The Dirt Devil 5586-W is a replacement utility wall valve designed for HP Products central vacuum systems. When you plug in the vacuum hose, two internal pin jacks complete the low-voltage circuit and power the unit on automatically -- no separate switch needed. A spring-loaded door keeps the inlet sealed when not in use, and a 1/8-inch foam pad on the door interior protects the valve seat from impact and wear over time.
This valve eliminates the extra step of manually switching your central vacuum on and off. The moment the hose coupler seats into the 5586-W, its two push-pin jacks make contact and signal the power unit to start. Disconnect the hose and the system shuts off. It is a simple, reliable design that makes everyday vacuuming faster in any home, cabin, or RV installation where a Dirt Devil CV1500 or CV950 power unit is installed.
The valve body is constructed from durable PVC, making it resistant to impact and household chemicals. Quick-adjust power connectors are recessed just inside the valve opening for easy field wiring during installation.
Two push pins inside the valve make contact on hose insertion, automatically powering the CV1500 or CV950 unit on without a separate wall switch.
Valve door closes automatically when the hose is removed, keeping dust, debris, and pests out of the inlet during non-use.
Durable PVC valve body resists cracking and household chemicals, providing long-term reliability at the wall inlet point.
A 1/8-inch foam pad on the underside of the valve door cushions closure impact and protects the door from wear and cosmetic damage.
The 5586-W is designed to work specifically with HP Products Dirt Devil central vacuum power units that use a pin-jack low-voltage activation circuit. Confirmed compatible models include:
If your power unit uses a different activation method (such as a pneumatic switch or a simple air-path suction trigger with no low-voltage wiring), this valve is not the correct replacement. Check your existing wall valve for the two small metal contact pins before ordering.
The 5586-W mounts into a standard central vacuum inlet cutout in the wall. The spring-loaded door swings inward when the hose is inserted and returns to the closed position automatically upon removal. Low-voltage wires from the power unit connect to the adjustable connectors inside the valve to enable the auto-start function.
