Page 3: System Planning And Layout
SYSTEM PLANNING AND LAYOUT The NuTone central cleaning system consists of a power unit, PVC tubing and fittings, wall inlets, a flexible hose and various cleaning attachments. The power unit is designed to be wall-mounted away from the living area of the home and connected to the living area by means of permanently installed in-wall tubing, fittings and inlets. -
Page 4: Locating The Power Unit
THE SPLIT-LEVEL HOUSE Like the two-story house, the split level installation commonly calls for a two-level trunk line. Here, the power unit is located in the garage. The intake tubing runs exposed up the garage wall and into the ground level section's attic. -
Page 5: General Installation Guide
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDE When the federal, provincial or state legislation comprises more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses. TOOL LISTING Depending on your installation, you may require the use of these tools. - Page 6 Making a Joint Insert the tube into the fitting, aligning the two parts as they will be installed. Mark the tube and the fitting so that you can quickly realign the joint. See Figure 7. FIGURE 7 Apply cement only to the outside of the tube. Dab the cement generously in an inch-wide band.

INSTALLATION IN NEW CONSTRUCTION WALL INLET ROUGH-IN Once the locations for the wall inlets have been determined, mount all inlet brackets. 1. Choose the appropriate mounting bracket for the inlet being installed. (See chart) 396-1 CI335 CI358 CI370 CI390 CI395 CI398 2. -
Page 8: Installing The Tubing
INSTALLING THE TUBING Use the following installation guidelines when installing tubing. 1. Start tubing installation at farthest inlet and work toward the power unit. 2. Tubing run to the power unit should be as straight as possible. 3. When assembling sections with elbows and tees, make sure the curve in the fitting is aligned so that the air flows toward the power unit. -

WALL INLET INSTALLATION Model CI370 Wall Inlet (CF361 and CF361F Rough-In) 1. Remove the cardboard plaster guard. 2. Refer to Figure 20. For some drywall or panel construction, the plaster frame will extend beyond the finished wall. In this case, remove plaster frame from mounting bracket by removing mounting screws. -

Page 12: Installation In Existing Construction
INSTALLATION IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION LOCATING ACCESS KEYS IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION Unless your home is a ranch-style house where a single trunk line can run directly through the attic or basement, you should first investigate your house to find the key to running your tubing from level to level. -
Page 13: Installing Inlet Tubing
INSTALLING THE INLET TUBING When your planning is complete, you will have to determine where all the inlets and the power unit will be located. You have also mapped out the location of your trunk line and found the access you need to run vertical tubing from one level of your house to another level. - Page 14 Drilling the Access Holes Once you are certain that you’ve located the center of the wall directly above the inlet location, use a 2½” hole saw to cut the access hole through the wall plate or header and into the wall cavity. (A 1/2” drill is recommended.) Carefully remove the drill from the hole.
-
Page 15: Wall Inlet Installation
Whatever the case, insert the completed inlet line into the access hole and thread it down inside the wall. The inlet line should be long enough so that it extends above the joists in the attic; at this height, it can be easily connected to the branch and truck lines. - Page 16 Use an awl or icepick to punch pilot holes where you marked the two hole locations. Now, drill two 3⁄8” diameter holes, using the pilot holes as the centers. Locate and drill these holes exactly as marked with the template. Also drill four pilot holes in the four corners of the marked area.
- Page 17 Hold the assembly in place for a few minutes as the cement sets; allow 5 minutes for the cement to completely dry. Now, strip the ends of the two low voltage wires, and then connect the wires to the screw terminals on the back of the inlet cover.

Insert the bottom screw into the inlet cover and through the other parts. Give the screw a few turns until it firmly engages in the mounting plate. Now, level and slightly lower the assembly. Make sure the wall is sandwiched between the inner and outer parts—you’ll be able to feel if mounting plate is firmly centered on the... -

ORIGINAL VACUSWEEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTION FROM BELOW Refer to Figure 48. 1. Turn the power to the vacuum unit OFF. Measure distance (X) between the kickplate face and the inside edge of the cabinet. Then, add 2 ¾” to the measured distance. See Figure 48-1. - Page 24 CONNECTION FROM BEHIND Refer to Figure 49. 1. Turn the power to the vacuum unit OFF. Choose a location under the cabinet for the VacuSweep Valve so that it can be connected to the central vacuum pipe. Measure distance (X) between the kickplate face and the inside edge of the cabinet.

Page 26: Assembling The Tubing System
ASSEMBLING THE TUBING SYSTEM Once you have installed all your inlets, you can complete the network of tubing that connects your inlets to the power unit. This network consists of the following parts: 90° Elbows – Used for connecting the inlet lines to the branch lines. Also used for making smooth 90°... - Page 27 Joining Straight Lengths of Tubing Both branch lines and the trunk lines may require lengths of tubing longer than those 8´ sections supplied. Use stop couplings to join two straight lengths of tubing. Insert one end of the tubing into the stop coupling; join the second length of tubing into the other end of the stop coupling.
- Page 28 Circumventing an Obstacle Wherever possible the branch lines should connect to the trunk line in straight paths. The fewer turns in a tubing system, the more efficient air flow. Accordingly, you should locate the inlets to avoid zig-zags in the branch lines. But, sometimes, when you just can’t avoid an obstacle, you are required to construct the tubing around it.
- Page 29 Connecting the Low Voltage Wiring Ideally, you will run the wiring and make all the wiring connections after you have completed the tubing system. Of course, the inlet wiring must be run at the time the inlet tubing is threaded through the walls. Run the low voltage wiring along the trunk line;...
- Page 30 Attach the tubing to the joists or ceiling with either perforated metal or support strapping (support strapping is available from NuTone). Make all branch line connections in the same way you would an attic installation. Make sure that all branch lines enter the trunk line at an angle that is at least levelled with the trunk line.
