Central Vacuum Installation Pipe, Fittings, Inlets and Tubing

We made it simple for you to find the installation components you need for your central vacuum system project.  However, we understand that the variety of options may be overwhelming at times and that's why we have individuals with product knowledge answer our telephones.

We offer installation kits for both standard and electric inlet types to make sure you purchase everything you need for your Central Vacuum DIY Installation. Kits come with pipe or without pipe, inlets, glue, fittings, wire, and instructions. If you decide to purchase standard plumbing pvc piping locally, then we include adaptors in the kit so you can connect schedule 40 piping to the central vacuum inlet valves.  Vacuum piping, standard plumbing piping or steel piping?  Is it confusing which you should use? You can read all about inlet types and piping in the links below:

• We offer you more choices - Vacuum, Plumbing, or Steel Tubing. Click to find out more

We also offer all these items for purchase individually for those who need just certain central vacuum installation components and not an entire kit. 

VacPans, VacuSweep, and VacVent

VacPans, VacuSweep and VacVent are vents and pans that when installed allow you to sweep dirt directly into baseboard or floor vents to be carried away by your central vacuum system. What a great idea especially in areas where you need quick clean ups in between your normally scheduled cleaning times. These are great in commercial installations like hair salons and retail stores and in the home, they are perfect for places you need to clean up frequently like workshops, mudrooms, or kitchens. No need to drag the central vacuum hose and tools out for those quick pick ups. Just sweep the dirt and debris into the vent or pan and it is carried away by your central vacuum system.

Reasons to use our exclusive Patent Pending Adaptor Kits

(enables you to use SCH 40 2 inch plumbing PVC purchased locally)

• Using plumbing PVC pipe will result in a slight increase your CFM or your airflow. It is the increase in area inside the pipe that offers increased air volume discharge.
• 2 Inch plumbing pipe is available almost anywhere. Vacuum pipe is limited mainly to central vacuum dealers.
• Plumbing pipe is much more substantial (thicker and stronger) than vacuum pipe.
• Plumbing pipe comes in lengths up to 20 FT which offers greater system performance requiring less cutting and gluing.
• Plumbing pipe works well under ground
• Plumbing pipe offers less chance for clogs because of the larger diameter. Actually, vacuum pipe will completely fit inside plumbing pipe clearly showing not only better structural
integrity, but allowing you to visualize the larger capacity for air flow and reduction for potential clogging.

   

Note:

Formulas utilized are the Air Velocity in a Pipe and Air Volume Discharge from Pipe. This testing was done with Vacuum PVC tubing measured at 1.88 inches ID (inside diameter) and plumbing PVC pipe measured at 2.06 inches ID (inside diameter). The calculations are over a 10 ft length.
