This is the complete 7 foot attachment hose assembly for Kirby Ultimate G and Diamond Edition uprights, supplied with both ends already fitted so it goes on the machine as a unit. The attachment hose is the part that takes the most physical abuse on a Kirby. It gets flexed hard at the collar every time it is fitted and removed, dragged around furniture, and stepped on. When it eventually splits, the machine loses suction at the tools while still running normally on the floor, which is the classic symptom owners describe before they find the crack.
Buying the complete assembly rather than a bare hose matters here. Both the suction and blower end and the swivel end are included, so there is no salvaging fittings from a cracked hose and no guessing whether the old collar will seat properly. The swivel end lets the hose rotate as you work above furniture and along baseboards instead of kinking, which is both easier on the operator and easier on the hose itself.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know the hose is the problem and not the machine?
If the vacuum has normal suction on the floor but weak or no suction at the tools, the attachment hose is the first thing to check. Run a hand along the full length while the machine is on and listen for air being drawn in at a split, and inspect closely at the collar ends where flex fatigue concentrates.
Does this include both end fittings?
Yes. This is the complete assembly with the suction and blower end and the swivel end already fitted, so it installs as a single unit. You do not need to transfer any hardware from the old hose.
Which Kirby models does the 223602S fit?
It is made for the Ultimate G, ULTG and Diamond Edition platform. Kirby used the same attachment hose interface across a broad range of G series machines, so it is commonly used on nearby generations as well. Check your model badge and, if there is any doubt, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
Why does the hose crack at the same spot every time?
The collar ends are where the hose flexes most and where the wall is under the most stress during fitting and removal. Supporting the hose at the collar instead of pulling on the corrugation when you remove it, and storing it without a tight bend, meaningfully extends the life of the replacement.
