Product Overview
Threaded connector to barb — 1.5 inch thread on one end, 2 inch barb on the other. It joins a 1.5 inch hose thread to a 2 inch cuffed hose end.
Cuff, Mender or Connector — Which Do You Need?
Three different parts, routinely bought in error for one another.
| Part | Joins | How |
| Hose cuff | Hose to tool or wand | Threaded end onto the hose, slip end onto the tool |
| Hose mender | Hose to hose | Threaded both ends — screws straight onto two bare hose ends |
| PVC connector | Cuff to cuff | Barbed both ends — the cuffs already fitted to each hose slip over it |
The one that catches people out is the PVC connector. It does not join two bare hose ends. It needs a cuff already fitted to each hose, and the barbs are there for those cuffs to slide over. So a PVC join is four parts — two hoses, two cuffs, one connector. A mender is two hoses and one mender, and nothing else.
Numbering Conflict — Check Before Ordering
The code AH69 is used differently by different suppliers. Some catalogues list AH69 as a 2.5 inch hose connector and use AH69-1 for the 1.5-inch-thread-to-2-inch-barb part.
CCW's AH69 is the 1.5 inch thread to 2 inch barb. If you have been given the code from another supplier's parts list, tell us what you actually need to join rather than relying on the number.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it join?
A 1.5 inch hose thread on one side to a 2 inch cuff slipped over the barb on the other.
Is this the same as a reducer cuff?
No. A reducer cuff like Hose Cuff 2 Inch Hose to 1.5 Inch Tool (AH48) goes hose-to-tool. This goes hose-to-hose across two different sizes.
Why do other suppliers list AH69 differently?
The code is not used consistently across the trade. Tell us the join you need and we will confirm.

What We See in the Field
Barbed vacuum fittings seal on the hose, so the condition of the hose end matters as much as the fitting. If the end has gone hard, oval or split, clamping harder usually creates a temporary repair instead of a good seal. On the 1.5" setup, that little detail matters.
