Vacuum Hose Accessories Cuffs & Joiners
Every joint in a vacuum line is a place to lose lift. A cuff that has gone loose, a mender taped up on site or a reducer in the wrong place will cost more recovery than most operators expect — and none of it shows on a gauge at the machine.
This range covers the connection points on the vacuum side: cuffs, swivels, connectors, reducers, menders and splitters.
It includes hose cuffs and swivel cuffs in 1.5 inch and 2 inch; threaded cuffs stepping 1.5 inch to 2 inch and 2 inch to 1.5 inch; PVC connectors in 1.5 to 1.5, 2 to 2 and 2 to 1.5; hose menders in both thread sizes; the Vac Attack 1.5 to 2 inch tool connect; a stainless 2 inch vacuum Y splitter; and Hide-A-Hose swivel cuffs in both sizes.
How to choose
Measure the hose, not the machine. Cuff size follows the hose diameter. A 2 inch cuff on 1.5 inch hose leaks air around the whole circumference.
Reduce as late as possible. Every step down costs airflow. If a 1.5 inch tool has to run off a 2 inch line, put the reducer at the tool end, not at the machine.
Swivel cuffs save the hose, not the operator. A fixed cuff transfers every twist into the hose wall. On a machine that gets dragged around furniture all day, swivels extend hose life more than they improve handling.
A mender is a repair, not a fitting. It is the right answer to a split hose in the middle of a job. Two menders in one line means it is time for new hose.
