7) OPTIONAL: CONNECTING
THE WASTEWATER PIPE
*Drain piping available as an option.
If you intend to connect the central vacuum
to the main pipe drain, it is crucial to
install
a p-trap and a vent to the venting pipe.
FOR MODELS
DV1A150 & DF1A150
Exceptionally for these models,
the vent is supplied with the unit.

PLACE THE SKIRT
• The anti-splatter skirt caries 2 pieces; one
which generally stays put onto the main body
and a second that serves as a door. Place the
bigger part first, followed by the smaller skirt
so that it covers the opening created by the
first skirt. Make both pieces fall into the funnel.
The following pages illustrate piping diagrams, typical installations and the parts that we recommend for
the optimum performance of your central vacuum system.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• An air outlet leading to outside
must always be installed on your unit.
Make sure that
the evacuated
air does not lead under a carport.
• If your unit includes two motors, it is important to use metal piping and couplings for the air outlet.
• To determine where to locate the wall inlets, use the length of the vacuum hose as a basis, measuring
the furthest point from the wall where the wall inlets are to be installed. Do the same for all the wall
inlets until all areas of the house or building can be reached with the vacuum hose, by moving it from
one wall inlet to another;
don’t forget to install one in the garage or outside to vacuum your car.
• If your walls are made of gypsum board,
never install a wall inlet in the centre of the wall.
Drill the
holes for the wall inlets close to a wall stud or a door frame.
• Any screw length can be used if you install the piping as illustrated in
Figure A.
• If you install the piping as illustrated in
Figure B,
make sure to position the small screw in the right
place to avoid that a longer screw goes through the piping.
• Always use a short elbow when connecting the wall inlets
(Figures A and B)
to prevent long objects
(for example, a pencil) that may have been vacuumed by mistake from blocking the piping further on.
