In respect to this, how long of a hose can you use on a shop vac?If you inlet measures roughly, 2.5″ in diameter you can use 1.25″, 1.5″ or 2.5″ hoses with standard hose ends.Secondly, does length of vacuum hose matter? Length does not matter only any of the lines. Actually the shorter the lines the better since there is less hose to keep under vacuum. Just make sure it is not to short that it gets in the way or causes problems with other stuff. In this manner, how do you shorten a shop vac hose? On many shop vac type hoses, the “ends” are plastic cuffs that push into the ribbed hose and stay put by virtue of a corresponding rib on the cuff. You can pull the cuffs right out of the hose, cut the hose shorter, and then push the cuff back in.Does hose diameter affect vacuum?Smaller diameter vacuum hoses are often more maneuverable and flexible, not to mention lighter, and for certain applications there are performance benefits. Larger diameter hoses can pick up bigger debris, and with less likelihood of clogging. The diameter is doubled, and so the cross sectional area is quadrupled.
