Electric Central Vacuum Hoses

Electric central vacuum hoses bring power to the powerhead and the central vacuum unit. They are available in a wide selection of lightweight, flexible, and crushproof designs. Electric central vacuum hoses offer direct connect and pigtail options to use with electrified inlets. These hoses allow you to operate a central vacuum powerhead or power brush.

For added convenience to cleaning are the comfortable handle designs and fingertip controls on the handle grip. Along with a larger inner diameter that provides better dirt removal. Electric hoses are available in multiple lengths.

Purpose

• Electric central vacuum hoses enable the use of an electric powerhead in association with the on/off function of the central vacuum system. These hoses can turn the unit on and off with the flip of the switch located on the hose handle. When a high-voltage central vacuum hose is inserted into a wall inlet valve, the central vacuum system is automatically turned on. The high-volt powerhead is then controlled via the switch on the hose handle (3-way switch).

Key Benefits

• Electric central vac hoses are ergonomically designed with a gas pump or open handle that includes a 3-way switch control right at your fingertips. The 3-way switch can turn the central vacuum system and the electric powerhead on and off.

Essential Design

• Electric hoses are made to provide world-class airflow, durability, and lifelong performance. The electric central vacuum hose handles incorporate a full swivel design that prevents the hose from kinking and relieves wrist strain.

Low Voltage Central Vacuum Hoses

Low-voltage central vacuum hoses are used if the central vacuum unit needs to be switched on or off regularly during vacuuming. They are ergonomically designed by incorporating the switch on the handle to turn the central vacuum on and off.

Low-voltage central vacuum hoses are equipped with a two-position rocker switch, conveniently located at the handle of the hose, so you can manually turn your central vacuum system on or off via the switch on the handle. Normally designed with a 360° swivel allowing maximum performance, eliminates wrist strain and fatigue, stops kinking, and increases hose life. With low-voltage central vacuum hoses, you can increase suction for maximum cleaning power, or decrease the suction for the most delicate of fabrics.

A basic straight suction central vacuum hose is designed to fit 99.9% of all central vacuum wall inlets today! The crush-proof basic hose simply put is the most basic hose in the central vacuum industry. Also known as a straight suction hose just insert the end of the hose into the wall inlet and the metal connection on the end of the hose completes the low voltage circuit turning the central vacuum on. Instantly you will have suction once the hose is inserted.
