Hose Cuff with Metal Ring
Cuff screws onto the threads of the Basic Hose (counter-clockwise). Also very helpful for maintenance of a central vacuum system. When inserted into a vacuum inlet the suction starts right away so it is easy to test all the inlets and to cuff with the hand, which builds pressure and helps clear out debris and clogs. The insertion end is just under 1-1/2" wide OD, and the screw-on (threaded) end is 1-7/8" wide OD.

Tapered Cuff - Inlet Valves 1.5+ Inches Diameter

This cuff will not work with valves having two metal contact points inside the inlet insertion hole. Basic Hoses #302TC and 303TC ship with this cuff included.

Reduced Tapered Cuff for 1.25 inch dia. inlets
Reduced Tapered Cuff screws onto hoses - those without a switch on the handle. The cuff fits into 1.25" wall vacuum outlet valves such as Budd, Whirlpool, Black and Decker and Sears. Hose #302RC and 303RC ship with this cuff included. Plus, this cuff installs easily on any basic hose.

6-inch Adapter cord to lengthen power brush cord
This 6-inch adapter cord allows any electric power brush cord to fit into the plastic channel of the Cord Channel Upper Wand part 406SU or Telescopic Wand part 406ST. The upper wand will then be ready for any of the Electric Hoses to fit directly into it - conveniently connecting both the electrical prongs from the powered carpet brush and the wands to the hose handle. This cord fits 3-prong cords because the third prong is no longer required.

35-foot Electric Cord for Electric Power Brush
Use this cord to connect an electric power brush to a non-electric hose. Simply plug one end into an electric outlet near the vacuum wall inlet and the other end into the vacuum head cord. You will also need a hose sock to keep the cord beside the hose and you will need an new lower extension wand with button lock (#406SL)to keep the power head connected.
Female end is 5/8 inch wide and about one inch long.

Full Switch Assembly for Low Voltage On-off Hose
The entire switch assembly and wires are included - minus the handle. Used in Low Voltage on/off switch hoses that control the vacuum suction (not an electric power brush). Note that the #382H Handle and newer Low Voltage Hoses will also fit this by unsnapping the black switch from the gray plastic. (Older, pre-1999, low voltage hoses will require splicing in the older contact board or you can special order Plastiflex #SH130efhr01.)

Cord for Stealth or Central Vacuum Cleaner
Not only is this a direct replacement for the Stealth Vacuum Brush (Part # 154 in the Stealth exploded diagram), it is also a good replacement cord for many central vacuum cleaners. On The Stealth, the black wire goes on the right side when standing in front of the power brush. Cord is 39 inches long. Exposed end of the wire is only wires, not metal tipped. Wires only hold better and last longer than the metal tipped version.

RFX Central Vac Wireless Remote Kit (not RF915)
This is the easiest way to bypass damaged low voltage wiring and remotely start your vacuum unit. Simply install the receiver near the vacuum unit and click the key fob to turn the suction on and off. Surprise - your low voltage wiring troubles are over. Range is similar to a vehicle key fob - about 150 feet depending on wall thickness and barriers. The powerful 400 mhz is sufficient for nearly all homes. Each receiver is programmed separately so you can have multiple systems in adjoining homes and condos. Extra key fobs sold separately. Not compatible with #145 LV11 parts. PDF of RFX Instructions

Switch for Electric Hose, no suction control.
This switch and circuit board is for an older electric hose that sends power (electricity) to the power brush, but NOT the suction. With this hose, when you plug the hose into the wall the suction would start right away.

Low Voltage Booster Box
Splice this booster into a vacuum's low voltage wiring system, plug it into 110 volts, and your 24 volt line will be boosted with plenty of juice! The two blue wires connect to your power unit low voltage (you can use speaker wire to extend any of the wire here) and the red and yellow (or two red) wires connect to the low voltage leads coming from the install site.

Used to adapt a hose to fit Budd or Kenmore / Sears inlets and others that are 1.25 inch diameter (ones that start suction when OPENED).

It fits into all Low Voltage, Electric Hoses, and Stretch Hoses. If it needs to go into a Basic Hose, it will only fit the Basic Hose with Tapered Cuff. (Note: the Reduced Tapered Cuff product is made up of the Tapered Cuff and this Metal Stub Tube.)
