Attaching Inlet Valves
(for electrified inlet valves see page 11)
3.10 Connect low voltage wires to screws on back
of inlet valve. Hold entire assembly in place with
coat hanger wire while twisting the inlet valve into
the mounting plate.
¢ IMPORTANT -
Do no glue, as rubber seal ring provides maxi-
mum air tightness.
Line up mounting screw holes and screw inlet valve
to mounting plate.
INSTALLING FLOOR INLET VALVES
For areas
where
a wall
mounted
inlet valve
is
impossible a floor mounted inlet may be used. The
same mounting plate and inlet valve is used. Floor
inlets should
be
installed
in an out of the way
location.
Vinyl or Linoleum
3.11 Cut hole (2-1/4" x 4-1/2") into floor at desired
location and screw mounting plate from below to
underside of floor.
Connect tube to mounting plate with a short 90°
elbow and connect low voltage wire to screw on
inlet valve; screw inlet valve into mounting plate.
Carpeting
3.12
Cut
a hole
(2-1/4"
x 4-1/2")
into floor at
desired location and screw mounting plate on top
under carpet. Use a coupling and a one (1) inch
piece of tubing (shown
as dotted line) between
mounting
plate
and
the
short
90°
elbow,
connected to the tube.
INSTALLING TUBE SYSTEM
Cut tubing as straight as possible, preferable with a
tube cutter or hacksaw and miter box. Inside and
outside edges
or cut should
be free of burrs to
insure leak proof joints.
Connecting Tubing
Tubing
and
fittings
are
designed
for
slip
fit
connections with 3/4" of pipe projecting
into the
fitting. It is advisable
to assemble
two
or three
sections together to check fit and position of fittings
before cementing.
3.13 Use couplings to join straight lengths of tubing.
Push the tubing a full 3/4" into each fitting to ensure
strength and to avoid having a gap that could fill
with dust and lint.
It is important that the directional flow of fittings
always
be
toward
the
power
unit to ensure
a
clog-free system.
3.14 When
certain of the fit and direction of tubing,
apply cement to the male surface of the parts being
joined, and then slip the fitting in place. This method
will avoid forming a ridge of adhesive
inside the
tubing which may allow dirt to collect. Work quickly
when
using
the
cement,
as
it
hardens
in
30
seconds.
