RETRACTABLE HOSE SYSTEMS
The Hose Disappears. The Convenience Stays.
Imagine pulling the hose from the wall inlet, cleaning, then allowing it to retract into specially designed central vacuum piping. That is the appeal of a properly planned Hide-A-Hose system.

RETRACTABLE BY DESIGN
A hose that disappears when you're done.
This isn't a standard vacuum inlet with a different cover. A properly designed Hide-A-Hose system stores its hose inside the dedicated tubing, ready for the next cleanup.

Pull
Pull out the length of hose you need from the retractable inlet.

Clean
Attach the appropriate tool and clean the room as normal.
03
Retract
Release the lock and guide the hose back into its specially designed piping using vacuum suction.
A different system—not just a different inlet.
Hide-A-Hose uses specially designed valves and tubing layouts that store the hose inside the vacuum pipe network. This is different from the traditional central vacuum connection where the hose is carried and stored separately.
Installation quality matters. Correct fittings, sweeping bends, route length, accessible locations and the intended hose system should be selected together. We evaluate each home before recommending a configuration.
Where retractable hoses make sense
- New homes planned for the system from the beginning
- Remodels where piping routes can be accessed
- Selected retrofits where existing access and layout support the system
- High-use spaces where quick cleanup is especially convenient
- Homes seeking fewer loose hoses and dedicated hose-storage needs
Retrofitting an existing central vacuum
Some homes with a traditional central vacuum can be upgraded to a retractable hose system, but it is not simply a matter of replacing an ordinary wall inlet. The piping route and geometry must support proper hose storage and retraction.
We can help determine whether a retrofit is feasible and what would need to be changed.
GOOD QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hide-A-Hose the same as a regular wall inlet?
No. The hose retracts into a specially planned tubing run; an ordinary inlet does not store the hose.
Can it be installed in an existing home?
Sometimes. We need to assess access, routing and the required retractable-hose piping.
Can I connect it to my current power unit?
Compatibility depends on the power unit and the specific proposed configuration.
How does a Hide-A-Hose retractable system work?
You pull out the hose for cleaning and allow system suction to draw it back into a specially designed tubing run when finished. The exact operating steps depend on the installed system.
Does Hide-A-Hose require special plumbing behind the wall?
Yes. Retractable-hose systems require appropriately designed vacuum tubing and bends for hose storage and retrieval, not simply an ordinary central vacuum inlet.
Can Hide-A-Hose be added to an older central vacuum system?
Sometimes. A retrofit requires evaluating available routing space, tubing design, power-unit suitability and the desired hose locations.
Where are retractable hose inlets most useful?
Common locations include kitchens, main living areas and other frequently cleaned spaces where storing and carrying a separate hose is inconvenient.
What happens if a hose does not retract fully?
The cause may involve hose handling, an obstruction, the designed tubing path or available suction. Follow the manufacturer instructions and request service if the problem persists.
