Canplas Now Has the Most Versatile Valves Ever For the Central Vacuum Industry

For many years, Canplas’ core business has been providing high quality valves and fittings to the central vacuum industry. We currently have the largest selection of central vacuum valves, and providing new and innovative products is a top priority. Now this selection is growing. Our two new electric valves, with revolutionary designs for their back mounting plates, are ready for launch into the market. They are the most versatile valves ever to be introduced to the industry and will vastly improve the installation process. Here’s why:

Reversible flange accommodates different installation requirements: Unlike a traditional valve, the flange of this new valve is completely separate from the body of the valve, and therefore, it can be placed either on the left or right of the valve depending on your installation requirements. The installer can choose to install the flange in either direction and the electrical box will remain at the top.

Removable flange allows faster wiring:

Now that the flange can be removed, the installer has easy access to the wiring area. This makes the wiring much simpler and faster.

Molded-in strain relief makes the installation faster: The strain relief is built into the wiring box, significantly reducing assembly time.

Specially designed wiring box allows an Extra-Short 90O Elbow to rotate at a full 180O: The wiring box of a traditional valve would only allow elbows to rotate within a limited range, but not to a full 180O. Our newly designed box has a much flatter bottom edge and can accommodate a full 180O rotation of the Extra-Short 90O Elbow.

Built-in tabs on the flange for easy assembly: the tabs on the flange easily locate into the holes on the lower part of the valve, and simply snap on with thumb tabs.

Retro-Fit cover plate included: Simply remove the Retro-Fit cover from the flange and discard the flange. Complete the electrical connections and snap on the cover plate. Slide box assembly through the drywall opening and secure the mounting box to the stud. Complete the assembly of the valve.

Lateral screw holes built in for easy mounting in a Retro-Fit installation: The installer can make use of the screw holes on both sides of the valve body for mounting the assembly to either side of the wall stud, and this makes the Retro-Fit mounting much easier.

All above design features are patent pending.
