Install Kit with 1 Electric Inlet
Includes the items pictured and comes in a handy box straight off our warehouse shelf. Add pipe (40ft recommended) and maybe some extra couplings. Buy regular PVC cement from a local store. Includes one pure white inlet valve and backing plate. The included wire is low voltage and runs from the faceplate to the vacuum canister to turn it on. In addition, Romex (110 volt) wire from a local store is need for the 110 volts. The faceplates' 110 volt wires connect to the romex you stub out from the backing plate box during rough-in.

90 Short PVC Vacuum Connector
Use this fitting at the mounting plates only. Since this is the sharpest turn in the system, potential clogging will occur with easy access - right at the inlet valve! If you need a case, enter 90 for the quantity.

90 Sweep PVC Vacuum Connector
M.D. Manufacturing sells the highest quality fittings. We suggest avoiding PVC sch40 fittings. They are thin and leave a 'step' where the pipe connects. Toothpicks or pins can get stuck creating clogs. Also make sure fittings have a 3/4" cuff, not 1/2", to provide strength at joints. If you need a case, enter 115 for the quantity.

45 Degree PVC Vacuum Connector
We suggest using 45's, even two of them when possible, to use less 90's. When the pipe line needs to run up or down, angle a 90 at 45-degrees into a 45 fitting. If you need a case, enter 125 for the quantity.

Coupling PVC Vacuum Connector
For connecting two pieces of pipe together. If you need a case, enter 200 for the quantity.
|
|
|
90 Sweep Tee PVC Vacuum 3-way Connector
For connecting a branch to the main line. Be sure the airflow is adequate. Do not install the tee backwards! If you need a case, enter 45 for the quantity.

3-in-1 Mounting Bracket PVC
Most popular bracket for all rectangle Basic Inlet Valve Covers. For new construction nail it to a stud. For existing home installation cut the plastic stud mounting side off and set it in a 2-3/8 x 4-1/4" drywall (or wall material) cutout and fasten inlet cover (with previously attached low voltage wire) for a long lasting, firm hold. When piping, connect a fitting such as a tight 90 or coupling to the flange. If you need a case of these enter 75.
