50' Grey Knit Central Vacuum Hose Sock w/ Ties

Covering runs up to 50 feet, this knit sock is the longest of the plain tie-end covers in this line, built for larger homes where a hose has to stretch across multiple rooms or floors from a single inlet. It is a stretchy grey knit that closes with tie ends (part 30608).

The longer a bare hose runs, the more contact points it has with baseboards, door frames and stair rails as it gets dragged from room to room, and each of those contacts is a chance to scuff paint or dent trim. The knit fabric absorbs that contact and flexes with the hose as it coils, rather than fighting the hose's natural bend. Tie ends at both ends keep the sock seated rather than sliding down toward the handle over repeated use.

• Length: covers a hose up to 50 feet long
• Material: stretch knit, grey
• Closure: tie ends at both hose ends
• Coverage: full 50-foot hose length, inlet to handle

This is a protective cover for an existing crushproof hose rather than a hose itself, and it does not include an install tube, so plan on working it down the hose in sections by hand rather than pulling it on in one motion. Measure your hose's actual length rather than assuming it matches your system's longest run, since inlets closer to a central hallway often use a shorter hose than the one at the far end of the house. Fitting it with the hose stretched out straight keeps the knit from bunching partway along.
