The 10-0806-2 is the 2-inch version of Sandia's grey hose barb fitting, used where a machine runs the larger-diameter vacuum or recovery hose rather than the 1-1/2-inch line found on standard Sniper extractors. Two-inch plumbing shows up where volume matters more than reach, which in practice means flood pumpers and high-recovery configurations moving standing water rather than damp carpet. This is the genuine Sandia replacement for that connection.
Restoration technicians replace this fitting for the same reason their carpet-cleaning counterparts replace the smaller one: the barbs get chewed up. Two-inch hose is stiff, it gets levered off with a screwdriver when it is cold, and after enough removals the fitting no longer pulls a clean seal. On a water loss, a leaking recovery joint is not a small annoyance, it is lost flow at exactly the moment you need every gallon per minute the machine can move.
Built for
- Replacing a worn or damaged 2-inch grey hose barb on Sandia recovery plumbing
- Rebuilding the vacuum or dump path on a flood pumper before storm season
- Repairing a fitting levered out of shape during cold-weather hose removal
- Carrying as a spare in a water damage restoration parts kit
One practical tip from the field: warm the hose before you push it onto a new barb. Two-inch hose at 45 degrees fights back, and forcing it is how barbs get scored and hose ends get split. A few minutes in warm water makes the joint go together properly and seat evenly under the clamp. And when you have the recovery side apart, rinse the tank out. Sandia specifically warns that build-up of fine silt and debris can damage the auto dump pump and dump valve.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need the 2-inch or the 1-1/2-inch fitting?
Measure the hose. Standard Sniper 12-gallon extractors use 1-1/2-inch vacuum hose and take the 10-0806. Machines plumbed with 2-inch hose take this 10-0806-2. If you are unsure, send us your model and serial number and we will check the parts list with you.
Which machines use 2-inch hose?
Larger-volume Sandia machines such as flood pumpers use bigger recovery plumbing than a standard carpet extractor. Confirm the size against the parts list for your specific model and serial number rather than assuming from the machine family.
How do I get stiff 2-inch hose onto the new barb?
Warm the hose end first. Forcing cold hose is the fastest way to score a new barb or split a hose end, and a poorly seated joint will leak under vacuum.
Will a leaking barb really cost me that much flow?
On the vacuum side, yes. An air leak anywhere in the recovery path bleeds off lift, and on a flood pumper that translates directly into gallons per minute you are not moving.
Is this a genuine Sandia part?
Yes. Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer supplying genuine Sandia service parts.
