Swivel Cuff 1.5 Inch

Product Overview

Swivel cuff for 1.5 inch (38mm) vacuum hose. 1.5 inch thread onto the hose, 1.5 inch slip onto the tool, with a swivel between them.

What the Swivel Actually Does

You rotate the wand constantly through a cleaning stroke. With a fixed cuff, that rotation goes straight into the hose, which winds up, stores the twist and then kinks or drags against you.

A swivel cuff decouples the two. The manufacturer's own wording is that it "holds securely on the hose yet will swivel freely on the wand or tool", so the hose lies still while the tool turns.

If you find yourself stopping to untwist the hose, that is the job this part does. It costs more once and saves the hose from being torqued every stroke.

Thread and Slip — Not Male and Female

Standard vacuum hose cuffs are specified as thread x slip, and getting this straight removes most of the confusion in this part of the catalogue.

• The threaded end screws onto the vacuum hose. It engages the external helix of the hose itself, which is why it grips.
• The slip end is a plain socket that pushes onto the wand or tool tube.

There is no male or female option on a standard screw cuff. That terminology belongs to the Flash Cuff quick-connect range, which is a different and non-interchangeable system. If someone has told you to order a "female 1.5 inch cuff", they most likely mean a Flash Cuff.

Worth knowing: there is no published thread standard, pitch or TPI for vacuum cuff threads, from any manufacturer we can find. The pitch is set by the helix of the hose, not by a fitting standard. Cuffs from different makers usually interchange, but test the joint before you rely on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth it over a plain cuff?

If you untwist your hose during a job, yes. If you work mostly in straight runs, the plain cuff is fine.

What is the difference from the Hide-A-Hose swivel?

The Hide-A-Hose Swivel Cuff 1.5 Inch (AH13) swivels and also passes the solution line through the middle of the vacuum hose. This one only swivels.

Which end goes on the hose?

The threaded end.
