I built a new house nearly a year ago but didn't move in until recently. The Nutone central vacum system doesn't have much suction. I've tried different things but am afraid there is a break or breaks in the system. My question is how can breaks or joints that come a part in the suction system be located so I will know where to cut into the wall

I would go to the auto parts store and get one of those carburetor suction things, tells you how much it is sucking, so you can synchronize the carbs. Then go to the vacuum line the farthest from the garage and see what it says, then move back towards the garage and see if there is a drastic change some where. I know those pipes used in the vacuum system are brittle and a drywall screw could shatter it. Also, most of the lines are dropped into the wall through the attic space, not run in the wall at all, go up there and peek around. You might have one come unglued. The other thing to do would be get the old stethoscope out and listen to the wall just above the receptacle, you might be able to hear the air moving where it is not supposed to be. Check it out.
