VacPan Installation

In Wall Installation

  • ORIGINAL VACPAN can be installed between wall studs inside walls.
  • ORIGINAL VACPAN should be located tight to one side in stud space.
  • Once the ORIGINAL VACPAN location is determined, cut a 6-3/4" long x 1-3/4" high slot in the wall and baseboard to accept the ORIGINAL VACPAN.
  • The 2x4 wall bottom plate between the two studs must be removed. This can be achieved from below using a hole saw. In new home construction, the bottom wall plate can be removed directly. A 6-3/4" length of 2x4 can be used as a temporary rough in block that will force all trades to finish around, leaving a slot for the ORIGINAL VACPAN Floor contractor must run flooring under block.
  • Run vacuum tube piping and low voltage wire from the main line to ORIGINAL VACPAN location.
  • Access for final piping connections must be made.

Access From Below
If access is available from below, cut an access hole through the subfloor underneath the wall between the studs, positioned so that final piping connections can be made by reaching through the access hole.
Access Through Wall
Access can be made through the finished wall. Cut a 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" access hole, positioned so that final piping connections can be made by reaching through the access hole. VACPAN Trim Plate can be used to cover the hole after installation.
Through Cabinet Toe Kick
Access can be made through the cabinet toe kick by cutting up to a 10-1/2" x 4" slot and using the VACPAN Trim Plate. If required, score back of VACPAN Trim Plate with a knife and snap along grooves for height adjustment.

  • Attach low voltage wires to ORIGINAL VACPAN terminal connections marked "low voltage only".
  • Slide ORIGINAL VACPAN into mounting slot and secure to wall using two #6 screws provided.
  • Reach through access hole and make final fitting connections.
