Central Vacuum Sweeps

Central vacuum sweeps provide a fast, easy, and efficient way to clean hard floors without needing to pull out your vacuum hose. Installed directly into the baseboard or cabinet toe-kick, these inlets allow you to sweep everyday messes into the opening, tap it with your foot, and watch the debris disappear. It’s one of the most convenient accessories for central vacuum systems and a favourite among homeowners seeking quicker cleaning solutions.

These sweep inlets are particularly useful in high-traffic areas, such as kitchens, mudrooms, entryways, and bathrooms. Instead of bending down to collect crumbs or dragging out a hose for small debris, you can sweep it to the base of your cabinet and tap the inlet to activate suction. It’s that simple. When you’re done, tap it again to turn it off.

Elmira Vacuum offers a range of sweep inlets compatible with most central vacuum systems. Each unit is designed to work with standard 2-inch central vacuum piping and low-voltage wiring. They are available in several colours and finishes, allowing you to match them to your cabinetry or baseboard. The clean, low-profile design seamlessly blends into any room, adding functional value without drawing attention.

We stock models with both manual and automatic activation. Manual models require a gentle toe tap, while automatic options use motion to open and close the valve as needed. All models are constructed with durable components that withstand daily use, ensuring smooth and reliable operation for years to come. Once installed, they become one of the most frequently used components of your central vacuum system.

Whether you’re planning a new installation or want to add a sweep inlet to an existing system, our team at Elmira Vacuum can help. We’ll show you how they work, explain the installation process, and help you select the best model and finish for your space. You’ll love how much easier daily cleaning becomes with this one simple upgrade.

Some rooms in your home tend to collect messes more quickly than others. Kitchens have crumbs, bathrooms collect hair, and entryways trap dirt and sand. Installing a sweep inlet in these areas makes it easy to maintain cleanliness with just a broom. There’s no need to move furniture, haul out equipment, or connect hoses. Just sweep and tap.

Sweep inlets are especially appreciated in busy family homes where quick cleaning is part of the daily routine. They make it easier to stay ahead of dirt before it spreads to other rooms. Instead of letting debris build up throughout the day, you can clean it on the spot with minimal effort. It’s an efficient way to keep high-use areas tidy without interrupting your schedule.

The low-profile design enables the sweep to be installed in toe kicks beneath kitchen cabinets, vanities, and built-ins. In most cases, the sweep unit is installed during construction or renovation, but retrofitting is also possible with a few adjustments. Our team can walk you through what’s involved and help you determine whether your current layout can support one or more sweep inlets.

All of our sweep models are made from high-quality materials that resist cracking, warping, or sticking. Each unit features a wide intake opening for fast debris collection, and the internal valve is designed for smooth, repeated use. Many customers report that after installing one sweep, they return to add another to a different room.

Adding a sweep inlet is an excellent way to enhance the convenience of your central vacuum system. Once you experience how quickly and easily it handles everyday dirt, it becomes an essential part of your cleaning routine. Elmira Vacuum has everything you need to add this time-saving feature to your home.

Central vacuum sweeps are designed to connect directly into your existing system using standard fittings and low-voltage wiring. If you’re installing one in a new home, it can be planned in conjunction with other inlet valves. If you’re adding it to an existing system, we offer retrofit parts and installation advice to simplify and streamline the process.

These sweep inlets are typically installed at floor level, close to an accessible vacuum pipe and a low-voltage line. They are mounted securely in place and then finished with a trim piece that blends into your wall or cabinet base. Once connected, they become a fully functional part of your central vacuum system.

We stock a range of installation accessories, including elbows, couplers, brackets, and plates to assist with custom installs. Depending on your layout, you may need to run a short section of pipe to reach your main vacuum line. Our staff will help you select the correct fittings and guide you through the installation steps for a smooth and professional process.

You can also purchase sweep kits that include the sweep valve, faceplate, pipe connection, and instructions. These kits are ideal for homeowners doing the work themselves or contractors looking to streamline the job. If you need help during the process, our team is available to answer questions and provide in-store support.
