Remember: Apply glue only to the outside of the tubing. Hint: When upstairs, remember to aim the elbow downward. Other ways to reach the upstairs in your home are through the interiors of closets or pantries, beneath a staircase, or with floor inlets. If the inlet valve will be serviced from the attic, shorter pieces of tubing joined by couplings may be required because of overhead space restrictions. Again, measure and test fit. When gluing, work quickly to prevent the glue from drying before the tubing reaches the inlet valve. Installing an automatic sweep inlet. An automatic sweep inlet - an automatic dustpan - a very popular option for the kitchen, mudroom and bath. Here are some pointers for installation. First, determine the best place to install the sweep inlet - usually beneath a cabinet - and remove any shoe molding. Drill a pilot hole using a length of wire coat hanger and find the wire in the ceiling below. Drill up through the floor beneath the cabinet to check for obstructions and make sure you can connect the tubing to the main line. If there are no obstructions, enlarge the hole in the floor beneath the cabinet and check the clearances. VacPan VacuSweep New construction inlet valve installation. Select a site for the inlet valve and drill a pilot hole through the floor. Go below to check that the tubing path is clear of present, or future, obstructions such as floor joists, heating ducts, plumbing, wires, etc. At the inlet valve location, drill a 2-1/4" (5.7cm) diameter hole through the sole plate. The hole should be 2" (5.1cm) from the side of the stud and centered between the front and back edges of the sole plate (Fig. 05). Fig. 05 Glue a length of tubing into a stud-mounting bracket assembly. Cut a length of low-voltage wiring, bring approximately 6" (15.24cm) through top wire guide hole in stud bracket assembly and double it back into elbow hole. Tape wire to tubing at assembly elbow and again close to end, and tuck remaining wire into bottom of tubing. Screw plaster guard onto face of assembly (Fig. 06). Fig. 06 Cut hole 6-3/4" x 1-3/4" (17.15cm x 4.45cm) Cut hole 6-5/8" x 2-3/8" (16.83cm x 6.04cm ) Now, return to the kitchen/mudroom/bath to measure and saw the rectangular hole for the sweep inlet and fasten the inlet into place. In the basement, attach the tubing and string the low-voltage wire just as you would for any inlet. Hint: See sweep inlet manual for details. Stud-Mounting Bracket Assembly (New Construction) 8
