Installation Process

Installing a Laundry Jet system in your Long Island home is a transformative way to manage laundry, offering convenience and efficiency. Here's an overview of the installation process and what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

The installation begins with a thorough assessment of your home's layout to determine optimal port locations and the most efficient routing for the PVC piping system. This planning phase ensures that the system integrates seamlessly into your home's design.

2. Key Components of the Laundry Jet System

The system comprises three primary elements:

• Laundry Jet Ports: Installed in areas like bedrooms, bathrooms, or dressing rooms, these ports serve as entry points for your laundry.

• Vacuum Unit: Typically wall-mounted or cabinet-mounted in the laundry room, this unit powers the system, creating the suction needed to transport laundry.

• PVC Piping: Connects the ports to the vacuum unit, facilitating the movement of laundry through the system.

3. Installation Steps

• Port Installation: Openings are created in designated walls to install the ports. Each port is connected to a Port 90 assembly, ensuring a smooth transition for laundry items into the piping system. Proper alignment and securing of the Port 90 are crucial for optimal performance.

• Piping Installation: The system uses 6-inch SDR35 white solvent weld PVC pipes, chosen for their lightweight and smooth interior surfaces, which facilitate the unobstructed flow of laundry. Pipes are cut to fit the planned layout, ensuring straight cuts and de-burred edges for seamless connections. All joints are glued around 360 degrees to maintain system integrity, and the piping is secured with plumber's tape every six feet. Cleanout ports are installed approximately every 50 feet on angled runs to allow for maintenance access.

• Vacuum Unit Installation: The vacuum unit is installed in the laundry room, either wall-mounted or integrated into cabinetry. The unit is connected to the piping system, and all electrical components are set up. The system is then tested to ensure proper functionality.

4. Post-Installation

After installation, the system undergoes a series of tests to confirm that all components are functioning correctly. The installation team will provide a demonstration of the system's operation and offer guidance on maintenance practices to keep your Laundry Jet running smoothly.

5. Maintenance and Warranty

The Laundry Jet system is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks and occasional cleaning of the ports and piping are recommended to prevent blockages and ensure optimal performance. Laundry Jet offers a limited lifetime warranty on the plastic body of the units, with specific warranty periods for other components, providing peace of mind for your investment.

By choosing Long Island Laundry Jet, you're investing in a modern solution that simplifies your laundry routine, making it more efficient and less labor-intensive.
