Quick Clean Kit for Central Vacuums Q&A

Hello Mike, the only hose you can do that with is the Basic Hose and you can find the hose coupler in the Parts/Hose Parts section under Products.

Yes, the Quick Clean Kit fits perfectly into all Beam Central Vacuum System wall vacuum inlets.

Hello Dana, great ideas and all very doable. T into the existing pipe and low voltage wire bringing it to a SuperValve and then tie it into electrical as well. Then you can use the EdgeLift or Stealth (with correct extension wands) and a short electrical hose. We sell 15ft versions and a 30ft that comes apart at 20ft. It would be best if you'd call us for details and help deciding the best route to go on the hose, etc.

The hose will fit any inlet 1.5" in diameter opening for the hose.

Hello Vailda, the Quick Clean Kit will fit and if you have inlet faceplates that are square or wider than tall you will also need this part https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA. It is pushed on to the wall end of the Stretch Hose.

Hello, typically Budd central vacuum has smaller 1-1/4" diameter inlets so you'd need to buy this part and insert it into the Stretch Hose end. That will work fine! Enjoy! https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=302-1.25ST

Hi, hoping we understand your question correctly, you are asking what inlet you should put in so you can use the Quick Clean Kit. That answer is simple. Use any tall rectangle shaped inlet here https://builtinvacuum.com/inlets/basic.html along with backing plate #517. You can put that on it's side, down low, or up high. If you have more questions please let us know.

No, we do not recommend that you groom your pet with the floor attachement included in the Quick Clean Kit For Pets (#410QP). The floor attachment in this kit makes it easier for your to vacuum up pet hair from your floors due it's "castle cut" design bristles. You can use our Pet Shet Eliminator Kit (#410SE) which combines central vacuum suction and professional tools to groom your pet with NO MESS.

Hi, yes, the Stretch Hose and Quick Clean Kit will fit all Electrolux central vacuum wall outlets. They are standard inlets as in nearly all other brand installations.

Hello, yes this working fine with your Fasco and the wall inlets and would be perfect for vacuuming the lint trap on the dryer.

We don't suggest using this for regular vacuuming of carpets. Use an electric or non-electric vacuum kit, they have a beater brush for excellent grooming. The Quick Clean Kit has no beater brush.

Yes, the Stretch Hose and Quick Clean Kits are compatible with all Galaxy Systems.

Hello Marica, yes you can certainly use it for hardwood floors. You can also attach it to the end of your current hose to make a very long hose when needed! Great questions.

Hi Joanne, excellent questions. Yes, the Stretch Hose will fit right into the electrified inlet but will not be using the electric connection holes above or below the main suction hole. As soon as the Stretch Hose is inserted into the inlet the metal ring on the hose end will touch the little contacts inside the suction hole and start the suction. For those whose suction starts when the lid is lifted it will work fine as well. The Stretch Hose will not work with your electric attachment for the carpet but will work with all your other attachments such as dusting brush, wands, hard floor tools, etc. You may want to pick up a new wand such as two plastic ones (#406P) or a telescopic one (#406T).

Hi, yes, the Stretch Hose fits all Hoover Central Vacuum Systems. In fact, it fits all central vacuum systems. There are a couple that need an adapter such as Budd, Kenmore, and some Nutone. The adapter tab makes on the Stretch Hose page makes it all easy to figure out, but for your Hoover there are no connection issues at all.

Yes, the Quick Clean Kit fits all Hoover Central Vacuum wall inlets.

Hi, there is not a sock for the stretch hose because there are no socks that scretch. The hose is not very long so you will not be going around many corners. A stretch hose different it that is expands as you go, you are not dragging a hose.

Hello Lynn, yes the hose is sold separately here https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=315. It is compatible with all vacuum attachments so long as they don't have an electrical cord. The hose is best for infrequent use and can get really loud when stretched (depending on the suction of your system).

Hi, the Stretch Hose only weighs 5 pounds.

Yes, the Quick Clean Kit is compatible with all Beam systems. The hose starts the vacuum as soon as it inserted into the wall valve. The metal around the hose end triggers the contacts inside the wall valve. Pull the hose out of the valve and the suction stops. The Stretch Hose cannot be used with an electric brush, only none electric attachments. The two prongs are for electricity in electrified hoses and have nothing to do with the suction turning on. Look inside the main hole on your wall valve. You will see two tiny metal contact points at the top or bottom. When touched together the suction starts. The electrified hose keeps those contacts apart via a wire that runs to the hose handle switch, but the Stretch hose causes them to touch upon insertion and the suction starts right away.

Yes, the brush in the kit is the same high quality and highly rated #402D Deluxe 12 floor brush.

Hello Mary, Kenmore central vacs had both 1.5 diameter wall inlet holes and 1.25 . If yours are 1.5 then it fits. If it is the smaller size ten you need this https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=302-1.25ST to put into the end of the hose and it will fit perfectly. Enjoy!

Good humor. But you really ought to buy a 50ft Basic Hose. It is of much higher quality than the stretch hose - especially for garages. You can easily cut the 50ft hose to the exact length you want and reattach the hose end.

The Stretch Hose should not be longer or linked because it will decrease the suction. Though the hose is very convenient for quick clean ups, it has a lot of air turbulence internally and the longer it is the less the air flows. Can you put two together? Yes, but the suction will be weaker. Too weak? That depends on the vacuum model you have. A Vacuflo has a lot of waterlift or sealed suction so it will do better then units with lower sealed suction. The Electrolux has less of this suction then Vacuflo so it will not perform as well. What is it you are going to vacuum? If you plan on using an air powered carpet nozzle with spinning brush, do NOT use any Stretch Hose. This hose is best for quick clean ups on hard surfaces.

Rebecca, the handle is available here https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=315HB
