Featured Accessories for All Central Vacuums
All of the accessories sold by MD Manufacturing will work will your Vacuum System. Below are some of our top sellers, and here are a lot more you may be interested in.
Non-Electric Hoses
Low Voltage Hose. Enjoy the convenience of turning the vacuum on/off at your finger tips. Your inlet valves must have two contact points inside the valve neck for this feature. If not, use the Basic Hose below. See all Low Voltage Hoses / Buy.
Basic Hose. If your vacuum starts when you open the valve, this is the best hose to use. But if the diameter of your valve is not exactly 1.5 inches, you will need to buy the Low Voltage Hose above. See all Basic Hoses / Buy.
Air Driven Power Brush (non-electrical)
Need an air driven power brush? These power brushes will connect to non-button friction-lock wands. We suggest buying an entire Attachment Kit to get the most from newer hoses and better attachments. For more infomation, please see all of our air driven brushes.
The TurboCat (TL2000, T210, TP210) air driven beater brush, is the top-of-the-line in non-electric power brushes. Backed by years of experience, it is our customer's top choice when buying a new air driven brush. More Details.
The TT27 air driven beater brush is great for homes with minimal carpeting; however, if you want a higher quality brush, please check out the TurboCat. We also sell parts and accessories for this brush. More Details.

Odd and older types of hose and inlet configurations
NON-STANDARD: Wall inlet valve is NOT between 1 7/16 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Sears, Kenmore, Whirlpool, Budd, and Black & Decker typically had 1.25 inch diameter vacuum outlets. Unfortunately it is next to impossible to change out your inlet valves to the larger size inlets without ripping open the walls, but you can buy a new high quality crushproof replacement hose for your system. Complete line of products for Sears, Kenmore, Whirlpool and Budd and Black & Decker central vacuums.
Inlet valve hole is slightly larger than 1.5 inches. If the inlet valve hole is slightly larger than 1.5 inches, such as older Filtex models (that used a rubber end that go into an all metal inlet), you will need to use a hose with tapered cuff. If you want to replace the inlets you can have a much more functional system. Here is a turtorial of changing out inlet valves from an older Filtex valve with a pop out button. Also, here is a complete list for Filtex replacements.
Vacuum power unit starts by lifting valve lid or pushing a valve button
The power unit on/off feature, on hoses with a handle switch, will not function with these valves. But you can use a corded hose to have control over a electric power brush. Or, you could use a non-electric hose, with no switches, and non-electric power brush.
Inlet Valves
The inlets shown on this page represent about 98% of the North American market.
Electric Inlet Valves
They carry electric current for an electric power brush. All electric valves have two small holes above or below the intake hole.
(Here is an issue with non-recessed holes that is easily resolved by moving the prongs on new direct connect electrical hoses back one notch. The picture on the left show recessed holes.)
They have no small holes above or below the intake hole. The valve may have different styles but no small holes.
Inlet valves (pictured) have small metal contact points inside the neck of the main hole. When these are crossed (by inserting an all metal hose end or flipping a hose handle switch) the power unit turns on.
Purchase our 35-foot vacuum cord (Part#324) and place it along the exterior of the hose with a hose sock. Connect and disconnect the cord end from the electric power brush's cord each time you use it. On the vacuum inlet end, plug the cord into the nearest electrical wall outlet that is within 8-feet of the inlet valve.
Inlet compatibility. Universal valves have an 1 1/2 inch diameter intake hole. If you have a question, send an inlet valve e-mail to MD.
Installing inlets in new or existing homes - see installation page. Make sure there is a small gasket joining the face plate and mounting plate. A gasket is built into newer mounting plates. If you are dealing with older valves or plates or if it is loose and leaks air, use some electricians tape around the face plate neck before inserting it into the mounting plate. Start with about 1.5 wraps tightly around the neck.
