Central Vacuum Installation

Designer stainless steel vacuum sockets

The Designer range of vacuum sockets can be fitted in either walls or floors.

Fitting of Designer sockets in the floor

When fitting vacuum pipe in the floor, the exact height of the finished floor may not be known so that the final height of the socket cannot be determined at this stage. On the assumption that the pipework will be laid on the sub floor within the 50mm insulation layer and will be covered with 50/60mm of screed, then the top of the screed is likely to be between 100-120mm above the sub floor. But the approximate fitted depth of the vacuum socket is between 80-100mm.

In this instance it is necessary to use a socket extension fitting (MEXT) to extend the spigot on the back of the socket giving a fitted depth of up to 130mm. If the final height of the vacuum socket is more than 130mm above the sub floor then an additional extension fitting can be used or alternatively use a different type of elbow fitting in the floor (see page 7). Because the fitted depth of the socket can vary somewhat, longer screws are not supplied with it, but a long wood or self-tapping screw would suffice.
