Connection From Below

• Turn the power to the vacuum unit Off. Measure distance (X) between the kickplate face and the inside edge of the cabinet, Then add 2 3/4 to the measured distance. Fig 1. Measure out the new distance (X + 2 3/4") from the cabinet door, to the reference mark.
• Drill a small reference hole down through to the basement. Fig 2. Locate the reference hole in the basement and verify that there are no obstructions within 2 inches of either side and 4 inches behind.
• Cut a 2 1/2" diameter hole from the basement up into the base of the counter using the reference hole as a center. Fig 3.
• Using the reference hold as a center, cut a 2 3/8" high by 6 5/8" wide rough opening in the kickplate face. Fig 4.
• Glue the long socket of the tight elbow 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 to test the connection. After successfully completing the test, turn the power to the vacuum unit Off. Wrap a piece of wire/string around the pipe. Using the wire/string to temporarily hold the pipe and elbow in place, insert the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve into the cabinet base and elbow. DO NOT GLUE this connection, it is designed for a friction fit. Fig 5.
• Remove the wire/string. With the door in an open position, secure the VacuSweep Sweep IKnlet Valve to the cabinet base using #6 screws. Fig 6. Ensure that the spring on the electrical connector has 1/8" clearance to the rough opening. Continue with the remainder of central vacuum connections. When complete, turn the power to the vacuum unit On.

Connection From Behind

• 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. Then add 2 3/4" to the measured distance. Fig 1. Measure out the new distance (X + 2 3/4") from the cabinet door, to the reference mark.
• Drill a small reference hole down through to the basement. Fig 2. Locate the reference hold in the basement and verify that there are no obstructions.
• Using a reciprocation saw, cut an access hole in the floor under the cabinet and approximately 8" behind the location of the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve reference hold so that the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve can be connected to vacuum pipe by reaching through the access hole. Fig 3.
• Using the reference hole as a center, cut a 2 3/8" high by 6 5/8" wide rough opening in the kickplate face. Fig 4.
• Insert a coupling onto the rear of the housing. DO NOT GLUE this connection, it is designed for a friction fit. Fig 5. Make the terminal connection 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 successfully completing the test, turn the power to the vacuum unit Off. Insert the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve into the cabinet base and pipe.
• With the door in an open position, secure the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve to the cabinet base using #6 screws. Fig 6. Ensure that the spring on the electrical connector has 1/8" clearance to the rough opening. From the basement reach through the access hole and glue a section 2" central vacuum pipe to the coupling. Continue with the remainder of the central vacuum connections. When complete, turn the power to the vacuum unit On.

Connection In Wall

• 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 rest of the system. Fig 1.
• Holding the drill at a 45° degree angle as close to the wall as possible, between located studs, drill a small reference hold through the floor and sub floor. Locate this reference hold frmo beneath and measure over approximately 1 7/8" to center of base place of wall. Ensure you have 1 1/2" clearance from any obstacles if connecting from below. Fig 2.
• 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 cenntered over the reference hole. Fig 3.
• Using the reference hole as a center, cut a 2 3/8" high by 6 5/8" wide rough opening in the wall and baseboard. Fig 4.
• Glue the long socket of the tight elbow 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 successfully completing the test, turn the power to the vacuum unit Off. Wrap a piece of wire/string around the pipe. Using the wire/string to temporarily hold the pipe and elbow in place, insert the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve into the opening at the base of the wall and elbow. DO NOT GLUE this connection, it is designed for a friction fit. Fig 5.
• Remove the wire/string. With the door in an open position, secure the VacuSweep Sweep Inlet Valve to the wall using #6 screws. Fig 6. Ensure that the spring on the electrical econnector has 1/8" clearance to rough opening. Continue with the remainder of central vacuum connections. When complete, turn the power to the vacuum unit on.
