Product details
Part 5586W finishes out a Vacuflo installation as a white utility valve, an inlet you add anywhere along the piping run rather than one that replaces an existing wall plate. Utility valves are the practical, unglamorous half of running vacuum lines through an entire house: put one in a garage, workshop, or basement and suction sits ready right where messes tend to happen, sawdust, potting soil, garage debris, without dragging a portable machine out there.
Fitting one to a Vacuflo system is straightforward. Pick a convenient spot for the valve and tie it into the piping already run to that area, and after that, cleanup is as easy as pulling the hose instead of hauling a separate machine off a shelf. Like every inlet on the system, this valve only performs as well as its seal, and a door that fails to close all the way drags down suction system-wide, not only at this one connection point, which is why a weak-suction complaint at one end of the house can trace back to a valve at the completely opposite end.
- Part: 5586W
- Finish: white
- Use: Vacuflo central vacuum utility connection point
Adding a utility valve is also how many owners extend a central vacuum system into a space the original installer skipped, a garage or workshop where the piping stopped just short of where the mess actually happens. The white housing stays unobtrusive against most wall colors. Confirm the valve style your Vacuflo system uses before ordering, since inlet and utility valve fittings vary across the brand's product history and are not universally interchangeable, and mismatched hardware is a common source of a poor seal even when the valve looks like the right part at a glance.
