Prolux PLCCV12K Central Vacuum Power Unit - 130 CFM, Sealed HEPA, 25 Yr

Prolux PLCCV12K: a HEPA-filtered power unit for an existing inlet run

When a central vacuum stops pulling, the pipework in the walls is almost always fine and only the canister in the garage has failed. This is the power unit for that job. It mounts on the supplied bracket, connects to standard inlet piping, and brings the existing system back with more airflow and better filtration than the unit it replaces.

Prolux PLCCV12K motor, filtration and construction

On a central vacuum the exhaust is outside the living space, which is precisely why the filtration specification is worth reading.

• Amtek 2-stage bypass motor at 130 CFM - airflow that survives the pressure drop of a long pipe run to a distant inlet
• Micron and HEPA filtration - fine dust and allergens are held in the canister rather than being pushed back through the system
• Steel body - built for a garage or utility room, where a plastic housing eventually gives up
• Standard inlet compatibility - drops onto existing US central vacuum piping, so no walls are opened
• Wall-mount bracket included - a straightforward swap for a failed unit rather than a re-install
• 25 year warranty - matched to the working life of the pipe run it serves

Prolux PLCCV12K applications and environments

The clearest fit is replacement work: houses built with central vacuum piping whose original power unit has finally stopped, and properties changing hands where an inspection flagged the system. Builders also specify it on new multi-storey homes, where a fixed plant beats carrying a canister up and down stairs. Small offices, salons, dental practices and guest houses with existing inlet piping are the same job at a slightly larger scale. Households with dust or allergy concerns are the strongest case, since the motor and exhaust sit away from occupied rooms. It weighs 30 lb boxed. This is the power unit alone; specify the complete system if a hose and power nozzle are also needed.
