AS-40 Inlet Valve with Reducer
Standard wall inlet with reducer. The valve that ships in the AF-01 set.
The other half of a piped central vacuum: the wall inlets your hose plugs into, and the pipe fittings that tie inlets and VacPorts into the system.
Where a VacPort is the sweep-in port at floor level, the inlet valve is the conventional port on the wall that your hose plugs into.

1 AS-40-X inlet valve, 1 P-20 elbow, 1 P-21 hose-to-pipe elbow, 2 D-900-E couplings, 1 P-30 coupling and 4 ft of X640 flex hose.

2 in. flexible installation hose. Bends around joists where rigid pipe will not.



A retail A-900 LED VacPort with trim plate, plus a matching AS-40 wall inlet valve and the fittings to pipe both: P-20, P-22, two P-30, P-40 wye, 6 D-900-E couplings, 4 ft of X640 hose and 6 ft of wire.

An inlet valve is the wall port your cleaning hose plugs into. A VacPort is a sweep-in door at floor level that nothing plugs into. Both tie into the same pipe system, and most homes have both.
They are made for standard 2 in. central vacuum pipe and installation hose, the size most North American piped systems use.
Often none on a replacement. For a new port: a P-41 sweep tee off the main line, a P-21 elbow and a P-30 coupling, or the A-950-X kit, which has those plus hose and wire.
