Hide-A-Hose

Retractable Hose Systems

Simple and Easy With Hide A Hose

Solving the Problem of Storing the Hose

With the Hide-A-Hose patented central vacuum system you will never need to carry or store bulky vacuum hoses. Simply pull out the amount of hose you need from the inlet valve, connect your cleaning wand (with attachment) and begin vacuuming.

When you have finished vacuuming, detach the cleaning wand from the hose, then the suction from the central vacuum power unit effortlessly retracts the hose into the SmartTube™ system hidden behind the wall. With the ability to store up to 50 feet of hose, one wall connection can cover up to 2,300 square feet vacuuming space.

Homeowners also benefit from the cleaner air made possible since central vacuum units are located outside of the living space and do not re-circulate allergens or dust mites. Central vacuums are also are quieter and three to five times more powerful than portable vacuums.

How It Works

Our SmartTube™ system hidden within the walls or crawl spaces, stores the Retractable Hose.

The Hide-A-Hose System can be installed in both new construction and existing homes, including multi-story homes. The retractable hose is stored in the in-wall tubing while not in use, making the system both easy to use and store.

Retractable Hose

Special tubing sweeps allow the Retractable Hose to travel freely within the tubing.

Inlets

Inlets can be installed within any 2′ x 4′ wall cavity. Each inlet can cover up to 2300 sq. ft.

Hose Lengths

Starting from 30′ up to 50′, hose lengths are customized according to the size of the floor.

Tubing

All the tubing is connected to a central power unit usually placed in the garage, basement or equipment room.

Installation

Installation is simpler and easier for new construction or retrofitting an existing home.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Hide-A-Hose Retractable Hose System harnesses the suction from the Power Unit (usually installed in the garage) to retract the hose back into the PVC tubing hidden within the walls, and floor joists, of your home.

As long as there is access to an open basement ceiling or crawl space, the Hide-A-Hose system can be installed in most homes. Please contact us for an analysis of your home to make sure it is suitable for a Hide-A-Hose system.

Sometimes. The Hide-A-Hose retractable hose system stores the hose in the PVC tubing using special sweep 90’s and 45’s. Available open basement ceilings or crawl space can be used to add these pipe runs, which could then be connected to your existing system. Please contact us to evaluate your power unit and tools for use with the Hide-A-Hose system.

With the Hide-A-Hose System, a 30′, 40′, or 50′ hose can be used. The benefit of a longer hose is that the number of inlets needed is reduced. Fewer inlets will save money while making vacuuming more convenient.

We offer two types of hoses. The RapidFlex™ hose was designed for Hide-A-Hose to be used without a cloth cover (hose sock). We also offer a SmartSoc ™ hose that has the hose sock installed. Both hoses have been designed to work specifically with the Hide-A-Hose system. We cannot guarantee the system will work properly with the use of other hose brands.

Hose socks do pick up dirt from floors while vacuuming. However, with a Hide-A-Hose System, the sock actually stays cleaner than a hose sock with a standard central vac system. When the power unit is turned on, the suction in the vacuum tubing removes much of the dust and debris from the sock. A hose stored in a closet does not have this advantage. Also, because there is no wiring in the hose, it is washable: remove the hose (with sock) from the inlet, wash, dry, and retract back into the inlet.

The system can be turned on and off with a low voltage switch at each inlet. Hide-A-Hose also offers the option of a wireless handle. With an RF Ready Grip handle, turn your system on or off with the flip of a switch where you stand.

There are 2 types of power brushes used with Central Vacuum Systems – turbine and electric. Hide-A-Hose offers both: Turbocat and Turbocat Zoom Turbine Powerheads, or the CX1000 Battery Powered Electric Nozzle. The choice is yours.

Customer Testimonial


Before I saw the Hide A Hose system I wasn’t sure I was going to get a central vacuum system for my new house. I was tired of lugging a bulky hose from inlet to inlet, up and down the steps, and especially shoving it in a closet when I was done, but I knew a portable vacuum was even worse. The Hide A Hose system may be the coolest thing in my new home…
