Page 3: How To Design A Beam Central Vacuum System
How to design a Beam Central Vacuum System Before starting to design the Beam Central Vacuum system into your home, it is important that you understand all the implications on HOW it can be installed. Refreshingly, it is fairly simple to install. - Page 4 2 Choose where the wall inlets/sockets should be located The main aim here is to cover as much of the house from each point, so you don’t have to keep going back to the inlet in the wall and unplugging it to reach all the rooms. Equally, you don’t want to have excess hose for half the time that you are vacuuming - you therefore need to get a happy medium between not having too-long-a hose and not having to unplug it too often from the inlet - the property DOES NOT need an inlet...

Page 6: 3 Plan Where The Pipe/Ductwork Can Be Hidden
3 Plan where the pipe/ductwork can be hidden Obviously, if at all possible, all the pipe work that joins the appliance to the inlets in the wall, should be hidden. Ultimately, you may now need to change the location of the actual appliance and/or inlets, if the route is too long and complicated to get there. -

Page 10: The Pipework
5 RULES OF BEAM CENTRAL VACUUM INSTALLATION Summary THE PIPEWORK: CLEAN CUT EDGES SWEEP T: CORRECT DIRECTION GLUE: THE PIPE NOT THE FITTING LOW VOLTAGE WIRE: LOOPED TO EACH INLET SHARP 90°BEND: ONLY BEHIND EVERY INLET If at any time you are not sure what to do - PLEASE call... - Page 11 RULE 1 THE PIPE/DUCTWORK: CLEAN CUT EDGES The pipe has a 52mm (2”) outside diameter and comes in 2m lengths. With each inlet kit you would normally get 6m of pipework, which is what we’ve calculated is the average requirement. Cut the pipe at a 90°...
- Page 12 RULE 2 SWEEP T-PIECES: CORRECT DIRECTION The pipe needs to go to each inlet/socket. You start with a main trunk and then branch off like a tree, using a t-piece to each inlet. The DIRECTION of the t-piece is VERY important, because if it is pointing in the wrong direction, there will be a sharp edge inside the pipe that things you suck-up through the hose will be able to catch on - see diagram below for the wrong and right direction of a t-piece.
- Page 13 RULE 3 GLUE - SEALING THE JOINTS Once you are happy with the layout of your pipework, the joints between the pipe and fittings (t-pieces, sweep 90° bends, couplers etc) need to be sealed. The pot of glue that will be included in the starter inlet kit is similar to a nail varnish bottle - the lid comes off with a round sponge attached (rather than a brush).

Page 14: Low Voltage Wire
RULE 4 LOW VOLTAGE WIRE: LOOPED TO EACH INLET The low voltage wire (24volt) is required so that you can turn the suction on, from any inlet/socket point located in the property. TIP: Y OU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A REGISTERED ELECTRICIAN TO CARRY OUT THIS WORK AS YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING TO ANY ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO THE MAIN PROPERTY CIRCUIT IS JUST BETWEEN THE APPLIANCE AND THE INLET The wire is two core (one blue wire and one brown) and must go from the... -
Page 15: Sharp 90 Bend
RULE 5 SHARP 90° BEND: behind every inlet The sharp 90° bend is an anti-blocking device, rather like the u-bend under a sink - this MUST be located immediately behind all inlets (including VacPans) to stop anything that could block-up the system. Any debris that can’t get past is then easily extracted by opening the inlet and hooking it out. -
