4-Switch Hose

We need to replace an old 32ft 4-wire vacuum hose on a Vacu Maid system (P-100). The hose has a gas pump style handle design with 2 switches. 1 switch for the P-100 and the second switch for the carpet brush. The other end of the hose is a direct connect for 125v AC and low voltage, metal pins for the AC and a split ring to pickup the low voltage. The hose end that plugs into the wall has a 1-7/16 outside dia. and a 1-3/16 inside dia. I did not find in the description of your hoses a reference to 4-wire or the number of switches on a handle. Can you tell me if any of your hoses might match the hose i tried to describe. Thanks Les. Tacoma WA.

Answer:

The electric hoses offered on our website are all 4-wire hoses with a 3-way switch. Please review the details of this hose on our Electric Hose Page to confirm compatibility.

AB27 Cord Replacement

A.B.27 Pigtail connection problem. Hi, I have an electric hose model A.B.27 with pigtail. The pigtail has come a bit loose from the hose itself. Currently power only passes thru the connection to the electric brush if someone is physically holding the pigtail in a certain position to the hose. Can the pigtail and/or hose connection be easily replaced/repaired? If so, which parts/instructions do I need? Or, do I need to replace the entire hose? Thanks, Steve from Edmonton, Canada

Answer:

The cord is available and easily replaced. You may view the replacement AB27 Cord Kit #352CO on our website.

Beam Hose Doesn't Fit in Nutone Outlets

We have Nutone wall outlets installed in 2000. Our main system is Kenmore. We just bought a used second hose (Beam brand) for the basement but the metal connector is too large to fit all the way completely into the wall outlet? The hose power connects on but if we pull too hard the hose will come out. Is there an adaptor part required to downsize from male to female? Thanks!

Answer:

We suggest shaving a bit of plastic off the hose end so it goes in far enough for proper connection.

Broan CV40 Electric Hose?

I have the old broan cv40c and my hose is the cv331 in the brochure - electrical cords on both ends. I need a new hose (with electrical cords at each end) Can you help me? Thank you!

Answer:

The first step in determining which hose you need depends on your inlet valves. Does the opening of your valve have an ID (inner diameter) of 1.5 ? Please review all available options on the Electric Hose page on our website, choose the length of hose you prefer, and remember to select the corded option. If you have inlet valves that measure anything other than 1.5 , please contact our offices at 1-800-997-2278 (M-TH 7-5 PST) and one of our helpful representatives will be more than happy to assist you.

Broken Pins On Brush Cord

I have a smart advantage beater bar, model SA-2001, that is missing one of the two pins that plugs into the central vac hose. Can this be fixed or is a replacement power cord needed? Thanks. Carol Pickering, Ontario

Convert or Swap 2-Way Switch Electric Hose?

I have a PLASTFLEX instant on/automatic hose with a 2 way switch handle. I would like to turn the vacuum off/on at the handle instead of always having to remove the hose from the wall. Is this possible? Change the hose end or switch out? Thanks for your help. Andrea

Answer:

Our Electric Hoses (also made by Plastiflex) allow you to operate the suction and power brush with the three way switch on the hose handle. If your suction hole (inlet valve) measures 1-1/2 diameter and you see two small little metal contact points inside the hole (can be on top or bottom), this indicates you have standard inlets and our hoses will be compatible with your system.

Cyclovac

Hello. I have 2 houses with cyclovacs and super valves. The first is a rental with carpet and hardwood floors. The 2nd is my home, with all hardwood. For both houses, I have only one cyclovac 30' hose and wand - it is electric. 1. Is the smart money to save up front $$ and buy a quality low voltage hose for my home with all hardwood, or pay up and get a 2nd electric hose? 2. Is the low voltage hose lighter and suppler than your electric version? (easier to haul around) 3. Could you recommend ratcheting extension wands of equal quality to the cyclovac for both your electric and low voltage hose? - My wife doesn't want to give up her cyclovac electric wand unless a new low voltage wand is equally nice. Thanks, Bill - Forest Ranch, Ca.

Answer:

Based on the information you provided, your best option is our Low Voltage Hose and corresponding Extension Wands. The low voltage hose is lighter as there are no electrical components to add weight to the hose. If you would prefer the Electric Hose, be sure to go over the detailed photo in the Electric Hose page to ensure compatibility.

EasyFlo Compatible?

Electric Burn at Hose Handle End

I bought a new house with a Hoover central unit with a piggy back style cord connection to wall. A couple of months after moving in, I was vacuuming and I kept loosing power to the beater but it would come back on and I had no loss of suction. A few moments later, I glanced down near my hand (holding the gas pump style handle) and it sparked and black smoke followed. I let it cool off and noticed the plastic is melted around the connection. Since then, I've only been using the non-electric parts to clean hard surfaces. The electric carpet attachment is new (previous owner had just gotten it). Can I just replace the handle or do I need a new hose and electric carpet attachment? Thanks

Answer:

This sounds like the hose handle connection shorted. This is usually due to hot swapping (disconnecting the hose handle while still on). Please review the details of the available Hose Replacement Parts on our website. We recommend starting with replacing the Switch Assembly in the hose handle.

Electric Hose Extension?

I currently have a 30ft pig-tail corded hose (Beam) but need a little length for one room. I don't really want to carry around a lot of extra hose when not needed in most rooms. Do you have an extension that would work with a powerhead? If not could you tell me if I add an extension plug the pigtail into the wall with an extension cord would I still be able to get electricity to the power head?

Answer:

You can use a 12' Hose Extension with your 30' pigtail hose. Simply, add an extension cord in order to use this extension with your existing powerhead.

Hayden Hose and Nozzle Upgrade and Replace

We have a seven year old Hayden 6000 and a Hayden Superpack Deluxe electric powerhead with a 30ft hose. My wife is very petite and the powerhead and hose is heavy for her to carry upstairs. The powerhead needs a new base assembly and a new brush/beater bar assembly, and the hose is a few feet shorter than what would be ideal for us. One option we are considering is to replace the Hayden Superpack Deluxe kit with a new Stealth kit. How is the weight of the Stealth electric powerhead and 35 ft hose assembly compared to our vintage Hayden Superpack Deluxe with the 30 ft hose?

Answer:

We highly recommend the 12 Stealth Kit as the nozzle and hose are a few pounds lighter than your current set up.

Hayden Hose Parts, Bad Fuse or Switch?

Hi my hayden super pack doesn't work when you turn the switch to vacumm but works with the roller only when you turn the switch opposite way. Pls advise what's wrong with the vacumm? do i need to replace the handle or is there any other way to replace the fuse from the handle?

Answer:

It is likely you will only need to replace the switch as the power brush would not activate if the fuse was defective. You can view our Replacement Hose Parts on our website.
