As the subject states, I'm re-doing a friends basement and need to
relocate a central vac unit. It was connected to an outlet shared with
the gas dryer. *Are there any code requirements that require these
central vac units need to be on their own circuit? I could not find
any ratings on the unit to determine what the current draw is.

What does the nameplate say? It should have the FLA listed. Then
multiply that by 125% and that is your ampacity.
The owners manual should have the required circuit in the installation
instructions,

This is an old unit, can't find anything as far as FLA.

* What make and model? and how old?- Hide quoted text -

Filtex VSI Power cleaning system, similiar to this one. It does have a
5-15 plug on it.http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...eaning+system&...

still better to instal a 12 gauge wire, just in case someone decides
to upgrade in the future.

IMHO its better to go all 20 amp breakers with 12 gauge wire it costs
more but is more flexible in the future. Its like upgrading to a 200
amp main, when 100 will do......- Hide quoted text -

I am installing 12 guage, but my question is does it need to be an
outlet dedicated just for the vacuum?
