The Plastiflex 30-foot Dual Voltage Central Vacuum Hose with Direct Connect is an industry-standard electric hose manufactured by Plastiflex, the world's largest central vacuum hose manufacturer. This hose carries both 120V high voltage for powering electric powerheads and 24V low voltage for on/off control of your central vacuum unit - both sets of wires are molded directly into the hose body. The direct connect wall end plugs the high-voltage prongs directly into a compatible electric inlet valve, eliminating the need for a separate pigtail cord and nearby electrical outlet.

The hose body is 1-3/8 inches in diameter and fully crushproof, maintaining its shape under compression and springing back to full flow after being stepped on or compressed. The gas pump style handle swivels 360 degrees, eliminating hose kinking and reducing wrist fatigue during extended cleaning sessions. A 3-position switch on the handle provides three modes of operation: off, vacuum unit on only, and vacuum unit on with electric powerhead on - giving you full control without walking back to the wall switch.

The direct connect wall cuff fits standard 1.5-inch inner diameter built-in vacuum inlet valves. This hose is designed for industry-standard inlets and is compatible with most major central vacuum brands. Note: homeowners with NuTone, Sears, Kenmore, or Whirlpool vacuums may have non-standard 1.25-inch diameter inlets - contact Swiss Boy to verify compatibility before ordering. The button-lock stub tube at the handle end accepts standard wands and attachments.

Swiss Boy Vacuum stocks Plastiflex hoses as our trusted standard for central vacuum hose replacements. Plastiflex hoses are known for their durability, consistent airflow, and broad compatibility. Whether you're replacing a worn-out hose or upgrading from a suction-only model to an electric hose, the Plastiflex Dual Voltage hose is a reliable, long-lasting choice backed by Swiss Boy's central vacuum expertise.
