A lightweight hose is stored in the piping behind each inlet. Simply pull out the hose and engage the lock, attach the cleaning tool of your choice, and begin cleaning.
When you’re finished, disengage the lock, and watch the suction from the vacuum power unit retract the hose back into the wall.
No more carrying a hose from inlet to inlet. With our patented locking system, you will always have the perfect length of hose. You don’t have to pull out 50″ of hose to clean up a mess just 10′ away.

Why Hide-A-Hose?
Hide-A-Hose combines the powerful performance and health benefits of a central vacuum system with the ease and convenience that surpasses portable vacuums.
Saves Space,
Saves Time
By eliminating the need to store hoses in closets, Hide-A-Hose allows for longer and lighter hoses. This innovation reduces the number of inlets by about 50%, meaning you spend less time connecting and disconnecting from vacuum ports.
With Hide-A-Hose, the hose retracts into the wall in seconds, saving you the time and effort of winding up the hose and storing it in a closet.
Convenience
Our hoses can be up to 60 ft long, and with our patented locking system, you will always have the perfect length of hose! You don’t have to pull the hose all the way out to clean up a mess just 10’ away. Simply pull, lock, vacuum, and retract. Hide-A-Hose is perfect for both whole house cleaning and quick messes.
Healthier Indoor Air
Despite their filtration systems, most portable vacuums exhaust dust and allergens back into your living space. Even if you can’t see it, most of us recognize that distinct post cleaning smell left by a portable vacuum.
Central Vacuum systems create a much healthier indoor environment since all the dust and allergens are pulled out of the living space and stored in the canister of the power unit which only needs to be emptied out a few times a year.
Versatile
Unlike Portable or Robot vacuums, Hide-A-Hose systems are versatile. Pick an attachment to vacuum whatever surface you need, including carpet, tile, hardwood, stairs, windowsills, baseboards, upholstery, furniture, shades, cars and more.
Value
With a life expectancy of 20+ years, Hide-A-Hose enhances your home’s value and helps ensures its care over the long run.
Quiet
Central Vacuum Power Units are typically installed in your garage or mechanical room to keep the noise away from your living space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Hide-A-Hose system be installed in an existing home?
The Hide-A-Hose system can be installed in most homes when there is access to an attic or crawl space. Your local authorized dealer can visit your home to review installation options.
Can you retrofit an existing central vacuum 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 attic or crawl space can be used to add these pipe runs, which could then be connected to your existing system. Your local authorized dealer would also evaluate your power unit and tools for use with the Hide-A-Hose system.
How noisy is a central vacuum system?
Central vacuum systems are quieter than their portable counterparts. The motor is located in a remote area, like a garage or utility room, reducing noise within the living space. The Hide-A-Hose system takes this a step further with its innovative design that enhances noise reduction.
Are central vacuums easy to use?
Central vacuum systems are designed for convenience; however, the Hide-A-Hose Central Vacuum Retractable Hose System takes convenience to the next level. Instead of lugging around a hose, the retractable feature makes cleaning effortless. Connect, clean, and watch it disappear when you’re done.
How does a central vacuum compare to a portable vacuum?
Hide-A-Hose differs from traditional vacuum cleaners in several significant ways. Firstly, it operates as part of a centralized vacuum system, with a powerful unit typically installed in a garage or utility room. Secondly, Hide-A-Hose features a retractable hose system, allowing users to pull out the desired length of hose from wall-mounted inlets and retract it back into the wall when finished, eliminating the need to maneuver a bulky unit. Thirdly, Hide-A-Hose enhances convenience and mobility during cleaning by eliminating the need to carry or drag a heavy vacuum cleaner from room to room. Lastly, central vacuum systems like Hide-A-Hose provide extensive coverage throughout the home with strategically placed wall inlets, offering greater reach and accessibility during cleaning sessions.
How many inlets should I install based on square footage?
Each inlet contains a hose that can cover between 900 - 2,300 square feet, depending on the length. Hose lengths come in 30, 40, 50, and 60 ft.
How long does installation take?
Once you purchase a Hide-A-Hose the timeline for installation depends on whether you are placing it into a pre-existing home or a new construction home. When installing a retrofitted hose installation only takes one day. However, with new construction homes the installation time frame will vary depending on the construction progress.
How does Hide-A-Hose compare to Chameleon?
The biggest difference between Hide-A-Hose and Chameleon is the way you lock and seal the hose. With our patented locking mechanism you can lock and seal the hose at any length, which allows you to vacuum with full suction without pulling the hose all the way out. In order to lock and seal the Chameleon, you must pull the hose all the way out. A plastic clip can be used to keep the Chameleon hose from retracting, but there is still limited suction.
What is the warranty?
Hide-A-Hose offers an exclusive industry leading warranty for customers to get the most out of their new central vacuum systems.
