How to make short hose for shop vac dust collection systems

Your content is excellent. You voice over or on screen is excellent. Beard has more grey😊. Happy you are back

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.

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.

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.

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)

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!

I really like the Rigid vacs and have several. Thanks for your videos showing the adapters!

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?

Very helpful. Thanks.

Excellent video tutorial ,thanks a lot .

Where do the adapters come from?

Excellent video and process. Bless you. I have a small shop and i am trying to keep it simple. Thank you so much.

That reducer fitting that fit inside your 2" coupling, what kind of fitting was that exactly?

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.

Great video and tip - best I have seen in a long time.

WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?! 😂
Love the humor and beard 😊

First link took me to a Watch on amazon.

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

Awesome tips. Thanks!

great ideas!!!

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.

I like your humor 😂, good video tutorial. Thanks!

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 ! !😎

Your videos rule! Entertaining and fun

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.

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!

The coupling was too big for my hose , but a 2" to 1.5" adapter worked for me.

Ok, my curiosity can be contained no longer; what's the deal with all the wet/dry vacuums dangling from the ceiling?

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!

It’s a shame I can only like this video once, this was super useful and to the point, thank you!

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!

What are those “adapters” you out into the coupling?

Sabotage 😄

My concern is that you have a large collection of vacs displayed on your wall as trophy heads....

Thanks for this vid man - useful!

do you have any plans for the manifold?

It seems to me you have what is called the VACCUM DUST COLLECTOR IMMOBLIZATION DUST INFESTATION SYNDROME! more commonly known as (VDCIDIS)

This was SO helpful. Lots of helpful suggestions. Thank you.

Very good info and well presented. Thanks
