Shop for central vacuum inlet valves. These mount to a rough-in bracket that is behind the sheetrock, usually fastened to a stud. The central vacuum hose is inserted into the inlet valve. All valves have a low voltage connection that allows the power unit to be turned when when either a switch on the vacuum hose is turned on or the hose is inserted into the inlet. Some inlets also have a 120 volt connection that provides power to an electric powerhead.
Most inlet valves are universal, meaning that they fit into a standard mounting bracket. We carry a variety of these styles, as well as propriety inlets supplied by Nutone, Vacu-Maid and Vacuflo.
