VacuFlo Low Voltage Inlet Valve Conversion Kit for Pullman Holt Central Vacuum Systems
Best upgrade for homeowners modernizing older central vacuum inlet valves.
This VacuFlo Low Voltage Inlet Valve Conversion Kit is designed to upgrade your existing VacuFlo central vacuum system. It effectively converts "Automatic" or "Semi-Automatic" 4-screw VacuFlo mounting plates with a 1.65-inch inlet opening to the industry-standard 1.75-inch size. This allows for the installation of a standard inlet valve door with a 1.5-inch hose opening, ensuring broader compatibility with newer accessories. The kit includes an adapter plate, gasket, four mounting screws, and an instruction sheet for a straightforward installation process.

Know before you buy
This kit adapts your older, non-standard 1.65-inch VacuFlo mounting plate to the modern 1.75-inch industry standard. It allows you to replace outdated or damaged inlet valves with current, widely available models that accept standard 1.5-inch vacuum hoses.
It is specifically designed for systems using 'Automatic' or 'Semi-Automatic' 4-screw mounting plates with a 1.65-inch opening. If your current plate has a different configuration or size, this kit will not be compatible.
Not necessarily. The kit includes an adapter plate, gasket, mounting screws, and an instruction sheet designed for a straightforward DIY installation. If you are comfortable using basic hand tools, you should be able to complete the upgrade yourself.
No, this kit provides the necessary adapter plate and hardware to bridge the gap between your existing wall plumbing and a new valve. You will need to purchase a standard 1.5-inch inlet valve door separately to complete the installation.
Upgrading to the 1.75-inch standard gives you access to a much wider variety of modern vacuum hoses, attachments, and accessories. It also makes finding replacement parts significantly easier if your current inlet valves are worn out or broken.
