk line. Also
secure this wiring with electrical tape.
At the joint of the inlet line and the branch line, make a
two-wire connection. Use wire nuts to make the connec-
tions and insulate each connection with electrical tape.
At the junction of every branch line and the trunk line, cut
the trunk line wire and connect it to the branch
line wire. Connect this wiring in groups of threes–one
branch wire, one in-coming trunk line wire, and one
out-going trunk line wire. Insulate all wire connections
with electrical tape.
Complete all wiring connections up to the power unit’s
intake access hole. You will make this connection when
you mount and connect the power unit. If, for some
reason, you want to connect the wire as you go along,
make the same two-wire and three-wire connections
where required.
Assembling A Basement Trunk Line
Basically, the tubing network is assemble the same way
for a basement installation. Begin the trunk line at the far-
thest inlet line from the power unit. Measure and cut the
inlet tubing to the length required to align the trunk line
with the joists or ceiling. Cement the inlet tubing and con-
nect at 90° elbow. Then, run the trunk line until you reach
a branch line junction point.
