When it comes to vacuum cleaners, we know our customers have a variety of needs. At Think Vacuums, we provide a large selection of vacuum cleaner hoses to meet the most demanding requirements.

Collecting litter, sludge, and dirt can be an abrasive task on vacuum tubing materials, needing products that are very durable and resistant to the harsh elements these flex hoses will come into contact with. Our large stock of versatile vacuum hoses is designed to meet the flex ducting requirements your work demands while being safe and easy to use.

We provide vacuum hoses made from sturdy and flexible polyethylene material. Most individuals know polyethylene as simple plastic, but it can be quite sturdy and robust when the situation calls for it (such as in the vacuum cleaner hoses). Though polyethylene is lightweight and elastic, it sacrifices nothing in terms of durability. This vacuum tubing material has exceptional resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasives, making it perfect for gathering any waste and refuse without suffering any damage itself. Because of the polyethylene materials, these vacuum cleaner hoses are long-lasting and flexible, enabling the tube to access the hardest to reach places. Our vacuum tubing and flex hoses are also available in small or large diameter sizes giving OEM's the choice to use hoses that best match their machinery's capability. We offer vacuum tubes from 1/2" ID up to 4" in diameter. Additionally, our polyethylene material hoses are usually provided in a variety of lengths and typically feature a "per foot" price point.

Our hoses allow you to handle difficult debris like plaster dust, metal knockout slugs, wet sludge, and even broken glass. These are all abrasive, inconvenient, and messy materials that can be downright dangerous without appropriate removal by well-built collection ducts. By removing the necessity of physically sweeping up said materials by hand, vacuum cleaner hoses make you cleanup experience as fast, easy, and safe as possible. Additionally, we offer a variety of large-diameter hoses made for industrial & commercial vacuum applications. We offer crush-resistant hoses that exhibit exceptional flexing characteristics.

Our flex hoses have a smooth interior that guarantees efficient airflow and limits clogs. Many sizes of our sur can handle a full vacuum. Since certain vacuums can generate positive and negative pressures ("blowing out" versus "sucking in"), fan ducts and vacuum cleaner hoses must be able to handle both types of force.

Specifically, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) ducts are another example of a material prized for its use in vacuum cleaner pipes. PVC flex ducting is especially valued because, overall, flex ducts made from PVC feature smaller, more maneuverable diameters. Smaller diameters can be beneficial to vacuum cleaner hoses, since it is generally easier to facilitate constant, strong air movement and transfer through smaller ducts as opposed to larger ones. What's more, PVC collection tubes are additionally valued because the vinyl coated spring steel wire helix of PVC ducts confers onto them a high degree of durability and strength without sacrificing bendability. Besides, at times, PVC can have a temperature resistance of up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning that it can function well in a variety of heat or chill sensitive areas.

We offer numerous hose-ends to satisfy a variety of applications. Poly-welded cuffs provide strength and stability when attached to a vacuum, giving flex-ducting a more permanent and sturdy tube-end. However, if you require vacuum cleaner hoses that demand mobility, screw-cuffs would be a great choice. For an economically efficient option, screw cuffs allow you to detach the vacuum tubing and make it interchangeable with various hoses.

As a final note, consider utilizing the lengths of vacuum tubing equipped with innate "anti-kink" properties. This feature helps to lower the risk of a blockage occurring in your piping, allowing for unrestricted and uncontaminated airflow throughout your vacuum tubing systems.

Vacuum cleaners (and, of course, accompanying vacuum cleaner tubes) are some of the most ubiquitous and widely-used appliances in our modern society. To keep your vacuum cleaning applications copacetic, you must maintain you implement and sustain quality vacuum hoses. Luckily, we've got you covered.
