GENERAL INFORMATION

The NuTone Central Cleaning System consists of a Central
Power Unit, PVC Tubing, PVC Fittings, automatic switch
operated Wall Inlets, a flexible hose and various cleaning
attachments.
LAYOUT AND PLANNING EXAMPLES
As an aid in planning the installation, look at the following

examples.

THE RANCH STYLE HOUSE
Here the power unit is mounted in the
garage. The intake and exhaust tubing,
the only exposed
EXHAUST
tubing in the
installation, runs up
the garage wall and
into the attic.
The trunk line runs
horizontally through
the attic from the
power unit to the
farthest inlet location.
Branch lines spread
throughout the attic,
connecting the trunk line
to the inlet tubing. Each inlet tube is threaded
vertically through an inside wall. Located in hallways,
and in large rooms, the inlets are placed to provide maximum
access to all cleaning areas. Refer to Figure 1.
THE TWO-STORY HOUSE
In this installation, the power unit is mounted in the basement,
conveniently located for shop use and messy cleaning jobs.
The intake tubing runs up the basement wall and connects
to the main trunk line, which runs along the unfinished basement
ceiling. Two first-floor inlets are connected to the trunk line by
vertical inlet lines run through interior walls. In the center
of the house, a vertical branch line runs from the basement
trunk line, through stacked closets, up into the attic.
A second trunk line runs across the attic and two branch
lines connect to inlet lines which are dropped down
through upstairs interior walls. Refer to Figure 2.
The double-trunk line system is commonly used
in two-story houses. Finding the "key" to an accessible
vertical area is the most important step in this kind
of installation.
