In reply to Stephanie. I think my plumber supplied it.

That is an attractive looking vac pan – do you have the same one linked somewhere? on amazon? I wonder if we can have a plumber come up and easily (cheaply) move our central vac outlet (that is about 2 feet up on the wall) down to the baseboard and hookup that doohickey.

Sandra,
I’m so glad you posted this! After leaving my comment about adding a sweep port when we redo our kitchen, it dawned on me that I can add one now in the baseboard! The main pipe is in the attic and it will be so easy to tee off that and drop a new pipe into the wall in the kitchen. Thanks for inspiring me to think of another way to do something!!

No, you don’t have to have a basement, you can have the motor and collection canister in a closet or somewhere else. Like I said, I don’t use the vacuum ports but I do like the sweep ports – a lot! 🙂

In reply to Vicki Maiorano. I wonder if there's an attachment you can get to insert into that port to make it a sweep port. ? it is handy.
