Vac-It Panels XSP
Extra-Slim, Small Point Vac-It Panel. Each panel is 7″ x 30″.
Easy as 1, 2, 3... Use to dry all sorts of wet materials, such as hardwoods, headers, and plaster walls.
Simplify the setup process and significantly reduce your labour costs. After extracting excess water, simply tape around the edges, hook up the tubes (or hoses to manifolds), then hoses to the Air In (negative pressure) port of your HP System, and turn the system on. For safer drying use with the INTERCEPTOR HEPA System.
(Taping the edges is the only way to ensure a consistently good seal and minimise the trip hazard).
Important: What the "1 3/8" in the Old Title Meant
This panel has one 3/8 inch extraction point — not a 1 3/8 inch port. Injectidry describes the XSP as 7 × 30 inch ABS plastic with "(1) 3/8 inch extraction point". It connects with the HP system's 3/8 inch tubing, not with 1.25 inch hose.
Where the XSP Fits
The XSP is the narrowest panel in the Vac-It range. Injectidry's online store (Dry Air Injectidry) describes it as more versatile than the U-shaped panel it replaced, and lists these uses:
- Around toilets
- Small pantry spaces
- Around pedestal sinks
- On stair treads
For open floor areas, larger panels cover more ground per connection — see the Vac-It 8-Point Panel (36 × 30 inch), the Vac-It Slim Panel Kit or the Vac-It Variety Pack.
How It Works
Vac-It panels run under negative pressure. The HP system draws air through the panel, which pulls moisture out of the flooring or wall surface beneath it. The seal is everything: any gap at the edge lets the system draw room air instead of drawing through the wet material.
- Extract standing water first.
- Place the panel on the wet area and tape all four edges.
- Run 3/8 inch HP tubing from the panel's port to a manifold, joining lengths with 3/8 inch tubing connectors.
- Connect the hose from the manifold to the Air In (negative) port of the HP system. Cap unused manifold ports with nipple caps.
- Switch on and check each panel is holding down under suction.
- Monitor with a moisture meter and record readings.
If extracted water can reach the HP blower, fit an Injectidry water separator in the line — Injectidry warns that water drawn into the blower is not covered by warranty.
On Category 2 or 3 losses, exhaust from the HP system should be filtered — the original description above recommends Injectidry's Interceptor HEPA system. Follow your scope and the relevant restoration standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work with a Direct-It kit?
No. Vac-It panels need the negative pressure of an HP system. Direct-It moves large volumes of air at low pressure through 1.25 inch hose.
What tape should I use?
Injectidry does not specify a tape. Use one that holds on the floor finish without lifting it — test on a hidden area on finished hardwood.
How many panels can one HP system run?
Injectidry does not publish a panel count for the XSP. It depends on the blower, the length of hose and tubing, and the other lines on the system. Ask us with your system model.
Can it be used on walls?
CCW's description lists headers and plaster walls. Seal all four edges with tape, as on a floor.
