Know before you buy
This inlet is designed for standard 1-1/4 inch hoses that utilize a 2-pin jack connection. If your current hose has two small metal pins at the end that plug into the inlet, it will be compatible.
Yes, you can replace a plastic inlet with this metal version as long as the screw hole layout and the rough-in pipe diameter match. We recommend measuring your current screw spacing to ensure a direct fit before installation.
Yes, the integrated 2-pin jack system is specifically designed to transmit the signal from your hose handle switch to your central vacuum unit, allowing for convenient remote power control.
The metal construction provides significantly higher durability and impact resistance compared to standard plastic inlets. It is less prone to cracking or warping over time, especially in high-traffic areas of your home.
The inlet typically ships with the necessary hardware for standard mounting. However, if you are replacing an older unit, you may be able to reuse your existing mounting screws if they are in good condition.
