Installation OF A bEAM cENTRAL vACUUM sYSTEM Beam central vacuums can be fitted quickly and simply using natural spaces in your home, with no fuss or disruption. As the Beam Central Vacuum hose covers a large area, only a few points are required.
The
appliance is mounted on a wall in:
a
utility room
a garage
a loft
a cupboard
under the stairs
The
power unit is linked to wall inlets via
hidden ductwork in walls or natural voids
such as:
The vacuum ductwork is normally installed at
first fix stage at the same time as the
electrical and plumbing systems. The PVC
vacuum pipe has an outside diameter of 52mm
and comes in 2m lengths.
The whole system can be DIY installed or you
can either get your plumber, builder or a
Total Home Environment engineer to complete
the installation for you.

Plug a vacuum hose into one of only
a few wall inlets required, usually
in a hallway or landing.
A 9m hose is the
most popular length, but sizes range from
7m-15m for very large houses with
ample circulation space.
Occasionally you will require an
inlet actually in a room, if you
have a "room-off-a-room" situation
(like an ensuite/conservatory).
It is best to keep wall inlets in
common areas, to minimize disruption
to anyone who might be in the room.
Luxuries you can't do without.
Don’t forget that dirt and spills can be
swept-up in the kitchen and that with one
touch of the toe switch on the VacPan, dirt
can be whisked away in an instant with the
automatic dustpan! And what about the
clothes brush near your wardrobe?
