A split vacuum hose does not usually announce itself. Suction at the floor head drops a little, the machine sounds louder than it used to, and the crew starts going over the same carpet twice. On a commercial upright that runs every night, the short stretch hose is the part that gives out first, because it is flexed, stepped on and yanked around door frames hundreds of times a week. This is the OEM Bissell replacement for that hose: part 02-0024-1, a black stretch hose measuring 50 cm long by 32 mm in diameter, for the BGUPRO14T upright.
Replacing the hose is the cheapest way to get a working machine back to full suction. A vacuum that has lost airflow through a cracked hose is not just slower, it is leaving soil in the pile, which is what shows up later as traffic lanes in front of doors and elevators. Keeping a spare hose on the shelf means a torn one gets swapped between shifts instead of pulling the machine out of rotation.
Use Cases
- Nightly janitorial routes. A machine that goes into a cart and out again every night flexes the hose constantly; this is the routine wear part on that duty cycle.
- Suction troubleshooting. When the brush roll turns, the bag is fresh and the filters are clean but pickup is still weak, a cracked or pinholed stretch hose is the usual culprit.
- Fleet spares. Housekeeping departments running several BGUPRO14T uprights keep hoses on hand so a torn one never takes a machine out of service.
- Post-incident repair. Hoses caught under a caster, in a doorway or on a bed frame tear at the cuff end and need immediate replacement.
Fitment And What Is Included
This is the hose only. It does not include cuffs or fittings for attachments, so if your old cuffs are intact you will reuse them. It is the genuine Bissell part 02-0024-1 for the BGUPRO14T, not a universal generic length. If you are not certain which upright you have, the model number is on the data plate on the machine body; our team can confirm the match before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this hose come with cuffs or end fittings?
No. It is the hose only, with no cuffs for attachments, so plan on reusing the fittings from your existing hose.
Which machine does it fit?
It is the Bissell replacement stretch hose for the BGUPRO14T upright. It measures 50 cm long by 32 mm in diameter.
How do I know the hose is the problem and not the motor?
Check the simple things first: a full bag, a clogged filter and a stalled brush roll all reduce pickup. If those are clear and suction is still weak, run a hand along the hose while the machine is on and feel for air escaping through a split or pinhole, especially near the ends where flexing is worst.
Is this a genuine Bissell part?
Yes. It is the OEM Bissell part number 02-0024-1 rather than an aftermarket substitute.
How long should a hose last?
It depends entirely on duty cycle and handling. On a machine used nightly and moved between floors on a cart, the hose is a consumable that most housekeeping departments plan to replace periodically rather than a part that lasts the life of the vacuum.
Discount Cleaning Products stocks OEM Bissell commercial parts alongside the vacuums, filters and bags that go with them. Our US-based team can confirm the part against your machine's model number so the hose that arrives is the one that fits.
