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 ﬂ oor 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

ﬁ t. When gluing, work quickly to prevent the glue from

drying before the tubing reaches the inlet valve.

Installing an automatic sweep inlet.

If you’re installing an automatic sweep inlet...an

automatic dustpan...a very popular option for the

kitchen, mudroom, and bath...here are some pointers.

First, determine the best place to install the sweep

inlet...usually beneath a cabinet...and remove any

molding or baseboard. Drill a pilot

hole using a length of wire coat

hanger and ﬁ nd the wire in the

ceiling below. Drill up through the

ﬂ oor beneath the cabinet to check

for obstructions...and to make sure

you can connect the tubing to the main line. If there

are no obstructions, enlarge the hole in the ﬂ oor

beneath the cabinet and check the clearances.

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.

New Construction inlet valve installation.

Select a site for the inlet valve and drill a pilot hole

through the ﬂ oor. Go below to check that the tubing

path is clear of present, or future, obstructions such as

ﬂ oor 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).

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).

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 )
