A 12 inch barefloor brush is perfect for any hard surface you want to clean. With the larger brush, you can clean more flooring in less time. It is great for tile, marble, vinyl, laminate, and hardwood floors. Even if your floors have deep grout, the brushes on this tool will grab the dirt out of the cracks on every pass. The swivel design allows you to get low, underneath counters and furniture. A central vacuum bare floor tool makes quick work of cleaning because they are light and easy to use.

Two Telescoping wands are included for use with the powerhead and other attachments. One has the cord management included for use with the powerhead and the other is for use with the other attachments. However, some people want more wands. You may want to consider purchasing extra wands. Often customers like to keep an extra set of wands and a bare floor brush in their garage, utility closet, or kitchen pantry. This allows them to just pull out their hose and they are ready to clean in the garage, bathroom, upstairs, or wherever. In addition, an extra set of wands allows you to extend your cleaning capability beyond the length of two wands (traditionally 42”). If you have high ceilings or ceiling fans, an extra set of extension wands can really be handy for getting those hard to reach areas. |

The Dusting Brush has natural 1 1/2
inch bristles. A small tool with full bristles, the dusting brush has traditionally been used for dusting furniture, baseboards, lamps, and lamp shades. You can go even further with a good dusting brush and take your cleaning to a new level. A central vacuum system with a good dusting brush is ideal for cleaning screens, air conditioning vents, refrigerator coils, permanent air filters, ceiling fans, blinds, window frames, crown molding, and light fixtures. |

An Upholstery tool is a standard cleaning accessory found in this central vacuum attachment set. The standard upholstery tool usually includes an elongated tool with or without short bristles. The central vacuum upholstery tool is designed for cleaning furniture and car upholstery. Most upholstery tools are constructed of a heavy duty plastic. There are, however, a wide variety of upholstery tools designed for a wide variety of cleaning applications. This tool has a removeable brush strip so you can use the upholstery tool with or without the brushes. If you are looking for a deeper cleaning tool for your upholstery, consider a hand held power brush.

A crevice tool is ideal for cleaning hard to access…well, crevices. These tools are thin and narrow and allow you to get into small areas with your central vacuum system. The crevice tool included with this kit is 9 inches long. But crevice tools come in a variety of lengths…anywhere from 4” all the way up to 36”. The longer crevice tools are perfect for getting under your refrigerator or very low furniture. The flexible crevice tool is perfect for cleaning the lint trap on your clothes dryer.

A tool caddy allows you to vacuum your floors carrying tools attached to your vacuum wand. This saves you time. For instance, when vacuuming your floors if you notice the ceiling fan is dusty, no problem. Without look for the dusting brush in your closet, you simply remove it from the attached tool caddy, put on the dusting brush and voila, you can clean the fan right then and there. A tool caddy puts the tools you need at your fingertips.

A hose hanger allows you to easily store your hose when not in use. You can mount it on a closet door or the wall of your garage and store your hose neatly coiled up to prevent kinks. It not only saves space, but also protects your hose.

A canvas tool bag allows you to easily store your tools when not in use. You can put it in your closet or hang it up where you choose. Use it to carry the tools with you as you clean if you prefer doing that. By having a place the tools belong when you're not using them, you'lll be less likely to misplace them.

Determine What Type Of Inlets You Have
What do you need: an electric direct-connect hose or an electric pig-tail attachment set?
If you are just not sure whether or not you need a direct connect or pigtail attachment set, we can help. First, don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-221-8227 and we can ask you a few simple questions to make sure you get the perfect hose for your central vacuum system. OR...you can follow below right here to walk you through your choices.
The best way to decide whether you need a direct connect electric hose or a pigtail electric hose is by determining what type of inlets you have. Standard inlets will require the use of an electric pigtail hose.
| Electric Central Vacuum Inlets |
|

|
Electric Inlets can be used with any standard, turbo, pigtail or direct connect hoses but they are designed for direct connect hoses. These inlets require low voltage wiring AND electrical wiring. The low voltage wiring is used to turn the vacuum system on or off. The electrical wiring provides electricity to the powerhead that is used to clean carpet. The direct connect central vacuum hose has electrical wire running through the hose and the end that plugs into the inlet has prongs that fit into the inlet for electricity to the powerhead. |
|
If the inlets pictured above look like your inlets, then you need a direct connect attachment set. If NOT, take a look at the standard inlets picture below. If you have standard inlets then you will need to purchase a pigtail attachment set. A pigtail electric central vacuum hose will have a cord exposed only on the end of the hose. This cord will plug into the electrical outlet near the central vacuum inlet you are using.
|
| Standard Central Vacuum Inlets |
|

|
Standard Inlets are non-electrical inlets. These inlets require low voltage for turning the vacuum system on or off. These inlets have NO electrical capability. If electrical attachments are used (i.e. powerhead), then you need to use a central vacuum hose called a Pigtail Hose. This hose has a powercord attached to it and in addition to connecting the hose to the inlet, there will be a 4 to 8 foot power cord (usually referred to as a Pigtail) that plugs into an electrical outlet for electricity.

If you have a central vacuum, then you will be able to relate to the tremendous advantage of a hose sock. A central vacuum hose is constructed of ribbed material which can cause scratches, dents, chips and scuff marks on your walls and furniture. A hose sock covers the vacuum hose and provides a barrier between the ribbed hose material and your walls, making it impossible for the hose to cause any damage. Look here to view our hose sock selection.
