Hayden Full-Door Central Vacuum Inlet Valve, White

This is a full-door central vacuum wall inlet finished in white, SKU 2000-01. The hinged door swings clear of the opening when a hose is plugged in and closes flush against the wall plate once the hose is removed.

The closed door is what seals this port, so the rest of the system keeps holding suction at every other inlet while this one sits idle. Wall inlets are built in two versions, electric valves that carry low-voltage switching contacts to start the power unit from the inlet, and non-electric valves that do not, and no switching type is stated for this listing. Check how your existing inlet starts the unit before ordering.

• Style: Full-door wall inlet valve
• Finish: White
• Function: Provides a sealed hose connection point for a central vacuum system
• Replace when: The door will not latch, the hinge has broken, or the valve housing has cracked
• Before ordering: Confirm the tubing size, mounting plate style and switching type on the valve you are replacing

Central vacuum inlets are not interchangeable across every wall thickness or rough-in plate, so match the valve you already have rather than ordering on finish alone. A valve whose door still latches but no longer sits flush is worth a closer look first, since a lost gasket or a bent door can be the real cause of weak suction at that inlet.
