dOs & dOn’TsuniT insTallaTiOn
Using the mounting plate provided with
your vacuum cleaner, secure the unit to
the wall (figure 1), at a height allowing
easy access for maintenance of the
filters, dirt receptacle and/or bags (see
pages 6 and 7).
The connections to the piping system
will require some basic tools: a mitre
box and small saw or a pipe cutter
(figure 2). See pages 9 and 10 for
general instructions pertaining to the
preparation of PVC pipes. To simplify
matters, installation kits, including
necessary fittings, pipes, glue and
wiring, as well as a detailed instructions
booklet, are available from Mvac service
centers.
Contrary to all other connections
in the piping system, do not glue
the last fitting to your unit. Mvac
central vacuums are equipped with an
adjustable air intake valve (figure 3),
which does not require glue. An airtight fit is achieved with the screw-type
adjustment on the fitting itself.

INSTALLING INLETS
When installing your vacuum inlets, we recommend that the principle of electric
polarity be taken into account. Ensure that the wire connected onto contact A
on inlet 1 is the same as that connected to contact A on inlet 2, and so on. Do
not cross, reverse or interchange wires.
