How To Do Just About Everything
Now that you have planned and roughed-in the Hide-a-Hose central vacuum retractable hose system, it is time to trim it out. If you are installing in new construction, you will need to wait until your sheet rock is up and painted, and you are nearing the completion of your construction. If you are installing in an existing home, proceed to the trim out as soon as the rough-in is complete.
If you have not already done so, purchase the Hide-a-Hose Trim Kit.
The pointed tabs are used to secure the frame to the sheetrock while you install the valve. With new construction, it is likely these tabs were cut off by the sheetrock installers. It might be helpful to push small finish nails horizontally into the sheetrock through the holes in the side of the frame.
Apply a lubricant to the o-ring. Using wire nuts, connect the two leads from the switch mounted on the outside of the valve to the low voltage wire.
Align the four holes in the valve assembly with the holes in the frame. Secure with the four screws included in the trim kit.
Install the door by lining up the door and valve hinge and pressing it into place. Now you are ready to feed your hose into the pipe and begin using your Hide-a-Hose system.
