How to install central vacuum system

Build a central vacuum system

Laying the pipe network

Pipes and fittings make up the pipe network.

Correct installation is essential for the operation of the system. Here are the main concepts:

Lay pipes avoiding unnecessary routes
Cut pipes with a pipe cutting tool
Match the pipe to the fitting stop
Apply the glue only on the pipes or on the male of the fitting
The bend radius must be executed with 45° fittings
Use the double-ended joint for linear branches
Install branches respecting the suction direction

The installation of the pipe network can also be carried out as a preparation during the installation of the other systems.

Connecting vacuum inlets

The vacuum inlets are connected to the pipe network and convey the dirt to the collection bucket.

In order to install the vacuum inlets, it is necessary to:

Always install backup boxes flush with plaster
Use the universal backup box with curved connector
Use the straight junction box in case of house renovation, counter and movable walls
Use the extension kit if the backup box is set back from the plaster line.
Connect vacuum inlets in parallel

The vacuum inlets can be positioned at the same height as switches or inlets as they are identical in appearance and design to the chosen civil series.

Connecting vacuum inlets

The vacuum inlets are connected to the pipe network and convey the dirt to the collection bucket.

In order to install the vacuum inlets, it is necessary to:

Always install back-up sockets flush with plaster
Use the universal backup box with curved connector
Use the straight junction box in case of house renovation, counter and movable walls
Use the extension kit if the backup box is set back from the plaster line
Connect vacuum inlets in parallel

Central vacuum unit installation

The central vacuum unit can be installed anywhere, preferably in a utility room, cellar, garage, storage room, basement or balcony.

Mount it at a height of more than 10cm from the ground
Ensure that weather protection is in place in case of outdoor installation.
If the installation is on the upper floors of the building, choose a higher motorisation
Connect the control unit to the pipe network with the appropriate kit
Connect the power supply and the microswitch line of the vacuum inlets
An auxiliary signal can be connected as an option for integration with a home automation system or a remote control panel
If the exhaust pipe is ≥ 5m, a larger diameter must be used (e.g. Ø63mm)

The connection of the exhaust to the outside ensures that micro-dust, mites, allergens and pollutants are expelled
