How and why to hang a shop vac from the ceiling | dust collection hack

How and why I hang em high. I show you how and why to hang your shop vac from the ceiling. If you are using your wet dry vacuum as a dust collector you may want to consider making a bracket so you can hang it from the ceiling and get it off the floor. It's a simple and effective technique for getting more out of your shop vacuum as a dust collector. I included plans for the two vacuums I hung in the video. The small one is very old and the other one is very expensive but if you happen to have either of these two models maybe you can take a screen shot and build yourself a bracket. If you have a different model you will have to figure it out on your own. Just make sure you make the bracket tall enough so that when the vacuum head is sitting on the upper ears that there is enough clearance to pull the filter. The upper ears need to be sitting down low enough for the vacuum head to sit with at least a half inch of clearance above it and the distance below the ears needs to be the height of the filter plus at least a half inch above the top of the container when it is nested.

Good luck and happy dust collecting!
