You pull out only as much hose as you need and lock it at that length. When you're done, the central vacuum's suction pulls the hose back into the pipe in the wall. It suits new construction and retrofits, and connects to an existing or new central vacuum power unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose stores in the wall\u003c\/strong\u003e: no hose to carry, coil or keep in a closet.

Only Hide-A-Hose sweep 90°, 45° and 22.5° fittings may be used in the section that stores the hose. Hide-A-Hose recommends no more than four 90° bends per valve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger hoses reduce airflow, so Hide-A-Hose recommends a larger power unit for longer hose runs.
