The Plastiflex 30-foot Low Voltage Switched Central Vacuum Hose is a practical, versatile hose for central vacuum systems where you want on/off control at the handle without high-voltage wiring for an electric powerhead. Low voltage hoses use a thin set of low-voltage wires to complete a circuit when the hose is inserted into the wall inlet, and the 2-position switch at the handle lets you turn the central vacuum unit on or off from wherever you're cleaning - no more walking to the inlet or the power unit to start and stop vacuuming.

The hose body is crushproof and 1-3/8 inches in diameter, with a soft, flexible construction that minimizes kinking and resists the wear of daily use. The ergonomic gas pump style handle features a 360-degree swivel that eliminates hose twisting during cleaning, reducing wrist fatigue and extending the life of the hose body. An air relief valve built into the handle allows you to reduce suction power when needed for delicate drapes, light fabrics, or fine area rugs.

The metal-banded wall cuff activates the central vacuum system when inserted into a standard 1.5-inch inlet valve, and the hose is compatible with most major central vacuum brands using industry-standard inlet sizing. The button-lock stub tube at the handle end accepts standard wands and non-electric attachments including turbo brushes, dusting brushes, crevice tools, and floor brushes. This hose does not carry 120V and cannot power electric powerheads.

Swiss Boy Vacuum recommends this hose for central vacuum owners who want reliable on/off handle control for non-electric cleaning setups - particularly those using turbo brush heads or suction-only attachments. It is one of Plastiflex's most practical and widely compatible hose offerings, and a frequent choice for secondary inlets in garages, basements, or vacation properties. Contact Swiss Boy for compatibility confirmation with your specific system.

Use Case

This low voltage hose is ideal for central vacuum owners who use turbo powerheads, suction brushes, or non-electric attachments and want handle-based on/off control. It is also an excellent choice as a replacement for worn low-voltage hoses in systems where a dual-voltage electric hose is not needed or where the inlet does not support 120V.
