A direct replacement inlet valve for Dirt Devil central vacuum systems. The fully-automatic design opens when the hose is inserted and closes when it is removed -- no manual door to flip or latch. Built from durable brown PVC and sized to work with most standard Dirt Devil central vacuum hoses.
A worn or cracked inlet valve leaks suction and reduces cleaning performance throughout your entire central vacuum system. The Dirt Devil 4941 is an exact-match replacement that restores the airtight seal your system needs. The automatic door mechanism engages the moment you press the hose cuff into the port -- no fumbling with covers, and no air bypass when the port is not in use.
The valve is constructed of rigid PVC for long service life and matches the brown trim color found in many Dirt Devil whole-home vacuum installations. At approximately 1 lb, it is easy to handle during a wall-mount swap-out.
Spring-loaded mechanism opens on hose insertion and seals automatically when the hose is removed -- no manual latching required.
The 1-1/2" diameter port accepts most standard Dirt Devil central vacuum hose cuffs for a snug, airtight connection.
Rigid PVC body resists cracking and impact. Holds its shape in wall cavities and does not warp over years of normal use.
Brown color coordinates with existing Dirt Devil inlet valve covers and wall plates for a consistent, finished look throughout the home or RV.
The 4941 is designed to accommodate most Dirt Devil central vacuum hoses that use a standard 1-1/2" cuff diameter. If you are replacing an existing Dirt Devil automatic inlet valve, this unit should drop into the same rough-in opening and connect to the same low-voltage signal wire that triggers the central vacuum motor.
Replacement is typically straightforward. The existing valve unscrews or unclips from the wall plate, the low-voltage wires detach from the terminals, and the new valve connects in reverse order. No special tools are required for most installations.
