What is the inspector required to inspect in a central vacuum system?

In a central vacuum system, the inspector's role includes examining all outlets to ensure they are fully functional. This is crucial because outlets are integral to the overall operation of the central vacuum system; they need to be tested for suction and functionality in various locations where they are installed. Proper functioning of each outlet is essential for efficient vacuuming throughout the home.

While inspecting the main unit, hoses, and filters is important, those components serve specific roles within the system that do not encompass the entire function of the central vacuum as experienced by the user. Therefore, the outlets directly reflect the system's performance during operation. This comprehensive approach helps identify any potential issues with the central vacuum system that may affect its effectiveness in the home.
