Central Vacuum Basic Inlet Valve Covers
Basic Inlet Valve Reference Sheet
Basic Inlet Valve
Reference Sheet
All inlet valve faceplate covers on this page fit into a 1-5/8 inch diameter hole in a mounting bracket inside the wall. Each inlet valve can be mounted with the lid opening up or down. Mounting screws are about 3-7/8 inches apart on center. The diameter of the vacuum inlet hole under the hinged door is a hair under 1-1/2 inches. Note, if you need valve covers that have two small holes for 110 volts, please click here to go to Electric Valves. Also note that the FULL FACE style inlets below are the MOST DURABLE.

Watch VideoThere are two metal contact points inside the hole of each inlet valve below and two screws on the back side for the low voltage wire connection. All valves on this page are interchangeable.

REPLACE ANY TYPE OF OLDER VALVE with any of these valves (except some pre-1970 valves activated by PRESSING copper or a button, or that have a 1-1/4 inch diameter inlet hole). Check for the 1-5/8" diameter hole in the mounting bracket.

If you do not have a hose with an on/off switch on the hose handle, consider a Low Voltage Hose. They work with all these inlets and give you the luxury of turning the vacuum on and off with the hose handle switch! Have questions? Please ask here. Learn about all the different types of inlets here.
