I bought a 30ft Central Vacuum Low Voltage On/Off Hose and I was wondering what Wall inlet valve I should use. Which wall inlet valve should I use?

The issue is the manufacturer of your central vac system; so, if you bought a system from company "A," you have wall outlets compatible with company "A," and any hose you buy would have to be likewise compatible.

The directions day that the dust collection shroud is designed to wrok with DWV9000 connector. I didn't have that piece and wasn't buying it. As to what size hose I used -- the small shop vac hose and duct tape to seal the two together. (A large shop vac hose was too large.

I am just a consumer and not an expert. I order this unit to replace my Honeywell attachment that broke to my central vac system. This is universal so it works both electrically or hose to wall inlet if already installed for your central vac system. If your current attachment prongs are the same it will work. If you use your system electrically then it shouldn't matter.

I purchased this hose for the F5869-900 model and it was very easy to install and works great. The only issue that we have experienced is that the hose is a little too long to wrap around the storage area. So when we store it the hose hangs off the back of the vac. Hope this helps.

this is a wall mounted unit. that's the whole point of buying it. the hose is 30 feet long. It's nice and easy to use, however it is not as powerful as a big shop-vac. I modded mine to add a cyclonic dust extractor, and i can actually attach both the wall vac and the shop vac to the cyclonic unit when i need super duper suction!

Use the "Upper Drain Port" in the middle of the back of the unit. See my review dated 7/22/2014 for list of inexpensive parts to hook up a drain hose.

On the inlet port remove the screen. Most vac hoses have an adapter that will fit inside. I installed an extra inlet port on my pool to allow vac bypass.

drill a hole in the front of the chamber, undersize the hole (slightly)for the size of hose you are going to use. They sell clear silicone hoses by the foot at Lowes. I think 3/16" ID would be appropriate for this size unit, anything smaller and the surface tension of the draining water might block the flow. Gravity will pull your water to a different bucket or sink drain. That being said, if you run your 2200 24/7, you'll probably burn out the power supply at some point.

The kit offered by FYA store will work with the "Direct Connect" System. The "Direct Connect" configuration electrified hose comes with a two-prong hose-end cuff that plugs into an "Electrified Wall Valve" only. The Electrified Wall Valve has the low voltage feature as well as ~110v supply. When you open the Wall Inlet Valve flap you would see marking such as "7 A, 125 v, 60 Hz"

I think you would be better off to put a suction diverter in your hose. Check out a Sears canister vac - they all have them on the handle.

The best thing is to have a ball valve installed in the line that you close off first before turning off the pump. The reason for not shutting it off, is the vacuum you just pulled will suck oil back from the pump back into whatever you just pulled the vacuum on if you just turn it off without some sort of shutoff valve. BTW, some pumps have this valve built in. This one does not.

Not really clear on your setup. My vacuum is hooked up to outgoing suction in side of pool under water. I have a section of hose with male end, female end is hooked on to a leaf catcher, then the rest of hose until finally, the vacuum. I COULD go through skimmer if I wanted. As for climbing walls or not, this is adjustable using less or more weight rings or the placement of them. Closer to vac = less climbing, farther from vac = more wall climb. That's how it works on mine anyway.

I use a Shop Vac to provide the suction. On both the inlet side and the suction side, I use a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" rubber coupling with appropriate hose clamps. Works just fine.

Have always used it at the main outlet. No reason that I know of that would stop you from using it to connect weeper hoses to your main hose. Pressure over length is the only issue I know of....might be better to hook it to a hose whose length is more like 75' or 50'. Longer is not helpful.

I bought an assembly that consisted of a piercing valve for the R 134A can on one end of the hose and the screw fitting for the line tap on the other with a vacuum/pressure gauge in the middle. Honestly it looked like the ones you can find at local auto parts stores. take the line tap to Auto Zone or Advanced Auto

Pigtail Connections fit into any universal wall inlet most commonly used in 99% of homes. If you have decided to use an electric power (carpet) nozzle, the 6 ft. pigtail cord will need to be plugged into an nearby 110 volt wall outlet. Direct Connection hoses and wall inlets require low voltage and 110 voltage Romex wire installed during new construction. The direct connection electrical central vacuum hose has two high voltage prongs on top of the wall end of the hose. When the hose is pushed into the direct connect wall inlet it will automatically activate your carpet nozzle by making connection with the 110 volt and low voltage connection. The DC wall inlet needs to be installed by a certified electrician.

Regular PVC pipe does not work with a Central Vacuum system. The thickness of Central Vacuum pipe is thinner than regular PVC. Also so some of these Outlet kits are specifically designed for the wiring to come down for the ceiling and piping to go through the floor. I received this type of crap and had to do some cutting to modify it and cut a longer hole in the sheetrock so that I could install it.
