Designing Your Valet Ducted Vacuum Cleaning System
The Valet ducted vacuuming system has pipe running behind or inside your house walls back to a central position where the main unit is located.
If your building a new home then a quick look at your plans helps determine where the pipe work runs to and from. A Valet ducted system usually operates with a lightweight 9 metre long hose. The 9 metre hose length determines where the inlets can be located; effectively a 9 metre hose can clean a 28 meter circle.
By looking at your plan, you may need 2, 3 or 4 inlets downstairs and 1 or 2 inlets upstairs, plus you might decide on a utility inlet in the garage for cleaning vehicles. There are many inlet design finishes to suit your decor.

If you have an existing home or are renovating, the installation principles are the same but some compromise may be necessary to determine the best position for the system to operate from and a custom length vacuum hose can overcome numerous issues.
An existing home can usually have pipe work run under and through floorboards, above ceilings, up and down wall cavities and inside fitted wardrobes to find a suitable vacuuming inlet location. Please talk to your local authorised Valet dealer who is an expert in houses just like yours, they install ducted systems to existing homes every day.
