Nutone Automatic Inlet Valv...
$34.99
Product details
This white automatic inlet, part V111W, is the wall valve where a central vacuum hose plugs in. Push the hose end into the port and the door swings open and the power unit starts; pull the hose out and the door falls shut again, sealing that station off with no separate switch to flip and no button to press before you start cleaning a room.
It is listed for the Nutone 0601 central vacuum system. Compare the new inlet against your existing wall opening and mounting hardware before removing the old one, so the swap stays a one-visit job.
An inlet earns its keep by opening and triggering cleanly every time. When the door binds, refuses to seat flush, or stops signaling the power unit on insertion, that one station goes dead even though the rest of the house still works fine. Because inlets sit low on a wall, they also take the brunt of vacuum cleaner bumps and shoe scuffs, and a cracked face plate is common well before the mechanism inside actually fails. Testing the new inlet with the hose right after installation, before buttoning up the wall plate, confirms the door and trigger both work as expected.
- Part: V111W
- Fits: Nutone 0601 central vacuum systems
- Color: white
- Function: automatic hose-insertion inlet valve, opens and starts the system on contact
Replacing a single bad inlet restores that station without disturbing the piping or the power unit anywhere else in the home, and a matched white finish keeps the wall box looking original. Keep the old inlet on hand until the new one is confirmed working, in case anything about the wall box turns out to need attention before the swap is finished.
