Clear, concise and well thought out, thank you!

[@austinhook2324]

I love central vacuums

[@evenito9455]

why?

[@WoodyBoca]

Love how they use different tube sizes. Forget about going to the Hardware store. LOL

[@Kubulek17]

It’s crazy to me how American houses are like 95% wood

[@sov19871987]

And......? The whole west coast can have an earthquake anytime, those bricks will collapse right away, but wood will bend and is very flexible

[@patmay81]

strictly speaking, conventionally framed. homes (studs at 16" o.c.) are about 17-25% wood, a lot less for energy framed walls (single top plate and studs at 24" o.c.)

[@doct0rnic]

because we are rich in timber

[@raczyk]

no primer needed?

[@dano2490]

My thoughts exactly.

[@dandunn7403]

nice vac system

[@fiouable]

So a vacuum port is now called an ingredient

[@cyclemadness]

I have a concrete foundation on ground level. Guess I don’t get to have this.

[@doct0rnic]

so you can , run the pipes in the upper crawl space and the unit in the garage

[@CommentsAllowed]

1:41 Hate companies that use non-standard fittings. They just want to make more money by selling the pipes too. Does this seriously not use schedule 40 PVC pipes of standard sizes?

[@jackm1399]

nope, the pipes are specially made to be thinner and different sizes, to increase airflow within the system. using other types of pipes can void the warranty if their is a problem

[@raterus]

I ordered NuTone branded pipe and fittings from a local electric supply store, it was actually much cheaper than if I had gone to the big box store and bought schedule 40 materials. It's also the right stuff to use and doesn't need to be deburred if you cut it correctly.

[@uawsux]

Not detailed...you added connected at vacuum....then pvc...i dont have it

[@doct0rnic]
