Realize a central vacuum system
Laying of pipe network
Pipes and fittings together make up the pipe network.
Correct installation is essential for the operation of the system. Here are the main notions:
- Laying pipes and avoiding unnecessary routes
- Cut the pipes with a pipe cutting tool
- Matching the pipe to the fitting stop
- Spread glue only on the pipes or on the male of the fitting
- The bend radius must be executed with 45° fittings
- For linear junctions use the double-ended sleeve
- Install branches respecting the direction of suction
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:
- Always install backup boxes flush with plaster
- Using the universal backup box with curved connector
- In the case of renovations, counter walls and movable walls, we recommend the straight connection backup box.
- Use the extension kit if the backup box is set back from the plaster line.
- Connect the inlet valves in parallel
The vacuum inlets can be positioned at the same height as switches or inlets, being identical in appearance and design to the chosen civil series.

Central vacuum system installation
The central vacuum cleaner can be installed anywhere, preferably in a utility room, cellar, garage, storage room, basement or balcony.
- Fix it at a height of more than 10cm from the ground
- If installed outdoors, ensure that suitable weather protection is in place
- 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
- Optionally, an auxiliary signal can be connected for integration with home automation or remote panel
- If the drainage pipe is ≥ 5m, a larger diameter must be used (e.g. Ø63mm).
The connection of the exhaust vent with the outside ensures the expulsion of micro-dust, mites, allergens and pollutants.
