This is a new one for me - I’ve never seen a man brag about a short hose much less do a video about it. 😂 Well done. And thanks for your honesty and self-confidence. Your shirt says it all!
Excellent info. I’ve been checking around looking for ways to adapt to my ridged vacuum easily. You answered my question. Btw if you have a hitachi/metabo 10” miter saw, a steel 2 1/4” x 2 1/2” adapter from an auto parts store fits perfectly on the saw and the large ridged hose.
Thank you very much. I have made fittings, hose couplings and such with a heat gun, a home made wooden plug I turned to the correct size and PVC pipe/fittings. While this works, I believe what you showed will save some time.
I didn’t know they made the full size hose in so many lengths. This has got my mind going. I’m a renovation/finish carpenter so I’m always setting up in different places and scenarios, my first thought was to put together a small kit of all the pvc pieces and one long length of hose, I bet by the end of the year I’ll have quite the set up of purpose, pre fabbed hose pieces. Love the humor and editing style. Thanks for putting this together.
4:49 That fitting is designed for Ridgid old style discontinued vacuums. The other fittings do not attach to the actual vacuum, but that red-clip fitting does. Then you can use regular hoses from there. I never realised you can convert it into a coupling like that, so I've always tossed them out. Now I need to hunt through my spare parts to see if I have one sitting around still!
Your video probably saved me 50$ I already had all the required components, but lacked the knowledge of how to put it together. I Liked and Subscribed. Good job ! !😎
I'm using this method for a different project. I've got a cordless shopvac and I want a short hose so I don't have to wrap to store (just place ext on side). This method is perfect - excellent idea - great video - I'm off to spend more $ at Home Depot - THANKS!
So it's kinda hard not to notice all the vacs suspended from the ceiling!? If you did a video on this unusual dust collection system I can't find it. Would love some detail on how it works for you, any tips to duplicate in my own shop, etc. I just found you on TH-cam but your in my subscribe list now. Thanx.
Love your content. I’m modifying my older Rigid to have a body-sited intake like the newer ones, so I can use a bag inside. When I learned that they make a 20-foot hose I had to get one. Thanks!
First I’d like to say thank you for your video. You the "Shop Vac King" man❗️ I had to subscribe because you have so many different interesting ideas on here about what you can do with the shop vac. I can’t wait to check out your other videos. Have a great day man.
Another way to connect hoses to those cyclonic separator is to just use a heat gun on a section of PVC pipe and force fit it over the port. That way it adapts to female PVC fittings to easily connect to all of those short hoses.
Which model / size Rigid vac are you running , I saw several behind you in the video, I like that idea if bought at the right price, less hoses and fittings
Really great info. Want to set dust collection up for myself. I see you have many vacs in your shop. I'm assuming you discovered you needed several smaller systems rather than one large one with pipes all over the place? THanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Very helpful for us newbies.
Hi. I really need your help I want to by a Ridgid shop vac. I need to suck RATS from home walls!!! What model and HP do you recommend and what hose diameters and length is the best to maximize the suction power? Pls is very important! Thank you for your time.
Any of the more powerful models are good. I believe Home Depot had a 5hp 16 gallon for only $60 for black Friday that you may still be able to get. Some of the more expensive models aren't as noisy they have sound reduction SNR. A larger diameter hose would be better and a 12 foot length may suit your needs.
Really appreciate this information. You've eliminated a lot of head scratching, and wasted time for me. The links to the 13' and 20' Rigid hoses go to Workshop brand hoses. Are they the same? (they appear to be the same hoses)
Maybe. I've never used ABS. The PVC I use is foam core so it machines nicely. If you can cut it with a miter saw without any issues I'd say it would probably work fine. It seems like ABS could be more brittle and have more melty properties with the blade but then again it could be fine.
Would you supply a way to reach out to you privately, so that I may suggest an easy and low cost Ridgid Shop Vac 2" hose shop vac system Ridged to PVC Pressure-DWV Schedule 40 adapter concept to possibly show / construct / review on your channel?
I've gotten a lot of comments on the idea that I could have spent less on a central dust collection set up but that's from folks who assume they know how much I have in my system, but the idea that a shop vacuum is as useless as a trophy, well, that's just silly.
I thought I was confused by hoses, couplings and all things dust-collection. Having watched this video I am even more confused. The whole coupling section was rushed, Ridgid-centric (without acknowledging this) and now I know that we're all confused.

It’s a shame I can only like this video once, this was super useful and to the point, thank you!
Nice!
You do your own stunts! Love the quality of this video. Exactly what I needed to shorten my hose!
Perfect!
Excellent video and process. Bless you. I have a small shop and i am trying to keep it simple. Thank you so much.

Perfect!
Your content is excellent. You voice over or on screen is excellent. Beard has more grey😊. Happy you are back
Thank you! Glad to be back! :)
Hey, thanks for making this series. I used your methods to make up some short hoses as well as some vac to PVC adapters. Thanks again!
Awesome! I'm glad to have helped. There will be more to come :)

Great video, great tips and the most entertaining TH-cam video I've seen in a long while. Love your sense of humor.
Thank you!
I really like the Rigid vacs and have several. Thanks for your videos showing the adapters!

Thank you! Your video made my week!!! 🙏🏻
@nibblit perfect!
The coupling was too big for my hose , but a 2" to 1.5" adapter worked for me.
I like your humor 😂, good video tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you!
*Genius* ...
Thanks for saving me sometime
Very good info and well presented. Thanks
Thank you!

That reducer fitting that fit inside your 2" coupling, what kind of fitting was that exactly?
th-cam.com/video/lXUxI69Ydp4/w-d-xo.html
My problem is my Rigid shop vac is so old the intake is on the top, and there are no bags that fit.
Thanks for this vid man - useful!
Need an update for the Adapter, the link is no good anymore, did for a general search with no luck.
I've updated the link for the adapters in the video description. Thank you!
What are those “adapters” you out into the coupling?

Ok, my curiosity can be contained no longer; what's the deal with all the wet/dry vacuums dangling from the ceiling?
Dust collection/saving floor space
@@SlowandExpensive
But why so many? Are you trying to sort your dusts or something?
Hi.
I really need your help
I want to by a Ridgid shop vac.
I need to suck RATS from home walls!!!
What model and HP do you recommend and what hose diameters and length is the best to maximize the suction power?
Pls is very important! Thank you for your time.

@ thank very much for your time and advice🙏👍🏼
Really appreciate this information. You've eliminated a lot of head scratching, and wasted time for me. The links to the 13' and 20' Rigid hoses go to Workshop brand hoses. Are they the same? (they appear to be the same hoses)
I'm not 100% because I've never used the brand but they look identical.
Does the same process work with ABS as well as PVC?
Maybe. I've never used ABS. The PVC I use is foam core so it machines nicely. If you can cut it with a miter saw without any issues I'd say it would probably work fine. It seems like ABS could be more brittle and have more melty properties with the blade but then again it could be fine.
What happened with your t-shirt when you felt diwn? 😁
Very helpful. Thanks.
do you have any plans for the manifold?
I don't have any plans. My planer is an older delta model, so I don't know that they would be much use.
First link took me to a Watch on amazon.
Thanks, some links are short lived

@@SlowandExpensive thank you.
@@SlowandExpensive Hi, I opened the "About" tab when visiting your TH-cam channel page. No Email address was seen there. Sorry.
My concern is that you have a large collection of vacs displayed on your wall as trophy heads....
I've gotten a lot of comments on the idea that I could have spent less on a central dust collection set up but that's from folks who assume they know how much I have in my system, but the idea that a shop vacuum is as useless as a trophy, well, that's just silly.
great ideas!!!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Where do the adapters come from?
th-cam.com/video/lXUxI69Ydp4/w-d-xo.html
Couldn't you just turn vacuum 90 degrees?
@rooster1999 these vacuums don't have any suction when they are sideways
I thought I was confused by hoses, couplings and all things dust-collection. Having watched this video I am even more confused. The whole coupling section was rushed, Ridgid-centric (without acknowledging this) and now I know that we're all confused.
I don't think everyone is so confused. Make short hoses if you need them.
LOL! Smoke a joint, and listen again😂
Sabotage 😄
😂😂😂
It seems to me you have what is called the VACCUM DUST COLLECTOR IMMOBLIZATION DUST INFESTATION SYNDROME! more commonly known as (VDCIDIS)
Interesting.
