The Model AVP12000 Platinum Series Disposable Bag Central Vacuum System is a disposable bag central vacuum power unit. The AVP12000 is modular in design with nested components that reduct shipping costs. The AVP12000 has 570 peak air watt capacity and can be installed in homes up to 12,000 square feet. For installation flexibility, both the intake and exhaust ports can be connected from the left or right side. A front-mounted utility port allows easy connection of a hose directly to the power unit for local cleaning. The vacuum's control panel has a power switch, four-color bag debris level display, two-color service indicator, and a service reset button. The power unit's permanent fabric filter provides filtration down to .1 micron diameter. The slide-gate collar dust bag mounts inside the debris bucket on the bottom of the power unit and holds up to 5.2 gallons of dust and dirt. Two-easy-to-access swing-down latches secure the debris bucket and are used to access the dust bag. When its time for bag replacement, the slide-gate collar on the bag closes to keep the dust and dirt sealed inside. A foam-filled muffler is included for installation in the exhaust system piping. The muffler substantially reduces operating noise. Routing the vacuum's exhaust through piping to outside the residence assures all remaining dust vents outside of the building.
