The PVC piping is installed through interior walls, attic, basement, built-in cupboards and under kitchen units and connects strategically located inlets to the power unit. Inlets can be mounted on the wall or floor and are best located near doors in hallways, landings or outside en suite bathrooms.
With a SMART vacuum hose of between 25ft (7.5m) and 30ft (9m), usually two inlets are needed on any one floor. Regardless of whether you intend to install your SMART yourself or take advantage of our complete installation service, we will provide you with a bespoke system designed to meet your requirements.
