Hayden 3-Inlet Central Vacu...

Product details
This kit outfits three suction points with Hayden's #1700 square-door valve in an almond finish, bundling the pipe fittings, low-voltage wire, and PVC cement it takes to tie all three into one tubing run. One box handles a full three-inlet rough-in or expansion without a separate parts trip.
Each #1700 valve snaps shut on spring tension the moment the hose disconnects, keeping dust and drafts out of the line between uses, and its internal contacts close the low-voltage circuit that starts the power unit as soon as a hose end goes back in. The square door profile sits flush and reads as a more contemporary trim shape than a rounded style.
- Inlets: Three almond #1700 square-door valves
- Hardware: Pipe fittings, low-voltage wire, and PVC cement
- Door: Square, spring-loaded, closes on its own
- Pipe size: Standard central vacuum tubing, 2 inch
Test each inlet by inserting and removing a hose end a few times before closing up the wall around it. The spring door and the internal switch contacts should both engage cleanly on the first try, and correcting a sticking door or a weak contact is far easier while the pipe is still open than after the wall is finished.
Almond reads warmer than white against beige or tan trim and older wall colors, which is worth checking against your existing inlets and switch plates before ordering. Hold a sample valve against the wall in daylight rather than comparing screen colors, since almond can look closer to white than expected under artificial light. Listed under SKU 3317-11.
