Central Vacuum Hose By Brand
A question we are asked A LOT is whether a customer has to buy a hose from the same brand name as their central vacuum system. In most cases, the answer is not. But there are a handful of situations where a client has a model that is not well-matched with universal central vacuum hoses. (For example, older Nutone systems can be tricky.)
Universal Central Vacuum Hose
The importance of buying a universal central vacuum hose is that it can save you money. Off-brands tend to be less expensive than the core, most prominent brands. For instance, Cen-Tec makes central vacuum products and is one of the popular central vacuum suppliers throughout the US and Canada. Their central vacuum hoses provide a lot of bang for the buck and will fit almost any central vacuum system.
Central Vacuum Hose With Standard Connection
A normal inlet will feature low voltage wiring. The central vacuum hose will’ve got a metal cuff at the connection that will carry the electrical current into the hose. A standard inlet will house a “pigtail” hose style, as well. This hose will feature the same metal cuff at the connection, but will also have a distinct electrical cord that plugs into a wall outlet.
Central Vacuum Hose with Direct Connection
A central vacuum hose featuring “direct connect,” electrical constituents will have metal prongs on the end of the hose that connects into the wall inlet. When you plug in your hose, these prongs convey the electrical current through wiring that is contained inside the hose structure. This allows you to use electric carpeting power heads and wand systems.
