A VACUFLO^® system can be easily installed in both new or existing structures; on slabs, in crawl spaces or in basements. The power unit placement is determined, inlet valve locations are spaced throughout the home, and the tubing and low voltage wiring is run. Installation is generally completed in less than a day.

1. Power Units. The power unit can be installed in a basement, garage, utility room or other areas. It is best to choose a location near an exterior wall, minimizing the length of the exhaust run.
   
   
2. Inlet Valve Locations. Inlet valves are usually placed on interior walls, in hallways, near doorways or close to the bottom of stairs. Potential furniture placement should be considered when determining valve locations. The objective is to use as few inlet valves as possible while providing whole house coverage. Inlet valves can be situated between studs, clear of obstructions - plumbing, wiring, heating ducts, etc. They are typically positioned level with the height of electrical receptacles. In new home installations, the system is installed after HVAC, electric and plumbing, but before dry wall.
   
   
3. In-wall Tubing and Low Voltage Wiring. Tubing and low voltage wiring are run in tandem to each valve location, speeding installation time. Both are installed beginning with the inlet valve farthest from the unit.
