Good Luck! An be careful! Please post your project here.

Our canister is in the basement. Where you run the internal hose depends on the house layout. If you create to step an incline, you vacuume will never work properly. Our hose hook ups are at the same height as plugins. Why are you running it through the attic?

Are you one floor or more?

I have a central vacuum but it doesn't go through the attic. The tank is in the basement the air outlet is hole in the wall. Why do you have to go through the attic?

I am confused what are you putting the attic? Is it the tank that collects all the debris or are are you putting the pipes that go between floors up there?

The pipes. Garage has the vacuum. My floor, only one, is concrete.

Oh OK how are going to access the tank if it's in the attic? Could the unit be kept outside? Do you want it in the attic because of the noise?

I live in Florida, no basement or crawl space so pipe is run in the attic and the canister is in the garage. The newer units self store the hose in the pipes - a huge improvement over the old style!

Are you comfortable using PVC? First step would be checking out some videos. Then you would need to figure out where you want the thing where you connect the hose. The most important thing is you have to also do some wiring so the unit works. Then you would have to make sure you don't take out any pipes or wires in the walls.

Then you would have to consider liability if you do the job on your own and something happens does your homeowner/rental insurance cover the loss. If you are not a professional it may not. I'm not trying to discourage but even if the professional install is expensive they usually do the job faster and they carry insurance for the job they do. They would also be in the hot attic. A lot of DIY doesn't take insurance into the equation that's why it's so expensive.

Good luck again I hate to be a buzz kill but to err on the side of caution might be your best bet.

Good for you the times they are a changing you can get just about anything on the web and everyone has to be a Jill or Jack of all trades.
