CENTRAL VACUUM INSTALLATION KITS
Central Vacuum Inlet Valve Kits
Simplify your central vacuum installation
with complete inlet valve kits designed
to provide the essential components
needed for each vacuum inlet location.
Instead of purchasing every fitting,
pipe section and wire connection
separately, valve kits help make
planning and installing a central
vacuum system easier.
As a general starting guideline,
plan for approximately one central
vacuum inlet valve for every
675 square feet of living space.
Divide your home's total square
footage by 675 and round up
to estimate the number of
inlet locations you may need.
Actual requirements will depend
on your floor plan, hose length
and accessibility of each room.
01
Estimate Your Inlet Valve Needs
Start with approximately
one inlet valve per
675 square feet, then
verify that your vacuum
hose can comfortably
reach all intended
cleaning areas.
02
Convenient Installation Bundles
Valve kits combine
installation materials
such as tubing, fittings
and control wire,
helping reduce the need
to purchase individual
components separately.
03
Plan for Your Home's Layout
Multi-level homes, long
piping runs and vaulted
ceilings may require
additional tubing,
fittings or inlet
locations beyond the
initial estimate.

CENTRAL VACUUM VALVE KIT BUYING GUIDE
How Many Central Vacuum Inlet Valve Kits Do You Need?
Choosing the right number of inlet
valve kits is an important part
of planning a central vacuum
installation. A common starting
estimate is one inlet for every
675 square feet, but proper
placement should also account
for hose reach, furniture,
room layouts and multiple
levels of your home.
01
Calculate Your Initial Valve Estimate
Divide your home's total
square footage by 675,
then round up to the
next whole number.
For example, a
2,000-square-foot home
would have an initial
estimate of three inlet
valves. Use this as
a planning guideline,
not a final layout.
02
Verify Hose Reach & Coverage
Before finalizing inlet
locations, check that
your selected vacuum
hose can reach every
intended cleaning area.
Account for hallways,
corners, furniture,
stairways and rooms
that may require
additional access.
03
Allow for Additional Installation Materials
Valve kits help simplify
material planning, but
certain homes may need
extra pipe, fittings
or wire. High ceilings,
long runs between inlet
locations and the power
unit, or unusual layouts
can increase material
requirements. Review
each kit's contents
before ordering.
