The 30-foot Gray Knit Central Vacuum Hose Sock Cover by Plastiflex is a simple, practical accessory that protects your home's walls, baseboards, furniture legs, and painted surfaces from scuffs and marks caused by the hose during everyday vacuuming. Unlike quilted zipper-style hose socks, the knit sock cover stretches over the hose body and stays in place without any fastener - making it quick to install, remove, and wash. The gray color is a neutral, unobtrusive match for most central vacuum hose colors.

The sock is made from a durable, stretchy knit fabric that conforms naturally to the hose body without bunching or slipping during use. It provides a soft, padded barrier between the hose and all surfaces it contacts during normal cleaning, preventing the scuff marks that hard plastic hose bodies leave on painted walls and wood trim. The knit construction also provides slight sound damping when the hose taps against hard surfaces like baseboards and door frames.

The 30-foot sock is designed to fit standard 30-foot central vacuum hoses with a 1-3/8 inch body diameter, leaving approximately one foot of hose exposed at each end for connection and handle access. It is fully machine washable and can be washed with regular laundry without removing it from the hose - simply zip or pull it off, wash, and stretch it back on once dry. No tools or special installation steps are required.

Swiss Boy Vacuum recommends pairing a hose sock with every central vacuum hose replacement or new system installation. The cost of a hose sock is minimal compared to the cost of repainting scuffed walls or refinishing scratched trim. Available in gray knit (30 and 35-foot) and blue quilted zipper styles. Contact Swiss Boy if you need a different length or style.
