30 ft x 1-3/8" Crushproof Vacuum Hose, Light Grey - Premium Grade

This is a thirty-foot length of crushproof vacuum hose in one of the wider bore sizes in the lineup, measuring 1-3/8 inches across, finished in a light grey jacket. A full replacement length is the practical route when a working hose has failed partway down its run and patching the damaged section is no longer worth the effort.

Underneath the jacket, a helical wall reinforcement is what keeps the tube from pancaking flat when a door swings shut on it or furniture rolls across it, so the air path stays open instead of choking down suction at the pinch point. It bends around stair corners and furniture without kinking, and it moves more volume than a narrower 1-1/4 inch hose would, simply as a function of the larger cross-section.

Central vacuum and canister hoses vary in how they terminate, so confirm the end fittings and cuff style you need before ordering and compare them against the hose you are replacing. Where a cut end has to be fitted to a cuff, a clean square cut matters more than it looks like it would, since an angled or ragged edge can catch on the internal ribs of a clamp-style cuff and keep it from sealing evenly all the way around, which shows up later as a soft air leak right at the joint rather than anywhere along the hose body itself. Coil the hose loosely for storage or transport rather than folding it, since a sharp fold works against the same helical wall that resists crushing under a door.
