An inlet and switching apparatus for a central vacuum system includes a base body section with a back wall having an inlet aperture formed therein adapted for connection to a central vacuum source. A cover section is mounted on the base body section and extends over a forward side thereof. The cover section includes a front wall spaced from and opposite the back wall. The two sections together form an inlet housing defining a vacuum inlet chamber and this housing has a lower portion forming a dirt receiving opening that permits dirt to enter the chamber under a vacuum influence. A closure member is pivotably mounted on the body section and there is a mechanism for moving the closure member to open or close the inlet aperture. In a preferred embodiment, rails on the cover section engage two nubs on the closure member whereby sliding movement of the cover section causes the closure member to either close or open the aperture. There is an electrical switch mechanism responsive to the sliding movement of the cover section for actuating the central vacuum source. Preferably, the cover section can be swung upwardly to a position exposing the outlet aperture so that the end of a vacuum hose can be inserted therein.
