Chameleon Retractable Central Vacuum Hose Systems – Installed & Serviced at Swiss Boy Vacuum

The Chameleon retractable central vacuum hose system solves one of the most practical frustrations in whole-home vacuuming: storing and handling a 30- to 50-foot vacuum hose. With Chameleon, the hose lives inside your wall. You open the inlet valve, the hose extends to whatever length you need, you vacuum, and the hose retracts and disappears when you close the valve. No dragging a coiled hose from room to room, no storage hooks, no tripping hazard. Swiss Boy Vacuum installs more Chameleon retractable systems in Utah homes than any other retractable hose brand, and our team knows this system inside and out.

Chameleon is manufactured by H-P Products, one of the most established names in the central vacuum accessories industry. The Chameleon system uses a proprietary CamPort valve design — a wall-mounted inlet that accepts the hose end and locks it securely in place during use. The hose stores coiled inside a purpose-built stud bracket assembly mounted within the wall cavity, positioned to serve the cleaning radius of that zone. Available in hose lengths from 30 to 60 feet, with and without a protective sock, and in standard and direct-connect handle configurations including RF (radio frequency) remote activation. Valve trim kits are available in white, almond, and black to match your home's décor.

Swiss Boy Vacuum carries the complete Chameleon product line — new retractable hose assemblies, stud bracket assemblies, CamPort valve trim kits, RF handle and receiver kits, stretch hoses, hose end repair kits, O-rings, seals, and all hardware needed for new installations or servicing existing systems. We stock both the standard CamPort hose ends and the threaded locking hose end variants, including models with and without low-voltage extension for powered brush rolls. Whether you are installing a Chameleon system for the first time or replacing a component in an existing installation, we have the parts on hand.

Swiss Boy Vacuum's technicians have extensive hands-on experience installing Chameleon retractable systems in Utah homes, from single-zone guest room installations to whole-home multi-valve systems serving every floor. We handle the rough-in during new construction or remodel, and we can retrofit Chameleon into most existing homes with accessible wall cavities. If you are considering a retractable hose upgrade for your central vacuum system, call us at 801-298-3656 to discuss your home's layout and get an installation estimate.

Who Is Chameleon For?

Chameleon is ideal for homeowners who want the full convenience of a central vacuum system without the inconvenience of managing a long external hose. It is particularly well-suited for custom home builds, remodels with accessible wall cavities, and households where clean aesthetics and ease of use are priorities. If you already have a central vacuum system and want to eliminate the hose entirely from your living space, Chameleon is the most practical retractable upgrade available.
