I am going to use a rolling Shop-Vac (trade name) and 2.5" hose. I want

that some shop vac systems have piping that goes a long distance. I
would ideally like to go two sections of hose, and that would be 40 to
50 feet depending on the hose. How much drop of suction and efficiency
would I experience through that length, with only one opening at the end
of the hose?

Wow, this came back like a boomerang... we had this discussion last year..

Did anything change ??? Did the info from last year age out because the
pecans changed size... did they get bigger.
Nothing changed. Your life is still so small that you can remember
these minute threads from a year ago. It HAS to suck to be you. In the
meantime, there could be new people here, new ideas, new slants.

I really like the idea of the lengths of pvc or abs rather than the
irregular surface of the hose. IIRC, that was not brought up last year
in that discussion.

The world is flat, and the patent office still needs to be closed
because we have invented everything to be invented. Now off with your
chucker ..................
