Rough-In Kit Installation Instructions

Cardboard Protective Dust Cover - DO NOT DISCARD!

The Cana-Vac Doc IT System is available with a 45 or 55hose depending on which Finish Kit Model is purchased.

The location for installation should be where themaximum coverage in the home is possible, typicallynear the center of the house. This can be achievedby using a 50 measuring tape or a pre-measured 50cord for a 45 hose. Use a 60 measuring tape or cordfor a 55 hose.

Do not install on a load bearing wall, fire wallor exterior wall as a 2 vacuum source pipe, 120V AC power and a low voltage line will be runfrom their locations to the System itself.

Once a location has been selected, construct a free space area in the stud wall starting 5 abovethe floor that is to be 30 1/2 W x 56 H.

The PVC pipe and the low voltage lines enter in the upperright hand corner. Facing the cavity, the 120V AC line entersthe upper left corner of this free space. The 2 vacuum lineand the low voltage lines run to the vacuum source and the120V AC line runs to a 15 Amp GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). Mark as GFCI Cana-Vac Doc IT . Do not connect at this time.

THE WALL CAVITY IS NOW READY FOR INSTALLATIONOF THE RETRACTOR CABINET.

Retractor Cabinet Installation

Make a pencil mark on the left and right hand studby measuring 42 from the top of the lower cross member (which is 5 above the floor).

Slide and hold the Retractor Cabinet up over the2 vacuum pipe, which extends 2 into the free space,until the bottom of the Retractor Cabinet is at the 42marks.

Temporarily install One (1) - #6 x 1 drywall screw in the face of the Retractor Cabinet, level the box and install a second temporary screw on the opposite side.

Trace around the flanges on the 2 x 4 studs andremove the Retractor Cabinet. Router or chisela recess for the flanges so that the Cabinet isflush with the face of the studs.

Apply glue to the pipe and coupling on the Cabinet.Slide Cabinet into previous location and install screws.

There will be a low-voltage wire pair near the location of the 2 vacuum pipe. Pull approximately 18 of thiswire pair through the hole on top of the RetractorCabinet to the left of the position where the pipe entersthe Retractor Cabinet. Tie a knot in the wire so that itcannot be pulled back through the hole. Crimp the twoin-line Male Connectors (supplied) onto the lowvoltage wires.

THE RETRACTOR CABINET INSTALLATION IS NOWCOMPLETE AND READY FOR LINER INSTALLATION.

Storage Cavity Liner - Initial Installation Electrical Wiring

Place the 3 3/8" x 44" Stud Liners over the two verticalstuds and the 3 3/8" x 30" Stud Liner over the bottomcross member covering the 2 by 4s. Staple every 5"along the outer edge of the vertical studs and bottomcross member.

Run electrical feed through the Romex Connector at topof the Retractor Cabinet and wire to electrical codes (Fig. 5).Using Electrical tape, tape all three (3) wire connectors withapproximately 3 of tape on each connector. Reinstallthe Switch Cover Plate. Do not over tighten these screwsas it may cause stripping.

For wiring the Retractor Cabinet, remove theSwitch Cover Plate on the inside (upper surface) of the Retractor Cabinet.Note: You may have to tap staples flush

with a hammer.

Note: The second 33 x 44 Wall Cavity Lineris to be installed after all of the electrical wiringis complete to make sure the wall cavity isdust and debris free.

Note: The Switch Cover Plate must be mountedso that the OFF portion of the Switch is on the left hand side (Fig. 4) as the RetractorAssembly slides into the Cabinet, the Switchmoves to the ON position.

Place only one of the 33 x 44 Wall Cavity Liners upover the flange on the bottom of the Retractor Cabinet onthe back side and staple in place to the studs and crossmember. Make sure the Liner is taught when stapling sothere are no ripples. The Liners must enclose the entirewall cavity below the Retractor Cabinet.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER MATERIAL FOR THELINER. DOING SO WILL IMPAIR PROPER OPERATIONOF THE RETRACTOR SYSTEM AND VOID ANY WARRANTIES.

This appliance is designed to be permanently hard-wired. Consult a qualified electrician or an electricalcontractor for wiring the Doc IT System to a GFCI(ground fault circuit interrupter) 15 Amp circuit breaker.

THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IS NOW COMPLETE.

Using electrical tape, tape both sides of the Wall CavityLiner to the Retractor Cabinet to keep any dust anddebris from falling into the wall cavity during furtherconstruction.

Ensure the supplied Protective Dust Cover is placed inthe face of the Retractor Cabinet. This cover must stayin place until the Finish Kit is installed.

The unit is now ready for the Finish Kit, which provides theHose, Retractor Assembly, the Door/Bezel and the RF Controller Module (on Vacu-Vision Models only). This is to be installedafter the drywall and painting are complete.
