Enlarge the hole in the exterior wall to accommodate

the inlet valve assembly (valve and mounting bracket).

(As described above in “Installing an inlet valve.”)

Inside the closet, drill a pilot hole through the ﬂ oor

beneath the opening in the wall or at a convenient

spot nearby to check for obstructions. If there are no

obstructions, cut a 2-1/4" (5.7cm) hole through the

ﬂ oor. Run low-voltage wire through the hole in ﬂ oor,

and through the wall to exterior of closet.

Pass low-voltage wire through the wire guide hole in

the inner wall closet assembly (Fig. 02) and tape low-

voltage wire to this assembly immediately behind the

bracket. Attach wires to low-voltage terminals on the

back of the inlet valve. Place the inner wall assembly

lengthwise through the wall opening and arrange the

assembly so the bracket is ﬂ ush with the inside

surface of the wall. Screw the inlet valve to the wall

(Fig. 03).

Floor valve installation.

To install a ﬂ oor inlet valve, drill a pilot hole with a

wire coat hanger and check the location as previously

described. When you are sure that the proposed location

will not be blocked by a joist or other obstruction, cut

a hole in the carpet slightly larger than your 2-1/4"

(5.7cm) drill bit. Drill a 2-1/4" (5.7cm) hole in the ﬂ oor.

Enlarge the opening to accommodate the low-volt

connections. Assemble an adapter reducer bushing

and attach the low-volt wire to the inlet valve. Drop the

low-volt wire to the basement. Screw the valve to the

ﬂ oor. Repeat until all inlets are installed.

Multi-story homes.

Multi-story homes usually require one or more inlets

on each level. Instead of trying to line up inlet valves

from one level to the next, run a separate line of

tubing from the upstairs inlet valve to a branch line

or to the main trunk line (Fig. 04).

In a two-story home, upstairs beneath the site you’ve

selected for the inlet valve, cut a hole just large

enough to allow you to reach the second-ﬂ oor sole

plate. Hint: Cut the hole low in the wall for easier

drilling through the sole plate. Cut a 2-1/4" (5.7

cm) hole in the sole plate. Install the inlet valve just

as before. Then, from the basement, insert a length

of tubing long enough to reach through the hole in the

second ﬂ oor sole plate to the site for the inlet valve.

You may have to join several lengths of tubing.

Measure and pre-cut these pieces and test-ﬁ t them

before gluing. When you do apply glue, work quickly

to prevent the glue at the top end of the tubing from

drying out before it reaches the ﬁ tting at the inlet valve.
