GENERAL INFORMATION
The Vroom Retract Vac®is a retractable hose system designed for
garages to quickly and conveniently clean everyday dry messes. With
its extensive hose reach, the Vroom Retract Vac cleans both inside and
outside the garage. The Vroom Retract Vac is perfect for cleaning vehicles,
workbenches, floors, shelves, ceilings and more.
INSTALLATION
Planning the Installation
The Vroom Retract Vac valve is surface mounted so the hose can either
retract up or down. It is recommended to install the valve near the garage
door so the hose reaches both inside and outside the garage to provide
maximum reach and coverage. Select a location that is both convenient to
access and provides a clear path to connect the PVC tubing to the trunk line
of the vacuum power unit.
The hose is stored inside the tubing, so the tube run will need to be at least
5’ longer than the hose, to allow for possible stretch. It is recommended that
a reducer coupling be installed after the hose storage area ends. Be sure to
only use long radius elbows that are used with retractable hose valves within
the hose storage area, standard central vacuum fittings may be used after
the storage area of the tube run.

New Construction Rough-in
The tubing should be roughed-in so it comes down through the ceiling
directly above the intended valve location. Extend the tubing approximately
6-inches below where the finished garage ceiling will be, do not glue, then
finish the connection when the valve is installed after drywall. The low
voltage wire should be left long enough to finish the valve, approximately
8-feet. The rest of the tubing run from the ceiling to the valve will be surface
mounted when finished.
Retro-fit Installation / New Construction Finish
NOTE: Locate the Vroom Retract Vac valve at approximately the same height
as a light switch if hose retracts up. If the hose retracts down, mount it at
approximately the height of an electrical outlet.
1. Using a level held against top of tube seal, mark the mounting holes for
the valve at desired location.
2. If installing on drywall, sink included self-drilling anchors at marked
locations. Temporarily mount valve using one screw into drywall anchor
or directly into stud to hold during tubing installation.
3. Insert the 6-inch long piece of clear tubing into the top of the valve. The
tubing should be completely inserted 1-1/2-inches into the valve tube
seal. [FIG. 2]
4. Slightly tighten the tube clamp onto the clear tubing. NOTE: The tube
clamp features a reversible nut and bolt which allows the bolt to be
accessed from either side. [FIG. 3]
5. Complete the installation of the hose storage area using long radius
elbows and a tubing cutter. Make sure to deburr the ends of the tubing.
6. Install the recommended reducer coupling at the end of the hose
storage area, prior to the first standard fitting (at least 5-foot longer
than the hose).
7. Remove the screw temporarily holding the valve in place, and gently
rotate the valve to access the low voltage wires and screws. Attach the
wires from the valve to the trunk line wire and secure to the valve using
the ring terminals or strip the end of the wires and use the supplied
wire nuts. [FIG. 4]
8. Rotate the valve back forward facing and permanently mount the valve
to the wall using the two screws provided. Tighten tube clamp to create
vacuum seal.

9. Turn the system on using the on/off switch on the valve and install the
hose by pushing the hose cuff end into the valve until it "clicks" and stops.
Rotate the hose cuff 90-degrees to the left and partially cover the hose
end with hand. The hose will release and begin retracting into the tubing.
10.Once the hose is fully retracted, push the hose handle onto the rubber
ball and the vacuum will automatically turn off and seal the valve.
NOTE: If a shorter hose is needed, the hose must be shortened on the
handle end, not the cuff end. Please refer to "Shortening the Hose"
section on the next page.

SHORTENING THE HOSE
1. Locate the tabs on each side of the handle’s underside. (FIG. 1)
2. Use a screwdriver or fingernail to press tabs in towards the hose to
release and remove the handle. (FIG. 1)
3. Keep the black locking collar on the hose. (FIG. 2)
4. Remove the clear barbed insert by pulling outward and unscrewing
(left-hand thread) or carefully slit hose below insert with razor knife to
remove. (FIG. 2)
5. Shorten the hose as needed.
6. Push the barbed insert into the hose, then slide the locking collar into
place. (FIG. 2)
7. Attach the nozzle by re-engaging the tabs on each side (push
outwards)—you should hear a “click." (FIG. 3)

OPERATION
1. Pull the hose handle out, down and away from the valve.
2. Continue pulling the hose until you feel the end of the hose reach the
valve. You will see the hose nearing the end through the clear tubing
section. You will hear or feel the hose cuff click into its locked position.
(FIG. 1)
3. Turn the system on using the on/off switch on the valve to begin
vacuuming. The system can be used to vacuum dry messes. Optional
attachments may be used on the hose end to meet various cleaning
needs.
Storing the Hose
1. With the vacuum on, unlock the hose end by grabbing the hose
approximately 8-inches from the valve and rotate the hose to the left
until it releases. (FIG. 1)
2. Partially cover the handle end with hand to retract the hose into the
tubing. (FIG. 2)
3. Once fully retracted, push the handle end onto the rubber ball and the
system will automatically turn off. (FIG. 3)
NOTE: If the hose accidentally pulls completely out, refer to step 8 in
Installation.
