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.

Hi, yes the Quick Clean Kit fits right in and work with all AirFlo Systems. The bags you need are right here too https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=720H-5,710Q

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

The hose will work with all industry standard inlets. If you have the Nutone inlets that measure 3" by 3.5" square inlets, then it will not work as they are a different size. No adapters are available due to the type of material the body of the hose is constructed with.

Cindy, if you have square Nutone inlets then you need this adapter that slides over the wall end of the Stretch Hose https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA. If you have taller rectangle inlets then you don't need any adapters.

Hi, yes it does fit, only look at the Nutone adapter, that some homes need, depending if a certain style wall plate was installed in your home. Click here to see the adapter and the type of wall plate https://builtinvacuum.com/quick-kit/more.html.

Hi Asheesh, congratulations on the new home and the central vac - which is the only way to clean! Yes, your Nutone system has the standard size inlet so the Quick Clean Kit will fit right in and work perfectly for those quick clean-ups. There are some Nutone inlets that are a little wider then they are tall which need an adapter for the Stretch Hose. That adapter is here and is pushed onto the end of the hose https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA.

Hi Amy, if your inlets are tall rectangles then this fits right in but if they are a bit wider then tall you will need this adaptor https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA. Just push the entire adaptor on to the end of the Stretch Hose.

Hello Nancy, yes, the Quick Clean Kit will fit your vacuum ports and the CentraMop will fit all the hoses you will have.

Hi, sorry, no one has invented the stretch hose with on/off switch yet. The one we offer is worth the convenience, even without the switch, though.

Hi, yes this will work. When you plug it into the inlet it will start automatically. There is a metal ring all the way around the hose end that makes contact with the two small metal balls just inside the inlet hole at the top or bottom. The kit is really useful.

Hi, the PetVac tool comes with a hose but the tool can be used with your stretch hose. We have other tools linked from this page as well that fit the vacuum hose https://builtinvacuum.com/petvac/index.html. If you are using a central vacuum you will have to "bleed" off some of the suction by opening another valve a bit or something like that.

Hello Nancy, the Stretch Hose fits into all electric style vacuum ports and its metal band engages the two small metal nipples with the main vacuum hole, thus turning on the suction. There is not any connection made with the two holes for electricity because it is not needed to run the suction for the Quick Clean Kit.

Yes, the Quick Clean Kits are compatible with your, and all, Rittenhouse Central Vacuum Systems. Thanks for asking.

Yes, the Stretch Hose fits all AirVac Systems. Inlets installed after the home was built are more than sturdy enough to handle this hose. Several of the employees here have the same set up and there are no issues whatsoever. AirVac inlets are the same universal inlets and backing plates we use.

Hi Jennifer, yes, this will be perfect for your ideas. The brush that comes with it great for pet hair removal of hard floor surfaces. If you are looking for removal from fabric furniture then also get the Lint Brush #403LB. All these vacuum parts with with all Beam Central Vacuums as well as 99% of all the other brands. Enjoy!

Yes, this fits all SilentMaster vacuums. If fits ALL vacuums without any adapters if the wall inlet hole is about 1-1/2" diameter. And yes, use around the bird cage and kitchen on a daily basis is a perfect fit for the Stretch Hose or Quick Clean Kit.

Hello, we get this hose from various vendors and right now it is longer. In the future in will be shorter. If it is too long for your needs you can unscrew an end and cut the hose.

Hello, yes the hose is just like a slinky . This hose and the attachments fit your Hayden Vacuum System, as well as 99% of all other systems.

Hello, if the accessories fit your Beam hose then they will fit the Stretch Hose perfectly.

Hi, yes, the Stretch Hose and Kits will work with all vacuum systems that have Stealth vacuums, any version.

Yes, the Stretch Hose will fit the tools you have and any sold on builtinvacuum.com. Enjoy!

Assuming your system is not an AirForce system (see label on main unit), be sure you are inserting the hose far enough into the valve so that the metal ring is making contact with the metal nubs inside. If you have Vacuflo, Vacumaid, or Nutone you may have one of their odd sized valves and we have adapters for them. Please call us.

Yes, the suction will start when the hose is inserted and stop when taken out.

Hello Steve, your metal hose end will fit into the wall end of the Stretch Hose so you can use it as an extension hose for your central vacuum. However, it would be best used infrequently. If you want a more permanent long-term fix then buy a longer hose which is available here. But if you need it just to get one area of your home then go for it.

Hi, yes, this wand will be compatible with 99% of hoses out there in use with central vacuums.

Good Morning Joe!  Yes, this hose is compatible with your Vacuflo Inlet Valves.

Our 7-30 foot long Stretch Hose fits all Vacuflo inlets without any adapter. When this hose is sold out we are going to carry a smaller Stretch Hose that will need an adapter to fit the proprietary 4940 Vacuflo inlets. The adpater is called the Nutone adapter here https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA.

Hi, the Stretch Hose doesn't need electricity. For inlets that start when opened this hose works fine. The issue with some Vacuflo systems is these type of inlets are a tad narrower so the hose will not go in far. On the adapters page, when viewing the Stretch Hose, you will find a Nutone adapter. Use this adapter for Vacuflo inlets that start when opened.

The proprietary inlets refer only to the Vacuflo inlets in the home. You know you have them for a couple of reasons. The hose end that plugs into them has two metal numbs that stick out and plug into two holes above the main suction hole. These inlets do not always start when the door is opened before the hose is inserted. They also have the number 4940 on the proprietary inlets. If you have these inlets then you need the Vacuflo/Nutone adapter which will allow you to use the Stretch Hose.

Hello, the Stretch Hose alone weighs 5 lbs.

This kit fits all standard inlets (about 99% of all systems). Standard inlets have a 1-7/16 to 1-1/2 inch diameter hole.

Hi Sally, yes the Stretch Hose will fit directly into your inlets. Signature used the standard inlets, the kind you can see here https://builtinvacuum.com/inlets/basic.html. They are 1-1/2 inches in diameter for the hose connection.

Hello, yes the Stretch Hose works with all powered inlets - all inlets that have 110 volts (though it doesn't utilize that voltage) and all non-voltage inlets. The two tiny metal contacts inside the larger hole are triggered to turn the suction on.
