Installing the OG Vacuum Solution with Hide-A-Hose
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2023
- This is the third install example we've done now on the upcoming OG Vacuum solution. This is my personal favorite way to install as it looks super custom and when possible, I think this is the cleanest and quietest setup for the Vacuum. The goal here is to show you how versatile this vacuum can be. These will be available on the OG Store soon!

Stay tuned for more crazy!
I always enjoy episodes where Mike installs stuff. Inspiring! Mike should start his own channel and show people what he does at his own house.
As an experienced central vac installer you want to put that stop about 5ft after where the hose sits and the reason is that hose can expand over time as it gets used so now down the road you risk that hose not being able to retract all the way and you'd have to put in a 40ft hose instead of 50. Also for the unit I personally would have run a separator before the unit on ground level that way you don't have to go up to the attic to change the bag.
So are you saying at the 55th feet mark or 45th feet mark
Hey Mike, Nice work as always I think the hide a hose is definitely the way to go provided you have Space to install it. I won’t comment on the screens I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it.
I actually have this hide a hose system on the inside of my house. It's SO nice to not have to drag the hose around the house and wrap it up when you're done. We clean more often because it's so easy to pull out the length of hose you need, vacuum, and then suck it all back into the wall. Much better than the system I grew up using. I didn't think to put it in the garage so we use a normal long hose out there.
Can’t wait to buy one of these for my garage. Been waiting for the vacuum to come out since the first time you introduced it to us Matt!
This gonna be a great watch 🎉
You guys should look into some form of seperator for this type of install. An example is the "dust deputy bagger". would keep the canister clean, give more volume, and allow for easy removal of everything you have vaccumed up. Love the vids as always! I can't wait to install this into my garage!
Mike install episodes are top notch! Keep them coming.
This is pretty cool. I like how someone mentioned a separator. I guess the hidden part outweighs the inconvenience of emptying the canister or is at least a tradeoff.
I have motorized attic stairs. I probably will only need to change the bag once a year.
@@ObsessedGarage yeah, I suppose I meant for the rest of us without fancy stairs.
Sweet setup! Soon you'll want one for inside the house too ;)
At this rate, I am waiting for Matt to sell me a kettle and microwave oven.
😅
A lot of work to hide a hose.
Now we know where Matt stores his window screens, LOL.
Lol I was like damn it's not perfect organized 😂
Haha facts.. that’s not OG like!
Any issues with running the vacuum in the attic during hot summer months when it’s 2.5 million degrees in the attic?
I’m surprised you guys aren’t using the Chameleon version. Seems nicer to me
my wife wants you to focus R&D on an OG spec Hide-A-Hose concealed CPAP solution 🤣
Mike's a "G"!!!!
When the hose is pulled all the way out, is the vac sucking through 100ft of pipe/hose? Not sure if I’m getting it 💯. If it is how much suction loss is there vs just sucking 50ft max? Thanks. Looks awesome
I don't think there is much loss in doing so. Central vacs are designed to pressurize the distance.
I've heard the big problem with these Hide-A-Hose is that the hose stores inside the dirty vacuum pipe and gets the jacket of the hose dirty. Has anything been done to address that?
Hmmm... Not sure. I think it could easier be wiped down periodically.
Great video, tons of useful info. What is that brand of Attic stairs that you have in your garage
We have a video on it here, it is made by eLair Enterprises:

This is sick
I just ordered one of these. Nice setup. Is there a maximum or minimum distance you all recommend between the stop and the vacuum itself? Meaning how much PVC would you put between stop and vacuum? Certain amount too much?
You need a minimum of 50' of pipe to house the house. I think we are good up to 200'.
@@ObsessedGarage
Understood. But I’m asking about the distance between the stop point and vacuum itself. Does that matter ?
The hose does stretch a bit under suction. I would do a minimum of 3' between end of the hose and the stop collar.
Can't the hose just be cut to length?
Was thinking the same thing.. I don’t want that big Daytona 500 loop in my attic.. lol
You could make it shorter if you don't need 50'
Where does the dirt go? Do you need to get in the attic to empty it?
The canister/motor is in the attic. It's a bagged system. You'd need to replace the bag once a year or so.
Is the minimum hose length 50 ft? Can you run a shorter hose? I don’t like the big ole loop in the attic.. I also like the reel look lol.
You sure could.
Says in store soon. What actual parts are in the kit? Is it just that small piece that goes into the wall? Then you get PVC and hook it all up to your vac? Or does it also come with special PVC?
Hide-a-Hose is the manufacturer. They make the in wall cover piece and the hose. The PVC is a thinwalled version made specifically for central vac.
@@ObsessedGarage great thanks. Did some DD and I really wish you could install it such that the hose is accessible both sides of the wall. So I could use it living room or garage. Maybe the OG spec version can have a custom face plate for that.
Can this system be added to an existing central vacuum system?
Yes, it can
Is there some sort of a seal on the end of the hose?
There is. It is a rounding plastic ring that seals the hose in the pipe.
Is this normal PVC piping or do you recommend one of these gel coated interior ones?
This is specific PVC made for central vac systems.
The hide a hose is the only way to go. I do wonder what kinda suction it has.
It has a lot of suction
I have the MD Flo-Master hooked up to mine for 5,000 sq. ft hose and it's more powerful than my Dyson or Miele.
