Do you still need help?
If you are just not sure which hose to purchase, 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 our two step process outlined right here to walk you through your choices.

STEP ONE:  Determine what type of inlets you have.

Customers purchasing online often wonder if their central vacuum inlets are electric.  Sometimes there is confusion because ALL central vacuum inlets have low voltage wiring, and many standard inlets allow the use of an on/off hose.  Low voltage wiring does not mean an inlet is electric. Here are a few questions about your powerhead that might help you determine if you have electric inlets.  This is because the type of powerhead you use is generally related to the type of inlet you have. As always, please call one of our experts at 1-800-221-8227 if you need any assistance at all.

1.  What type of brush are you using on your carpet?
If you have mostly bare floors and are using a standard floor or carpet tool, or if you are using a Turbocat, or any air-driven powerhead, then you probably do not have an electric hose. You might want to take a look at our 30ft Turbo Hose.

2.  Do you use an electric powerhead on your carpeting?
An electric powerhead will have an electric connection somewhere on the powerhead.  You will either see a cord coming from your powerhead or you will see a receptacle where you will plug your cord.  If you see this then you need an electric hose. 

3.  Do you need an electric direct-connect hose or an electric pig-tail hose?
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.

NOTE:  The 35ft electric hose featured on this page has a pigtail hose end. The hose plugs into a standard inlet in the wall there is an additional cord that also plugs in. Take a look below to see the what a standard inlet looks like

STEP TWO:  Determine what type of hose end you have.

Take a look at the two different types of electric handles; recessed and flushed. The hose offered here is a flush hose end.  If you believe you have a recessed hose this is not the hose to purchase, look here for our other hose options.
