Easy to Use
Quick extension, simple attachment
The Vacuum Holster™ offers simple and easy operation for service technicians. The exhaust hose is flexible and easy to maneuver, and provides excellent coverage. It’s simple to attach the tailpipe adapter to any vehicle, and its rubber boot and attachment device will not scratch vehicles. Whether in a fixed-mounted configuration or used in conjunction with the Apex Rail, the Vacuum Holster uses the suction of the exhaust fan to assist in retracting the exhaust hose into the Hose Holster.
A closed damper utilizes the negative pressure that restricts airflow into the hose. This pressure assists in retraction of the hose and tailpipe adapter into the hose holster for storage. This makes it easy to retract and creates a clean, professional facility appearance. And our unique Remote Start option give technicians ability to start/stop the exhaust fan from each bay.
How it Works
STEP 1 EXTENDED HOSE
The open damper allows exhaust to be evacuated and for the exhaust hose to be extended.
STEP 2 RETRACTING
The closed damper restricts the airflow and assists the exhaust hose to retract into the hose holster due to the negative pressure created by the exhaust fan.
STEP 3 STORED POSITION
At full retraction, the tailpipe adapter rests in the hose holster cradle—even when the exhaust fan is off.
THE APEX RAIL SYSTEM
With the Apex Rail, the Vacuum Holster™ is mounted on a sliding trolley that can be moved along the length of the rail. This approach enables fewer hosedrops to cover the maintenance area. The Apex Rail provides the best appearance, flexibility, and functionality.
The aluminum rail of the Apex Rail System maintains an airtight seal while allowing the trolley complete mobility. The airtight seal positively affects energy savings.
Available in standard and high capacity models.

Energy Savings
Keeping heat and A/C in, and unnecessary costs out.
While other systems may offer dampers as accessories, only the Vacuum Holster requires the operator to close the damper in order to retract the exhaust hose. This means that out-of-use hoses do not exhaust heated/cooled air. This results in lower energy costs.
The heat loss—and consequent utility expenses —that can occur because of undampered hose drops can be surprisingly high.
An Ascent Systems rep can quantify the heat loss that would arise with an undampered system, and can estimate the energy savings that would result from a dampered system.
Quality Components
Made domestically, made to last.
From the exhaust fan to the tailpipe adapter, every component used in our systems has stood the test of time. We work with trusted suppliers and ensure that quality, fit and installation are of the highest quality.
