Recently moved into a home where the central vac wall plates were discolored and flap was held on with plastic tape. The vac worked ok.

Ordered these Oval door plates to match the style. Easy to install and the added bonus is that the central vac now works great!

Such an easy DIY fix!

Ask a Question

Beam Vacuum Wall Plate?
Question: does this basic inlet for $7 have an electrical connection for the Beam vac system?
CVO's Answer:
We have the correct replacement inlet valve for your Beam. There are two screws on the back of this inlet for low voltage wires, that is all the electrical connections there are. If your inlet has more connections then you need our "electric inlet valves" not these low voltage basic ones.

CVO's Answer:

Hello and thank you for contacting Central Vacuum Online, my name is Ally and I am happy to assist you today. 

Are you wanting to change valves that currently exist in the home or add valves for the first time? These valves are compatible with 99% of central vacuums out there in the market but may not necessarily be a direct replacement for what you have currently. Please call us if you have any questions about compatibility or send a picture of your current valve for us to better answer your question. Thank you.

CVO's Answer:

It depends the Inlet Valve is 3-1/8" x 4-7/8", replaces standard inlets with 1-1/2 inch inlet hole.
