Vacuum Hose & Cuffs

The most important thing is to measure the connection sizes before ordering. Check the internal diameter and external diameter of your existing hose, vacuum inlet, tool connection or machine outlet. Vacuum hoses, cuffs and adaptors are available in a range of common sizes including 32mm, 35mm, 38mm, 51mm, 58mm, 63mm and 100mm, so measuring carefully will help you choose the correct part.

ID means internal diameter, which is the measurement across the inside of the hose, cuff or fitting. OD means outside diameter, which is the measurement across the outside of the hose, cuff or fitting. Both measurements can be important because some parts push inside a hose, while others push over the outside of a connector.

A vacuum hose cuff is fitted to the end of a vacuum hose so it can connect securely to a vacuum cleaner, tool, floor tool, extension tube or adaptor. Cuffs are commonly used to replace worn hose ends, repair damaged hoses or connect a hose to a different size fitting.

A hose cuff usually fits directly onto the end of a vacuum hose and forms the main connection point. A hose adaptor is used to convert one size or fitting style to another, for example connecting a 32mm hose to a 35mm tool, or reducing a larger dust extraction outlet down to a smaller vacuum hose size.

Yes, hose-to-hose cuffs and connectors can be used to join compatible vacuum hoses together. This can be useful when you need extra reach for workshop cleaning, commercial cleaning or dust extraction. Make sure the hose diameters match the connector size to avoid leaks or poor suction.

Yes, reducers and adaptors are available to connect larger dust extraction outlets to smaller vacuum hoses. For example, adaptors can be used to reduce larger 100mm, 63mm or 58mm connections down to smaller hose sizes depending on the machine, vacuum and application.

Standard vacuum hose is suitable for general cleaning and dust extraction use. Antistatic or conductive hose is designed to help reduce static build-up when collecting fine dust or working with compatible grounded systems. For antistatic performance, the whole system must be suitable, including the hose, cuffs, machine and connections.

Crushproof vacuum hose is designed to be more resistant to being flattened, kinked or damaged during use. It is useful in workshops, commercial cleaning, carpet extraction and other environments where the hose may be dragged, stepped on or moved around frequently.

The best hose size depends on the machine, the type of material being collected and the tools being used. Smaller hoses such as 32mm are easy to handle and common for domestic and commercial vacuum tools. Larger hoses such as 38mm, 51mm, 63mm or 100mm are often used where higher airflow or larger debris collection is required.

Vacuum hose clamps are used to secure hose, cuffs, adaptors or ducting to a machine outlet, inlet or connector. They help create a firmer connection and reduce the risk of the hose slipping off during use, especially with larger dust extraction hose or workshop ducting.
