Use with Hide-a-Hose
Hi, does one use a relief valve with a hide-a-hose system? We'll need enough suction for the hose to be sucked back up into the PVC pipes. We will also have a Vac Pan, and I could install the air relief valve under the kitchen cabinets, but don't know if I should.

Answer:
Lucy, a relief valve is always a good idea in case the vacuum is ran sealed. The motors will be protected. But when a Hide-a-Hose is being used it may not be a good idea. The relief valve will open and the hose will not be suctioned in as fast or completely.Therefore you should not use a relief with a Hide-a-Hose. Double check with them though at www.hideahose.biz
