Premium Electric Central Vacuum Hoses: A Cut Above the Rest

We understand the importance of having a reliable and efficient vacuum system. That’s why we carry premium electric hoses are available in three convenient sizes:

  • 30-Foot
  • 36-Foot
  • 50-Foot

These hoses feature a new 1-3/8" interior diameter, which creates up to 27% more airflow, ensuring superior cleaning power.

We proudly present a two different types of hoses:

  1. Electric hoses engineered for unparalleled durability, compatible with 99.9% of central vacuum wall inlets featuring standard 1.5" diameters. This innovative design seamlessly integrates both low and high voltage wires throughout the hose.
  2. Low voltage hoses efficiently transmits a signal to activate the central vacuum system. Meanwhile, the 110 voltage is delivered via a pigtail cord or direct connect at the wall end, powering the electric carpet attachment, also known as a power nozzle or electric beater bar.

One of the standout features of our electric hoses is the three-way rocker switch located at the handle. This switch allows complete control over the functions of both the central vacuum and the power nozzle right at your fingertips.

The center position shuts off the entire operation, the first position activates the central vacuum system for straight suction, and the second position provides both suction and electricity for the electrical attachment.

With an orthopedic-style grip and a 360-degree swivel handle, our hoses offer maximum performance while eliminating wrist strain and fatigue. The design stops kinking, increases hose life, and ensures a smooth and hassle-free cleaning experience.
