A vacuum wall inlet valve is a door or port that allows a 1.5" standard diameter hose to fit into its receptacle to connect to the piping of a NuTone central vacuum system.

Why Do I Need To Use A Central Vacuum Inlet?

To allow a place to insert your NuTone central vacuum hose. When the Central Vacuum Hose is inserted into the outlets, it will then activate the NuTone central vacuum unit to turn on. This will activate a circuit via a metal band located at the end of a typical central vacuum hose. This, in turn, sends a low voltage signal telling the main NuTone central vacuum to turn on. There are some exceptions if you might have a VacuFlo or Budd, Sears central vacuum as these are unique to these specific brands.

What Kind Of Central Vacuum Inlets Are There?

Most Inlets consist of standard universal, low voltage inlets or electric (direct connect) inlets, aka super valves which require 120 volts as well as low-voltage wiring.

Yes. Our Inlets are fully compatible with your NuTone Central Vacuum and keep in mind that Central Vacuum Inlets come in different sizes, colors, and dimensions to suit the decor of your home.
